So, I know essentially nothing about football /soccer (a fact I am sure will become immediately obvious). Maybe sift football fans can relieve some of my ignorance:

When I saw the title, I assumed that the keeper was going to launch it the distance of the pitch and score, but I see he's up with the other players.

In hockey, a team can "pull" their goalie back to the bench, allowing them to put an additional skater out on the ice in order to try to score late game-tying desperation goals like this. I guess this is the football equivalent of that?

In hockey, you can replace your pulled goalie with any skater you want (generally, they will be replaced by players with the most offensive upside or "clutch" scoring abilities). But I guess in football, maybe it has to be the goalie/keeper?

And as a followup to that last question, in hockey a goalie is not allowed to carry/touch/control the puck beyond the red (center ice) line. That rule is *almost* never actually put into effect, because there is basically no good reason for a goalie to do that. ...Unless you are (one of the alltime greats) Patrick Roy, team down by many goals with a few minutes left, upset with the lackluster effort of the team playing in front of him, and wanting to light a bit of a fire under their asses:


...Clearly didn't work out in as positive way as the football goal here (Roy didn't even know that it was a penalty to carry the puck over center ice beforehand), but a really funny quirk that happened in a game that I actually remember watching live on TV.

I have this movie on my HDD just so i can watch the opening scene in full blast, the audio is incredible, the song, the car and the athmosphere... Easily one of alltime top10 opening scenes.

Thanks for the education - but now you've ruined all future movies for me...
I didn't even get to choose between the blue pill or the red pill

Yes of course I don't like the colors.
It's not only because the original Tron was BLUE vs RED. But also because every film coming out the last five years or so has done the overused bullshit Orange and Teal color grading nonsense.
Look, before a film is in the can, it goes through a color correction process done on a multi-million dollar machine called a Davinci, with a colorist controlling the whole thing. This process is used to do corrections on bad saturation levels, making sure teeth aren't yellow, and making sure skies are blue. It's also used to heavily influence color, do tricks, and re-color shots in creative ways.
But, lately the directors have been going nuts with ORANGE & TEAL. Don't believe me?

This is the color-grading equivalent of a photoshop lens flare.
I've done massive amounts of telecine/divinci color correction sessions, and have worked as a color designer for many many years. Color is my specialty, and is the biggest reason why I ever get hired on projects. So when I see one of my favorite feature films of alltime being shit on by the easy hollywood hack system, I get a little offended.

HEY EVERYONE!!

TWO GUYS WERE DOUCHEBAGS>>> ALL GOVERNMENT MUST BE DESTROYED!!

Is volumptuous just a troll now? Being that it was more than a dozen police, and no one is advocating the destruction of government but him? Should he be on a watch list?


I see two asshole cops out of about ten.

Two were being total assholes, and should probably be fired. The others were there as "backup" or probably because they were super bored.

But if you understood the sentiment behind my comment, you'd realize I'm just pointing out that using terms like "government goons" and "brownshirts" (Godwin's law in the tags of the video? This must be an alltime first for Videosift) is just way over-the-top ridiculous, but is once again used by BF to show how if two douchebag cops are douchebags, that must mean the entire system of governance in this country should be dismantled.

Duh.

Its quite possible to organize, don't be such a pessimist. We have been in seriously shitty situations before, but we did it, even if only for a moment.

It starts in your communities. It starts in REAL relationships not defined by capital. It starts it making people aware of their own power, that they don't have to take this shit anymore. I'm organizing in ATL. What are YOU doing? People should be in the streets, this is true. But this isn't Latin america. Its the United Statutes of selling caskets. Its the conglomeration of cities where people are their cubicles. Alienation has reached its alltime high from Capitalism.

But we must fight, my comrades. We must be organized. Why? If not for liberty, solidarity, equality, love. Do it because even if you lose, it is the only honorable thing left in this world

Yep, not him. One of my alltime favourites.

Go see him if you ever get the chance. Great music when played incredibly loud . He's one of my alltime faves.

Jesus Fuck this band was so amazing. They were the soundtrack to my teens...smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night. While this album was stellar, Paul's Boutique is my #1 favorite hiphop album of alltime.

Too bad they now sound like a parody of themselves.

Great video, worth 100 upvotes.

btw: AWESOME avatar!

One of my alltime favorite bands.

I really like your avatar. What is it supposed to be?

Thanks!

It's one of Takashi Murakami's creations. He's one of my alltime favorite artists.

I really hope Mittens gets picked for McPOW's veep. The surreality show that is McCain's campaign will reach an alltime high.

Choggie, you're on a freakin' roll today! whoop whoop!!

One of my alltime favorite music vids. Great song off a really good album too.
