Chicago Tribune
Most sports films are also fish-out-of-water stories, and this one qualifies as both.

The A.V. Club
How much viewers care about what happens in Goal! is directly proportionate to how much they care about soccer, because decent execution aside, there's an underdog fantasy movie just like this one for every sport.

The film is capably acted and somewhat inspiring.

Variety
A slickly mounted slice of can-do nonsense.

Entertainment Weekly
The cast, all around, is sterling. There's only one thing they don't need to bring back for the sequels, and that's the movie's appetite for every sports cliché there ever was.
