Offside SoundOff: In Honor of the Oscars, Share Your Favorite Videos

By: Laurie | February 22nd, 2009
   

Tonight is Oscar night. What does this mean?

We think it means that it’s time to honor the people who created the Kinetograph, the first motion picture camera, by sharing links to your favorite footy-related videos in the comments. Here are three of mine. All have been posted at least once before on The Offside or World Cup Blog, but I think they deserve another shot.

First, let’s hear it for the ads that make us smile:



Second, can you say, “Sheer joy”? Or maybe it’s “totally stoned.” Whatever. I could still watch it all day. (For some reason the untied shoes just make the video for me.)


And finally, I couldn’t do a tribute to footy videos without including a tribute video, could I?

Now it’s your turn. Give us links to your favorite video and tell us why you love it. We’ll post some of your favorites later this week. (And while you’re at it, help us build our library by sharing your favorites on our Offside video site.)

  • Marco-That would definitely be my choice for the best soccer vid.
  • Nope, best football movie ever is a German movie about an all-gay football team. It is called Guys and Balls. Absolutely hysterical.
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

    For me, it doesn't get more classic than that. Anytime I think of ONE soccer video to pick, the Nike Brazil airport ad is tattoed in my mind.
  • ha, w/o zizou and his bald head we could never have gotten thuram, nedved, or buffon.

    ...just see the pain on kahn's face as zidane scores...

    i like this video of this crazy guy trying to get del piero to speak english, towards the end he says in english "juventus will not win the championship this season" and alex gets halfway through the sentence in italian before he realizes what he is saying.

    he's...cut...arsenal...to ribbons.
  • Matt, if we're going in that direction, I will always be head-over-heels for "Bend it Like Beckham." Even if Posh does sing in the DVD outtakes.
  • How about a wee discussion on favorite football movies. The obvious winner is "Ladybugs", starring one Rodney Dangerfield.
  • Mustafa
