The Lowest Ranked Teams Show How It Should Be Done
You would not get World Cup stars playing just for the hell of it Tired of the World Cup? Why not take a look at how football used to be played between countries. Not for the winning but for the sheer love of the game and the chance to meet new people and make new friends. Now you have a chance to discover the forgotten side of football this year and find true inspiration before the actual World Cup final in South Africa. Football fans in Glasgow and Edinburgh can head to the Glasgow Film Theatre or the Edinburgh Filmhouse to see a delightful, funny and uplifting film which tells the story of one of the most memorable games never played in the World Cup. On June 20th 2002, while Germany were lining up against Brazil in Japan, another final took place between the two lowest ranking national teams on earth: the little known Kingdom of Bhutan in South Asia and Montserrat in the Caribbean. Scoring happiness, cultural sympathy and a faulty loudspeaker were more important than the thought of glory and product placement. The film captures the most basic of concept of the beautiful game; enjoyment. Play the game - watch the game - enjoy the game “Football as it used to be, should be and, in most of the world, at the grassroots, probably still is” The IndependentThe flim plays in Glasow on 7 July and in Edinburgh on 8 July 2010 For Glasgow tickets, book online at www.gft.org.uk or call 0141 332 6535For Edinburgh tickets, book online at www.filmhousecinema.com or call 0131 228 2688 Tickets £6.90/£5.20.
