    What Film have you just watched!

    Really? I knew nothing of baseball when I saw it (and I don't mean "just not a fan", I mean I didn't actually know how the thing's played) and I liked it quite a lot. Can't say how much I missed on account of having no background in baseball, but what I did get and enjoyed was stuff that's...

    What Film have you just watched!

    I loved the first one contrarily to all the critics who were bitching about it. Would you say this one's quite similar in style or a different kind of film?

    What Film have you just watched!

    I was on the fence before last week. Really glad I ended up seeing it. I just wasn't sure about a whole movie set in space with just two characters up there, which has been praised mostly for its visuals, suspense and acting. The trailers did nothing for me, and the few reviews I've read made me...

    Danny Graham's Destiny.

    How about out of match form & match confidence ? He's been out for five months. Coming back from that to a 14 minutes EPL debut (actually, a debut in any European top flight league for him) isn't a guarantee he'll have instant impact, especially since he didn't really get service during those 14...

    Danny Graham's Destiny.

    Players don't move out of Egypt half as easily as from other African countries. In Gedo's case, there was interest from EPL clubs after the ACON in 2010 but he didn't have the required percentage of participation with the national team then, as he had just debuted with Egypt at that...

    O/T Top 10 Sports Films.

    Warrior and Win Win are two that haven't been mentioned yet. The latter isn't 100% a sports movie but it's a significant part of the plot. Anyway, it's a nice little movie.

    International Break Thread

    7-3 on aggregate actually. We're always incredibly unlucky when it comes to World Cup qualifications. This time, with most of our players being local-based, no league at home since June (it started and stopped twice throughout qualifiers), and our team going through a rebuilding phase, we still...

    What Film have you just watched!

    I don't know what specific holes you have in mind but there are many parts in this film where the lack of specificity is actually intentional and serves a purpose. My guess is some of that stuff is where you had issues. In my opinion, the screenplay Oscar was well deserved because it managed...

    Gedo Projected to Start Against Ghana

    CanadaTiger, a couple of corrections... Gedo was on for Kahraba after 40 minutes at LWF. Zaki (CF) came off at 62' at which time Gedo became CF. Fathi played DMF/CMF for 56 minutes then came off. Both Fathi and Gedo had great games, especially Fathi. Gedo had looked poor last week in a friendly...

    Gedo

    Ah you know what? We looked like we could score 3 or 4 in the first half alone. It ended 1-0 partly due to some rushed final touches from us and partly due to poor refereeing. Ghana spent the entire match defending, used incredible time-wasting, injury-faking tactics which with any decent...

    Awaking the beast...

    And why would any Egyptians care for (let alone heartily follow & support, let alone take interest in a name change issue for) Hull City anymore than they would for Swansea or Norwich say, if not because we have players in your team? And how exactly does that make us "bandwagoners" seeking...

    Tottenham v Hull City - League Cup

    Wasn't he Hull's best player vs. Chelsea?

    Tottenham v Hull City - League Cup

    I honestly think Hull's defensive performances are excellent. Tottenham's two goals were just two odd moments of class.
