Movies and soccer. Two things that traditionally don't mix well. In documentary form, maybe. But in scripted Hollywood form? No. For various reasons, it usually ends in either cheesy emotions, unconvincing action, or Robert Duvall's Scottish accent in A Shot at Glory. But not always.

Odd as it may sound, Clint Eastwood was Lyon's guest of honor for their match against Sochaux on Saturday. The elderly badass is in town for the first ever Lyon Film Festival, where he is to receive an award from French director Bertrand Tavernier for his contributions to cinema.

Eastwood probably won't be receiving any awards for his contributions to kicking a football anytime soon, though, as it appears he opted for the awkward high steppin' scoop kick on his ceremonial kickoff.

Viewers watching BBC1's Saturday evening candyfest "Strictly Come Dancing" might have been somewhat surprised to see Bruce Forsyth announce the news that, after everything, the BBC had managed to secure the rights to show highlights of the World Cup qualifying match between Ukraine and England and that they would be shown later that evening on BBC1.

L'esperienza in Serie A, alla guida del Napoli, è già finita. I deludenti risultati ottenuti, in quest'inizio di Serie A hanno convinto De Laurentiis a dare una svolta alla situazione. Roberto Donadoni è stato esonerato dal presidentissimo De Laurentiis che lo ha sostituito con Walter Mazzarri (in passato sulla panchina della Sampdoria in Serie A). Click to continue reading...

The goal: to eat a pie at all 92 grounds in English league football. The results: in some cases, surprising.
The pie and football go together like strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, like popcorn at the cinema or like ten lagers and a kebab on a Friday night. It is a match made in heaven. Click to continue reading...

Adriano has had his share of problems but it seems that wasn't enough. He continued with unprofessional behaviour when he joined Flamengo and he's gone AWOL once again. Adriano have been missing from training for three days and Flamengo officials were forced to send police after him.

In case you missed it at the cinema you can watch Goal 2: Living The Dream in it's entirety on Megavideo. You can watch the trailer for the recently released direct-to-DVD, green-screen failure that is Goal 3 at TOW but I wouldn't recommend watching any more than that as it looks absolutely dreadful.

Some of you may have heard by now that there is a film due to be released on 12th June called 'Looking for Eric' and it is indeed, a story surrounding the ex-United legend, Eric 'collar up' Cantona.

I've actually seen a trailer for the film. Not because I've looked online I might add - because i went to the cinema recently and it was on there.

Wenger: And this is how you use your right foot! London is a city of football (and football clubs) but also the show-bizz hot spots with lots of shows and musicals. Arsene Wenger never saw any of them. "Cinema? That's not why I'm in London. Music? No time for music..." The Click to continue reading...

As we say farewell to 2008 and hello to 2009 I wanted to start off on a lighter note than some of my previous blog's. Christmas is a not to far distant memory, and one thing I did get excited about was Christmas television, especially films.

Rodney Dangerfield often joked that he "didn't get no respect." Well, anyone who has seen his 1992 soccer film Ladybugs doesn't owe Dangerfield any respect. In fact, it's fair to say he rightfully earned their eternal disrespect by appearing in such an appalling excuse for soccer cinema. The movie's plot is as insane and deranged as Dangerfield himself: Rodney's character [. Click to continue reading...

I've been dreaming for the great one to journey to my hometown of Portland, Oregon, for many... well, two years now. Not as a member of my club the Timbers, not in the flesh, but in 24-frames per second. Moving pictures... in the hyper-reality of cinema... in the celluloid guise of the brilliant film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait. Click to continue reading...
