    The Two Escobars

    Watched this last night here in the States on ESPN. A must see documentary.


    'Born in the same city in Colombia with the same last name, Andres Escobar and Pablo Escobar shared a fanatical childhood love for soccer. Andres grew up to become one of Colombia's most beloved players, while Pablo rose through the ranks of the criminal underground to become not only the most notorious drug baron of all time, but also the secret weapon responsible for Colombian soccer's unprecedented rise to glory. But just when Colombia was expected to win the World Cup and transform its image on the international stage, the mysterious murder of Andres Escobar dashed the hopes of a nation. Fifteen years later, the film investigates the secret marriage of crime and sport, and uncovers the surprising connections between the murders of Andres and Pablo.'

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Watched some of this recently, unreal stuff but something which has been highlighted for years.

    I watched that one also and it was excellent. It's called 'Which Way Home'.

    "The Beckoning Silence". About mountain climbing but goes in depth on the story on Toni Kurz who lost his life trying to scale the North Face of the Eiger mountain. You can watch it on youtube.

    I really enjoyed "Magnus" on Netflix. Story of Magnus Carlsen, Norwegian chess prodigy.

    Outside of getting onto a proxy can anyone point me in the direction of ESPN 30for30s. It's beyond silly that they are so hard to find.

    Oh aye. They are a pain enough to get hold of too.

    Found decent ones on Amazon after I posted but it has always struck me as strange how hard it was to watch them.
