Plot summary

Most people know foosball as the game they used to play in their parent's basement, but for some die-hard fans, foosball isn't just a game... it's a way of life. Enter the underground world of professional foosball, a sport that's been around for over 40 years but no one knows exists. Through an ensemble cast, FOOSBALLERS not only uncovers a forgotten piece of sports history, it follows 6 of the best table soccer players in the world as they prepare for the sport's most prestigious event, The Tornado World Championships.

Good movie, I just thought it could have shed 15-20 minutes

My friends and I used to play Foosball in bars regularly when we were in our 20s. In our 50s now we still get together a handful of times each year to see if we still have skills.Considering the waning popularity of foosball in our country, I was surprised how professional this documentary was. The quality of the video shots was great.We loved getting the background of the sport and hearing about its heyday, as well as the likely causes for its loss in popularity.Loved seeing the skills and dedication that the featured players each had for the sport.My big complaint was that I thought some of the movie got a little repetitive in places, and thought that maybe they could have shaved off 15-20 more minutes in the editing process to make it a tighter film.Nonetheless, for anyone who likes to shoot foosball, it is definitely worth a watch.

Surprisingly Enjoyable & Well-Made

High production value, great story, and a memorable cast of characters. I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised with one of the most interesting sports documentaries I've seen recently. Highly recommended to everyone, including those who know nothing about foosball.
