... is a very funny soccer documentary (2003) by Johan Cramer (NL)about a football match between Bhutan and Montserrat, the then-lowest ranked teams on FIFA World Rankings.

Cramer, the director, couldn't cheer on the Dutch side during the World Cup, so decided to make a documentary about teams that were worse than the Netherlands, and chose these two. The Other Final won the Avignon Film Festival as best documentary (2003).
