Watch: Mike Bassett: England Manager 2001 123movies, Full Movie Online – The manager of England’s national football unexpectedly succumbs to a heart attack, and suddenly the search is on for a replacement. Most people who seem qualified for the position have the good sense to turn it down, and so the responsibility falls to Mike Bassett, a scruffy and loud-mouthed lout whose claim to football fame is leading a previously undistinguished team to a league championship. Bassett insists that England will win the World Cup under his leadership, but that’s before he replaces his star player with a once-gifted footballer who has since developed a drinking problem, and hired a one-time car salesman as his assistant. After stunning losses to Poland and Belgium, Bassett goes from a favorite of both fans and the press to one of the most hated men in England; hoping to whip his team into shape, he subjects them to the high-tech training methods of eccentric Dr. Shoegaarten, which injures more players than it helps. Despite Bassett’s ineptitude, England manages to qualify for the World Cup tournament thanks to group opponents Turkey losing their final game, and he flies to Rio with his team in hopes of somehow turning their bad luck around..
Plot: After England’s football (soccer) manager has a heart attack, Mike Bassett is hired as the new manager and promptly announces the team will win the World Cup.

MJM REVIEW
Only an Englishman would truly understand this film. Classic! I have rated it probably a lot higher than I usually would have done. I have rated with the heart because for me, this is definitely a guilty pleasure movie.Ricky Tomlinson was a great choice for the lead role as Mike Bassett, England manager. The writers and director have thought of everything. It truly depicts all the heartache, the ups, the downs, the wild side (well maybe in the 90s lol), the tension, the fans, the drama…. EVERYTHING! It is summed up perfectly.
Ok, it is not a Hollywood Blockbuster I agree, but for the English, it is a great film to watch, especially before a football tournament, to get you in the mood. It makes you truly proud to be an Englishman, and even though we have suffered over 50 years of hurt (in the men’s game). We are a unique and proud bunch of football fans and despite all the struggles over the years, deep down, we love our team and our country, no matter what. Best fans in the world! At least give us that 😉
