>For those of you livinhg overseas, England managed to win a football match
against the Germans last week..............

Universal Pictures announced today they plan to make a film of the momentous
football match that took place on Saturday 2nd September 2001.

"Five-One" is the tentative title of what could be next year's big summer
hit, depicting the American national soccer team's stunning victory over
Germany.

Nicholas Cage heads an all star cast as the captain of the brave US Soccer
team haunted by the trauma of losing in the 2000 World Cup final on
penalties and the death of his wife in a riot caused by English football
hooligans, and finds love in the arms of a female sports journalist played
by Julia Roberts.

Mel Gibson is the no-nonsense Swedish coach who leads them to glory, with
Keanu Reeves, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Will Smith playing some of Cage's
heroic team mates. Jeremy Irons is set to star as Sir Nigel
Villiers-Smythe, the dastardly Englishman who coaches the German team and
forces them to play with poisoned-tipped studs to try and cheat the heroic
American team out of victory.

Director Steven Spielberg defended the film-makers' decision to focus on the
American contribution to the victory over Germany and inaccurate and even
imagined events in the story, saying, "Obviously we've had to take some
artistic licence to make the story work on film, but I hope that what we
produce will be true to the spirit of what happened on that famous night."

i'd be surpised if the yanks would keep the 5-1 title, they'd struggle to sit through a sports movie with only 6 "points" scored. Maybe 52-1 might work.

and where would it be without a role for our Vinnie, idealy one where it seems like he'll be mixing it with real stars then, after some editing, it turns out hes a pitch inspector with lines like "oi mate, this pitch is bloody nasty mate, you aint playing on it mate, alright mate or i'll bloody smack you mate"

I thought Sly Stallone would audition for the keepers role again, and it would be a game of eight 8ths for advertising reasons...

Perhaps it should be called "Undefeated 53-1" then they can shorten the title (as they do) to U53-1
