I saw a really interesting documentary on Gol TV (a cable/satellite soccer channel in the U.S.)about minor league soccer in Argentina. It follows the players and fans of the team Sachachispas. At the time film was made, I think they were competing at a level four level, which I believe is equivelant to "A" ball in United States baseball (in U.S. baseball, there is Major League (like Premier), then AAA, AA, A, and Rookie is the lowest level of leagues). Many people think that professional athletes just go from schooling to premier or major leagues, but they forget all the sacrifices they make to make the time to pracice and develop their skills -working at a regular job, making the extra time each day for practice, road trips to visiting clubs, etc. -And very few make it. Anyway, I thought this was a very good documentary about the players on this team, and the fans that support it. I checked, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available on DVD, at least in the U.S.
