For the first time on this channel, we talk about soccer with Bend it like Beckham!

Parminder Nagra and a pre-stardom Keira Knightley are best buddy soccer-lovers in director Gurinder Chadha's feminist flick. Clearly Bend It Like Beckham wasn't made for a couple of middle-aged Canadian men to discuss, but we were quite entertained all the same. We talked about male/female double standards (especially as it relates to scars), we talked about the strange "girl, you need a boyfriend ASAP" mandate from the parents and we talked about how a couple of those funny parents steal the whole movie.

Well, you have never heard us talk about the footie, so it's time to do that right now, innit?!

In 14 days, we'll be kicking snow in a goalie's face as we prattle on about the Russell Crowe hockey flick called Mystery, Alaska
