Futbol movie recomendations?

Every movie about soccer/futbol I've seen in the past year I've absolutely loved. Of course the list is exactly 3 films long, and there might be a connection to my love of movies in England.

So far I've seen:
Bend it Like Beckham
(Green Street) Hooligans
Goal

Fever Pitch (the original version, not the Americanized remake about Red Sox fans)

Anything else? I've seen Shaolin Soccer and Trainspotting, and while I like them both, they aren't exactly what I had in mind in terms of soccer movies. I've yet to check out the original Fever Pitch but I now intend to. I really like the author. Loved About a Boy and High Fidelity: both the movie and the book. So yeah, anything else?

Give Victory a try. I haven't seen it in ages but I remember liking it quite a bit when I was a kid. It even features Pele! What more could you ask for? Looks like there is even a DVD, although I'd never heard of it or seen it in the stores before.

"A Shot at Glory" was decent. About a Scottish 2nd Division squad making a run in the Scottish Cup.

Hotshot
Haven't seen this in like 20 years though. Not sure if it holds up.

Mean Machine was fun. It's a remake of The Longest Yard with soccer.
