His family were big Liverpool supporters. However, his real love is hockey and the Toronto Maple Leafs, which is why he tends to talk about that game more. Maybe, if Toronto had a top flight soccer team he will most likely support them instead of an American team.

Ok, let's look at this:
1. Mike Myers is a soccer fan.
2. Verne Troyer (aka mini-me) is a soccer fan. (there's a thread on this)
Soooo....
Austin Powers 4: From MLS with Love.
Dr. Evil and Mini-Me could create a soccer league with no SSS, single entity and a paltry TV contract.
Enter Austin Powers to save the day and thwart the evil-doers. Groovy, baby.

There you go!
What team(s) do Verne Troyer/Mini-Me/Mini-Austin follow, if anyone knows? Since he is a recognized icon, the league could try to have him for marketing.
Myers might be difficult to get, but Troyer by recognition alone would be good for the pop-culture crowd.
Cheers!

DC will take Vern as a striker if the deal for Gazza falls through. Imagine the attendance boost that would give. :D

The only thing left to figure out is how Beyonce Knowles gets whacked at the beginning and who plays her replacement. Posh Spice would be the obvious choice, but, as Austin would say, "she's rancid, baby!"

MLS should truly try to utilize some of the star power that likes soccer to make a real celebrity all-star game. We have Mike Myers, Jessica Biel, Samuel Jackson, call in a few local celebrities (local news people) and a few Women's National Team players and MLS stars and we have something that MTV might be worthy of airing.

Duh! It was for an American audience, not a British one.
The show also "aired" on espn2!

...Just wonder if there are any soon to be BIG American-born film stars out there who have (a)played youth soccer for 8 years (b) follow a MLS or foreign club (c) watched as much of the recent World Cup as most of us did and (D) will organize pickup games on the set of their movies?
Name that actor and let's be sure that his films are box office winners.
Like any of us are REALLY going to line up to see an Andrew Shue movie.

Did anyone else notice that in Scottish Soccer Hooligan Weekly that the Scottmen in the sketch were wearing English team's kits, scarfs, and English posters were on the wall behind them. No Rangers or Celtic.
but anyway, "If it's not Scottish, its crap!"
If I remember correctly, the scarfs the two guys wore were for Spurs and Arsenal . . . which is pretty funny in its own way, even if it's not Rangers and Celtic.

From what I have heard if you had gone to Dartmouth the same time as her brother, there is a good chance you would have seen her naked during one of her visits.

I recently saw Myers on "Inside the Actors Studio" on Bravo where he was demonstrating his tap-dancing skills. Afterwards he said it would have been better if he wasn't wearing his indoor soccer shoes.
BTW, I don't think there are any Scottish Soccer Hooligans. Aren't Scottish fans rather well-behaved?
Right?

Except when they're making airplane gestures at Claudio Reyna.
