Excellent as a National Theatre presentation too, funny and warm at the same time rooted in the reality of what football means in England ! Gareth Southgates approach to team building, being a catalyst for change, challenging masculine sterotypes, supporting his players and coping with having the press and the more extreme minority views against you and the national team, with his own history of a national game penalty mis-step. Fiennes is brilliant as Southgate, excellent all round, whether football fan or not!
