Tuesday's Column: The Damned United

100 Percent Soccer 06 October @ 09:35 AM EST

Read the column here.

(Sadly the wit and wisdom of Brian Clough - or at least my attempted tribute to it in the last line of that column is apparently lost on the copy editors here; it should read "the top one," singular, not plural).

Check out the trailer.

I had the pleasure of speaking recently with actor Michael Sheen about the film and his role as Brian Clough.

Bull Fighting Y Futbol Para Ti?

Futbolita 18 September @ 10:05 PM EST

This has nothing to do with Ramos The Raver but the promotional video for Sony's Twilight Football tournament (again nothing to do with that horrid film) propped up and reminded us yet again of the Madrid defender. Yes, ya'll know he can do the flamenco for real.

ITV-Sonyheart Review

SoccerLens 22 June @ 11:19 AM EST

England has a lot to look forward these days when it comes football. With the senior squad all but assured a place in next year's World Cup and the U-21's playing Germany in the European Championships' semi-final round, it's safe to say things couldn't be going better at the moment.

The coverage regarding the national squad and the Premier League around the country comes at a feverish pace that sometimes leaves many of us overwhelmed by the number of stories floating around the internet.

Kaka Plays ‘The Incredible Game’

The Offside 21 May @ 11:00 AM EST
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention back in the day but it seems a new fad is to hire famous directors with unique styles - Guy Ritchie for one - to make pint-sized movies into commercials.

Kaka in a zoetrope

Soccerblog 21 May @ 01:45 AM EST

I had to look that up."A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures. The term zoetrope is from the Greek words zoe, "life" and trope, "turn". It may be taken to mean "wheel of life" or "living wheel.".
What was Kaka doing in it you may well ask?
