OT: American Football Coach, Coaching Soccer [video]
Turns out this is about a year old, but it showed up in my facebook today and gave me a pretty hearty laugh.
Jason Sudeikis plays the stereotypical American football coach, out of his element, perfectly.
Given that this blog has a pretty big cross-section of football fandom (obviously) and soccer followers as well, and the timing with the World Cup coverage, I thought this would be worth sharing for a quick laugh for everyone.

This was NBC's add when they acquired the Premier League a couple years ago.
It's matched by a video -- I can't find it, someone else post? -- of an English announcer pretending to be covering the super bowl, when it's really a college football game. Outrageously funny. On a fake handoff to the running back: "He shows him the ball but the chap doesn't want it" (or somethign like that). So the yuck-yucks go both ways.
Here's the British guy calling "the Semifinals" (actually ND v Alabama two years ago).

Sample: "Looks like they're playing Note-ra-Dame. Ooooh, a French team. I wonder if they know what they're up against."
"Manchester United. uper rich, everybody either loves them or hates them."
"Dallas Cowboys"
"Liverpool. Used to be really good, haven't won a title in a really long time"
"Also Dallas Cowboys"
Apologies to Cowboys fans on the blog, but I did laugh out loud there.
I've seen the little 30 second commercials on NBC Sports, but never the full length version. Thanks for the laugh.
My youth team was coached by a football coach for a few years and we beat everyone because we ran them all over and were in better condition than other teams. With that said, though, we stopped winning when we reached the age when finesse because a larger part of the equation.

Thank you Carlos Spicyweiner for that informative take.
As a Tottenham fan I both love and hate it, love because they used my team, hate because it shows Gareth Bale still as a Spur and I miss that Welsh magician.
This post has nothing to do with good Midwestern twinkly emo. Appalled
Is that another country?
Yes and no!
