Leo Bankerson inquires: "Lately I had a conversation about films and sports. I struck me that I could think of quite a few American films with baseball- heroes, but that a European football(soccer)-equivalent doesn't seem to exist (no titles known to me). The idea that a difference in involvment might play a role led to the quickly improvised hypothesis that in the Latin-American cinema the 'football-film' might not be uncommon. Since my own knowledge of Latin-American cinema is too limited, I call on Screen-L for confirmation of rejection of the hypothesis. It's not too serious a matter, but I hope someone can shine some light on it." I'm afraid I know next to nothing about "soccer" in Latin American films, though it seems to me that Pele has had a few film roles, but for European films, I can think of two: THIS SPORTING LIFE and THE GOALIE'S ANXIETY AT THE PENALTY KICK.
