This sounds intriguing! A satire mixed with sports crime set during such a chaotic time in Mexico is a fresh angle. I love how films like this can offer a unique lens on historical events while blending genres. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance the dark comedy with the real stakes involved.

I'm curious if they’ll draw inspiration from any specific incidents during that World Cup or if it’ll be more of a fictionalized take. The potential for clever commentary and action sequences here is definitely something to look forward to! What aspects do you think they should focus on to really capture that era?

Diego Luna playing a guy who does anything to bring the World Cup to Mexico feels perfect. I like how they mix real history with this dark comedy style. The part about using ingenuity and zero scruples makes me curious how far he goes. After Narcos Mexico I know Luna can do these complex characters very well. June 5 cannot come soon enough. Mexico in 86 had that special energy with Maradona too, so seeing it from the inside should be interesting. Solid concept.

Finally something different from the usual sports movies. I am tired of underdog stories on the field. This one shows the dirty work behind the scenes and I am here for it. Martín de la Torre sounds like a real operator. Diego Luna with that role is a great choice, he always brings seriousness. The quote about winning not just on the pitch is smart. Hope they show the political side honestly without making it too heavy. I will watch day one.

Looks promising but I hope they don’t make it too serious. The satire and dark comedy tags give me hope it will be fun to watch. Martín using every trick to get the World Cup for Mexico is the kind of story I enjoy. Diego Luna is reliable, he always delivers. The trailer dropped recently so I need to check it after this. Mexico hosting in 86 was historic, good they are making content about it now.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. A movie that goes behind the nice image of the World Cup and shows the real deals and power plays. The character sounds clever and ruthless which makes it more real. Diego Luna as the lead is perfect because he understands Mexican stories. I like the mix of historical fiction and sports crime. June 5 is marked on my calendar already. Should be a strong release.

Hmm interesting idea. Using a fictional guy to tell the story of how Mexico got the 86 World Cup. I am not big on dark comedy but if it stays smart I might like it. Luna has been doing big things lately with Andor and everything. The ambition and political maneuvering part caught my attention. It could teach something about how these big events really happen. Will give it a try for sure.

I am a bit worried they will change too many real facts but overall it looks entertaining. Bringing the World Cup through cunning moves instead of just football is fresh. Luna is one of our best actors so I trust him with this. The quote in the article is good. Hope the dark comedy balances well with the historical parts. Excited for June.

Straight up this concept is fire. A guy with audacity who bends all rules to host the World Cup? That is a story worth telling. Diego Luna coming from Narcos Mexico to this feels natural. The nostalgia for that era plus modern Netflix production should work well. I am ready to see the chaos and clever moves. June 5 is going to be a good day for football fans.
