Summary I Speak Soccer: A Documentary About the International Language of Pickup (2009)

An around-the-world tour of language, culture, and play through the lens of pickup soccer.

Soccer is the world's most popular game. It's also the most photogenic. Yet, 99% of the world's players never get their picture taken...It's their turn! Join American Terry Kegel as he embarks on a world-wide tour of pickup soccer. Unlike professional or amateur league games, pickup is an unofficial, public, and self-defined version of sport. Without a referee to enforce internationally standardized rules, players create their own structure and style, which are influenced by their cultural and physical environment. Discover the power of this informal play as both an honest reflection of our diversity and an inspiring force in community-building.
