When we're not watching the footie, we love nothing better than kicking back with an industrial
sized bucket of popcorn and criticising the hell out of the latest offerings from Hollywood. We
were therefore thrilled when a "Movie Titles To Describe Your Sex Life" thread broke out on Twitter
yesterday.
Congratulations to Menomonee Falls' Kurt Windbiel, the winner of our "Rise and Shine: The
Jay DeMerit Story" contest.
Windbiel fared the best in predicting the recent U.S. men's national team matches and won the
grand prize: a DVD of the documentary along with a t-shirt and poster from the movie's theatrical
release.
Jay DeMerit worked his way up from Bay Port High School all the way to the Premier League
and the U.S. national team – his incredible tale was turned into a documentary, "Rise and Shine:
The Jay DeMerit Story."
Now you can win a DVD of the movie, a t-shirt and a poster from the theatrical release from
Wisconsin Soccer Central.
On a weekday night early on in Watford's Premier League season of 2006-'07, I stood on a street
corner in North London and told Jay DeMerit his story was remarkable."It would have ended perfectly
if you'd been picked for the World Cup," I joked. "But seriously, have you thought about writing a
biography?

With his biographical film premiering in the UK on January 17th, we figured now was the best
time to have a chat with USMNT/Vancouver Whitecaps footballer turned movie star, Jay DeMerit.
Needless to say, we had a great time grilling Jay until he was visibly uncomfortable.

Who among us can listen to those words of Ian Darke and not get goosebumps? Well, that is some
ice water indeed flowing through your veins if that does not describe you.
The USL Premier Development League has existed since 1995 as the highest amateur soccer level in
the United States. The name was changed and tweaked early on but by the time the Chicago Fire
entered a team into the league in 2001, it was referred to as what it is referred to today: PDL.
Chicago became the first Major League Soccer team to have a PDL team thanks to support from former
Fire President & General Manager Peter Wilt and the direction of current Fire Player Development
Director & Consultant John Dorn.
You know we had to go with this.
Preston Zimmerman opened a can of worms. Pandora's box. He let the cat out of the bag. Choose your

The Jay DeMerit Story is the true story of a young American's impossible journey. The film
documents Jay's journey from the bottom - to playing in the English Premier League - to starting
for the U.S.A. at the 2010 World Cup. Featuring World Cup footage and cameos from family, coaches,
and stars including Landon Donovan, Wayne Rooney, Cesc Fabregas and more.
Rise and Shine is the story of Jay Demerit and his rise to professionalism. I've both reviewed the
film and interviewed Jay and still I'm inspired by the story. There is so much to offer fans in
watching the film. I wanted to make a personal plea for you the readers to look into it and support
the cause.

Last week ussoccer.com headed to the Chicago Premiere of Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit
Story.
With around 300 tickets sold, the AMC River East in Chicago had one of the biggest crowds in the
country. The atmosphere in the theater was amazing, and everyone seemed to enjoy the film.

You may have read ussoccer.com's interview with Jay DeMerit where the U.S. MNT defender talked
about the upcoming movie "Rise and Shine: The Story of Jay DeMerit." We asked Jay about the process
of making the movie and what it was like to put his story on the big screen. In 2010 ussoccer.com
did its own pieces with Jay DeMerit, jetting over to England to spend time with Jay and visit some
of the places where he built his career.
Rise and Shine is a documentary about the amazing story of Green Bay, Wisconsin native, Jay
DeMerit. I think most everyone knows DeMerit's story by now. The kid who played soccer for the
University of Illinois at Chicago wasn't drafted by MLS so he flew to England and started playing
for a seventh-tier side.

By Clemente Lisi – NEW YORK, NY (Oct 31, 2011) US Soccer Players -- The journey of how Jay
DeMerit rose from a pub player to starting at the last World Cup is coming to a theater near you.
After spending the year successfully raising money to secure the rights to use footage of DeMerit
playing in England and at the World Cup, the documentary "Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" will

Recently I was given the privilege of viewing "Rise and Shine: The Jay Demerit Story". I knew the
basic premise of the story; however once I saw the film I was that much more in awe. Perhaps what I
found most impressive is that it's one that is not over. Demerit continues to work hard and
persevere. His story touches many around him and gives a fantastic testament of what hard work and
motivation can do.

After viewing a film like "Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" it's hard not to be emotional.
The tale is one of intrigue and inspiration that will serve as motivation for young athletes all
over the country. Make no mistake this is a real movie; with production value and a true story.
It's clear that those involved all believed in the message and the love they had for Jay is clear
as well.

And now the US will embark for Europe in early-mid November for friendlies against France and

commitments, the US finds itself challenged by two vastly different systems and talent levels.

On September 24th D.C. United had an impressive showing against a somewhat second team squad of

The Black and Red seemed poised to make a strong playoff push down the stretch of the 2011 MLS

The Vancouver Whitecaps had the look of a team intent on winning their final game at Empire
Field, their MLS home during their inaugural season in the league. The Seattle Sounders looked like
a team doomed to be punished by a terrible start and an inspired opponent.
Unfortunately for the Whitecaps, they could only manage a single goal during their early-game
domination, which allowed the Sounders to recover from their slow start to rattle off three goals
and post a convincing 3-1 victory on Saturday night.
