ONCE AGAIN APPALLING DUBBING
4 April 2023
Why does this otherwise excellent drama about the long standing corruption in FIFA based on the experience of one Latin American FIFA member need dubbing and to make it even worse English subtitles that don't bear a close enough relationship to the dubbed script.

We all know that the history of the most popular game in the world - from the cobbled streets of Caracas and the exceptionally clean streets of Vienna, to the barrios and nooks and crannies of Cadiz in Andalucía Southern Spain, the barrios of Santa Cruz in Sevilla and all the way to Napoli, Potenza Bari & Lecce, is about big money and crooked noses.

Even in the streets of Palermo, Catania & Ragusa in the face of anti Mafia posters a football is always being kicked.

Dubbing is awful for whatever subject fiction or non fiction is makes the actors look fools.

UGLY DUBBING INTO AMERICAN EGLISH
1 April 2023
The storyline appears accurate. I spent time as a mature student of Latin American politics and language in Columbia and others parts of that region in the early 90s. Police corruption was much more serious than this series indicates and is not well enough covered.

The problems with this series are the shockingly poor production values.

The series loses a lot as a result of shocking dubbing to an ugly Americanese. Even worse the English subtitles are not even the words used in the dubbing!

Personally I found the above incompetence a direct and serious insult to the victims, the actors and the viewers.
