Forget The Footie And Frequent The Flicks
If you’re in London and you can’t stand the idle time between the Jamaica friendly and next week’s actual World Cup matches, you might want to check out The Kicks N Flicks film festival, a large-ass selection of footie-themed films at the Curzon cinemas in rustic Soho.

The other day I saw one of the worst footie movies EVER!!!! It is called Victory and has the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Pele starring in it…here is the official description.
“A group of P.O.W.s at a German prison camp agree to compete against Nazi soccer players in this World War II drama set in 1943 Occupied Europe. German Major Karl von Steiner, who played soccer professionally before the war, comes up with the idea. When his superior officers find out about the competition, they pit the Allies against Germany’s best team — but they don’t realize that the P.O.W.s plan to use the upcoming big game as a means of escaping. The Allied team includes John Colby, a British officer who also played soccer before the war, and Robert Hatch, an American soldier who cares far more about gaining his freedom than the game itself. When the P.O.W.s realize they have a good shot at beating the Nazi team in front of a huge crowd, they must decide what’s more important: finishing the match or getting out alive.”
Awful, awful stuff.




Thanks for that Shawn!
