‘Footplay’ movie under construction

March 31, 2009 | 5:56 am 1

By George Tanner

Folks, InsideMNSoccer.com, one of the friends of this Web site, would like to share something.

The film is called Footplay, which is a documentary of Luke and Gwendolyn, two former college soccer stars who couldn’t quite make it to the pros. Now in their mid-20s and working 9-5 jobs, the two soccer has-beens decide they aren’t ready to quit the game. They take off around the globe, exploring the other, less glorified side of soccer: pickup games, impromptu contests that happen anywhere and between anyone. From prisoners in Bolivia to moonshine brewers in Kenya, from the futevolie tricksters of Brazil to Chinese monks who play in their traditional robes, Footplay follows Luke and Gwendolyn’s adventures around the world and the people they meet through the game.
