From locker rooms to the pitch, we take a glimpse into the lives of legends in Captains ofthe World. Produced by Netflix and FIFA, this docu series follows all 32 national teams that took part in the 2022 Qatar World Cup as they battled it out for the chance to lift the most coveted cup of the football world. The series tells these stories through the eyes of team captains, including Argentina’s Lionel Messi, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazil’s Thiago Silva, England’s Harry Kane, and France’s Hugo Lloris, as well as other stars, journalists, and World Cup legends.

You’ll get a fresh perspective on the games and the players: Whether you’re a football aficionado or barely know the names of three players, you can’t help but be impressed by the cinematography and the fresh perspective on the way the matches are described.

Drama, drama, drama: FIFA President Gianni Infantino called the event the “ best World Cup inhistory ” with all of the unexpected twists and turns, such as Argentina’s shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in the group stage, before ultimately snagging the World Cup title. The championship also saw Morocco roaring through a streak of victories that helped it get to the semifinals, defeating giants like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal along the way.

The series scored but missed on some aspects: The series can’t really be considered as a comprehensive tell-all, as many of the captains of the 32 teams participating in the tournament are absent, including host nation Qatar. There was also some favoritism, with some teams arguably receiving more coverage than others and a number of top captains appeared in only fleeting shots — such as Serbian Luka Modric and Dutch Virgil van Dijk.
