Another previously considered thought regarding Goal! The Dream Begins that escaped me earlier has reintroduced itself. Specifically, aren't there any bands from Newcastle that could've provided something to the soundtrack? The music accompanying the film was a collection of great brit pop from the last ten years, including Kasabian's driving "Club Foot", South's cathartic "Paint the Silence", the new single "Playground Superstar" by the amazingly not-yet-dead-of-a-massive-overdose Shaun Ryder and the reformed Happy Mondays, and remixes of the Oasis hey-day standards "Morning Glory" and "Cast No Shadow" as well as the original towering b-side "Acquiesce" (with the incredibly appropriate chorus "because we need each other, we believe in one another, and i know we're gonna uncover what's sleepin' in our soul"). Lots of Manchester, but Santiago played for the Toon ... no brit pop acts from up north? C'mon! Freakin' China Drum, if no one else?
