Something to look forward to, a film about FIFA starring Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter and Gerard Depardieu as Jules Rimet. No, I'm not joking! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24669147
I wonder who's going to play Havelange, Texeira, Bin Hammam, Warner, Fernando, and the countless other FIFA officials known to have been corrupt?

Great news, the film is out! http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/22/fifa-film-tim-roth-sepp-blatter
Havelange will be played by Sam Neil. What I wonder is who will play the englishman Stanley Rous, who supported the apartheid in South Africa and was against the internationalization of football. (he was against even having african teams in the World Cup)
there is one part of this trailer that does get my football nerd brain pretty excited, and that's those beautiful shots of the Maracanazo
I clicked on this expecting to see Escape to Victory (or Victory in North America) and was ready for a heated debate.
A new review of United Passions in the Irish Times: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soc...uth-stand-in-the-way-of-a-bad-story-1.2049992
The movie opened in the U.S. this weekend. In the first two days, Friday and Saturday, total nationwide U.S. box office was... $607 No, there is no missing zero at the end of that.
I tried downloading this movie about FIFA once, but my laptop wouldn't play the file... kept on saying it was corrupt....
