Oh, so it's okay to generalize, huh? Would it be fair for me to say some average kid in Brazil knows more about football than you just because he lives in the most successful footballing nation in the world? Would it be fair for me to say Belgians are just a bunch of pushover weaklings because they have been invaded so much in the past? Of course not, so dont kid yourself.
And the way statements like that are allowed is just pathetic...shows you who the ignorant ones really are.

Tokyo living would cost more than I'd make in a lifetime. And I'm not exactly living in a grass shanty on the Mekong River delta.
That said, what I really liked about that movie was that it was about the "negative spaces" (in artspeak) in life rather than the obvious ones. It was about the things that didn't happen rather than hitting you over the head with the things that did. In an era where movies are all about explosions, racing cars, or explaining the most basic plots to the retard in the back of the theater, this one didn't feel the need to be so brutally obvious.
The ending was a little unnecessary, but otherwise I thought it was a great sort of mood piece of impressions, imagery, etc.
The choice of giving Kevin Shields (of former My Bloody Valentine) the nod for the soundtrack was also a move of genius by Miss Coppola, given his lower profile in the past decade and yet his talent for creating soundscapes with musical "noise". It fit the feel of the movie.
Of course, I've experienced first-hand a lot in this movie ... the oddity of landing in East Asia on business trips and being all disoriented by time, culture, and everything else all at once. I even made some unusual relationships with people I've met while on business travel (male and female) that would certainly have never happened in any other social context.
The degree to which Sophia Coppola nailed that really impressed me. If you experience it first hand, you may appreciate how well she captured that.

My only thought watching that game was all about goalies: Antonioli versus Abbiati. I don't see Abbiati ever "winning" a game for us. His instincts of position and timing are just not there.
Meanwhile, contrast with Antonioli -- who played a stupendous game today. Milan put on the press from about the 53rd minute on. And although he let a point-blank Gila shot through at top speed (a tough one to stop no matter who the goalie), he was always in the right place at the right time to make brilliant saves on Sheva and Gila and crew whenever the double and triple teaming of the Samp defensive line broke down.
While Samp made some excellent build-ups that wreaked havoc in front of the Milan goal and lead to two quality scores, Antonioli got at least 2 points of that win for them.
Still, it was nice to see Gila break his new duck in Milan. Class act, and as he settles in I am sure we'll see great things from him to come.
A fantastic game to watch -- worthy of Novellino spitting out his chewing gum at the touch line from all the excitement.

I don't see it either, but it's an assumption you could make I guess. You'd be right in 95 percent of the cases. Of course you could be an extreme case, but you're going to need a hell of a lot of effort to be as much into football as I am for example. Not because you like it less, but because things such as tv coverage are that much less. And it's less embedded in American lifestyle as well. In Europe you speak, eat, drink and breath football whereas you wouldn't get far doing the same in America. It still was prejudice though, which is wrong no matter what.
