Plot
The Yugoslavia national team prepares to participate in the inaugural FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams that will take place in the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo in 1930. After a lengthy trip over the Atlantic Ocean, the Yugoslavia national team finds themselves amongst 12 other nations, competing for the World Cup.
The Yugoslavia team are the underdogs of the tournament and are given a minimal chance of succeeding after being drawn with the favorites of the tournament, Brazil. Thanks to the talent and dedication of the players, they defeat Bolivia and Brazil in their group stage and advance to the knockout stage.
However, before and especially after the match against Bolivia, the team loses the spirit of unity between them. Some players become interested in contracts offered by Mr. Hotchkins, an American football businessman, and some of them start doubting if they will come back to Yugoslavia after the tournament. Tirke falls in love with a local lady named Dolores.
The Yugoslav team is drawn to play against Uruguay. On the pre-match training, the team looks very unmotivated and players fight with each other. At the same time, Tirke is being held at the house of Dolores by her brother, as he doesn't want him to play against his nation. His teammates eventually free him, and get their team spirit risen up again.
The atmosphere at Centenario before the game feels like a war, where everyone is against the Yugoslavs. In the match itself, Yugoslavia scores first, but then concedes, and has their goal disputedly disallowed, while the Uruguay's goal gets scored after an assist from a policeman standing besides the pitch, as the referee prefers to keep it safe as the stadium is furious. Yugoslavia loses the game.
After they return to the hotel, they meet the United States team and decide to organise a match for third place between them, which the Yugoslavs eventually win and receive the bronze medal. All the players decline Hotchkins' offers.
