ESPN Films, creators of the critically-acclaimed 30 for 30 film series, presents 30 for 30 Soccer Stories, the series premiere surrounding the 2014 FIFA World Cup on ESPN. 30 for 30: Soccer Stories include a mix of standalone feature-length and 30-minute-long documentary films from an award winning group of filmmakers.
30 for 30: Soccer Stories is a collection of eight films about the world's most popular sport, and various untold stories of accomplishment, hardship, and disaster within soccer. From Maradona's genius in the 1986 World Cup to the mystery behind one of the most coveted trophies in sports, an award-winning group of filmmakers, including Brett Ratner and Alex Gibney, offer compelling narratives from around the international soccer landscape.

7)  Barbosa: The Man who Made Brazil Cry
In a play that lasted only moments, goalkeeper Moacir Barbosa forever earned the title: The man who made Brazil cry. But of course, no man can be summarized by a single event. Given the opportunity to host their first World Cup in 1950, Brazil has high hopes of establishing the country as both an economic and soccer powerhouse. To establish the former, they have erected the Maracana in Rio, the largest stadium in the world, to host the majority of the home team's games. The latter seems a statement of fact given that the team features known stars like Ademir, Zizinho and Moacir Barbosa, widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The pressure on Barbosa and the team is intense but on the eve of the last game, against much smaller Uruguay, it seems poised to deliver the championship. With 11 minutes remaining in the game, everything unravels. Alcides Ghiggia, a small and dangerous forward, tucks a ball between Barbosa and the near post to win the game for Uruguay. Brazil goes into a state of mourning and Barbosa becomes an anti-hero in his own country. Even today, having won five subsequent World Cups, Brazil's wound remains fresh. Barbosa himself never plays in another Cup and, in a supreme irony, winds up spending most of his working life as an administrator at the site of his lowest moment: the Maracana. By nature a happy man, Barbosa's life is haunted by one bitter moment to the end.
