    Maybe his dog's grandfather was from Spain. That's seems about as legit a reason as some people have.

    So OK but who is going to watch a movie about a boy from Ghana…Where in the hell is Ghana anyway?
    I dunno ask George W. if he doesn’t know we can naturalize him and say he come from the lower East side.
    Great plan, Now how about a side story about a gay Irish guy called Donovan?
    Only if he’s real pretty.
    Got just the guy…!!!

    and Wilferd Brimley as Bruce Arena?

    I mean if it's Rocky-esque and timed for the World Cup, this kids gotta get called into the national team.

    No, he'd have to play David Seaman with his Pulp Fiction era ponytail.

    Samuel L. Jackson, one of the best actors and overall coolest people on the planet, had better be involved in this project somehow. :)
     
  8. Never mind the cast or story details.

    What I want to know is... will BigSoccer.com be mentioned in the movie???

    Of course, where do you think they find this player? Some BigSoccer poster starts raving about him.

    Well after reading the article, I now know why the Burn are struggling.

    Producer Mike Jefferies said: "No one has ever made a big soccer movie. Up until now we have had small parochial stories, and no one has used real star players the way we will."

    Come on Jeffries pick a career. If you don't want to coach the Burn anymore then move on so the team can start winning again ; )

    yeah, I think it showed when in "Escape to Victory", rather than use star players they had to rely on unknown amateurs like Pele, & Bobby Moore.

    Peeing myself.

    If there's a USNT tie-in in the movie, how about:

    DMB=Chris Tucker
    Reyna=John Leguiziamo
    Mathis=Chris Farley
    JOB=the Curley-haired buddy-dude from the 70's show

    Not a racial slur. Just poking fun at the guy above's casting choices (ie., Chris tucker as DMB b/c 'all black people look the same.' sorry if you dont get that, you are lucky to be around intelligent people who don't feel that way then).
    Sigh. I feel misunderstood. Like Mr. Cam or something. :eek:

    I know Tarantino is a huge Shaolin Soccer(Kung Fu soccer when miramax/dimension films releases it here) so will the gameplay be like that movie(harness and wires outrageous-but fun- choreography ) or a bit more practical.

    Given his past history, my guess is the endlines will be made of cocaine, guns will be prominently featured, and there should be a high body count.

    and JackRabbit Slims will do the concessions.

    Yeah. Just like True Romance. Doesn't generally mean a thing once the cameras start rolling.

    Rodriguez went out of his way to shoot that one in a Quentin style though, at least the first half of the film.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of both of those guys, but writing is one thing, and directing is another.
