Next Goal Wins - Jaiyah Saelua

Today, Sat 3rd May 2014 - the Telegraph Sports section has an article by Simon Briggs about their transgender 'fa'afafine' centre-half Jaiyah Saelua and her skills and effort in the team. The film was supposed to be about the nearly farcical American Samoa football (soccer) team.

Quote "How useful this film could be in breaking down the blinkered culture of professional football. Even by the standards of its peers, the sport suffers from alarmingly primitive values. ..... It is hard to imagine a better role model for this stiflingly masculine game"
