Even though the U.S. has lost to Ghana
and is out of the running for the World Cup, some of us Desketeers are still in the throes of World Cup Madness.
So, our Cirque de Cinema pick of the week is the original Fever Pitch starring Colin Firth.
Paul is a teacher and rabid soccer fan living in the UK. When he meets Sarah their relationship developes along the same lines as the fortunes and misfortunes of his favorite team, the Arsenals. When the time comes for the National Championship, Arsenal finally has a chance to end its 18 year losing streak. Will Paul and Sarah be able to overcome their relationship's losing streak as well?
The fab Nick Hornby (a Front Desk Fave) , who was also responsible for About A Boy wrote the screenplay.
Though currently undecided, we think we may have to root for Brazil.
Happy Weekend!

I do enjoy Desketeers' perspectives but, sadly, have noted usage/punctuation errors in the most recent post. Examples: "throws" "it's" "18 year losing streak".
Each is the kind of mistake spell-checking software will not flag. Old-fashioned proofing is the indicated solution.
