Yes. One coming this week. Thanks for checking in!
Creator Thomas Destribats on March 13
Hi, any update?
Creator Matthew Conrad on August 6, 2012
Totally understand Simon. You are absolutely right to ask for an update. My editor has just had a baby. Literally just had one. So there has been no editing for the last few weeks. We restart in earnest in a few weeks. An update it well overdue and I apologize! It will come very soon along with an interview with our newly hired assistant editor.
Creator Simon D on August 6, 2012
Matt/Paul, I'm a little concerned that we have gone 4 months without any updates whatsoever, and without any mention/receipt of rewards for backers? I don't want to be "that guy", but some of us backed quite a bit of money to help you out, and I'd be very disappointed to see my funding disappear into a black hole. C'mon, let's here some news! Obviously, I know the film will take some time, and I'm not expecting that any time soon, but an update is well overdue.
Creator Grant on April 21, 2012
Congratulations!
Creator Julie Fefferman on April 8, 2012
GOAL! So proud of you!
Creator Andrew McIntyre on April 2, 2012
They shoot, they score! Well done to all!
Creator Moggle on March 24, 2012
Congratulations!
Creator davide cerri on March 23, 2012
great.... cannot wait to see the movie now.
Creator Matthew Conrad on March 23, 2012
Thanks Maxi! Very exciting, eh? Stand by for project update.
Creator maxi on March 23, 2012
I went to bed with 5k to go, and woke up with the project fully funded!! This made my morning. Congratulations guys. Now go and make us a kick-ass film :)
Goes without saying that if there's any way I can help from the NL, I'd be honored to do so.
Creator Matthew Conrad on March 23, 2012
Thomas, the extent to which you backed this project you are getting a screening of this movie somehow some way. Thanks so so much for your support. So touching, I'm bowled over with gratitude.
Creator Thomas Billyard Leake on March 22, 2012
This is trully amazing news Matty!! What an achievement reaching the mark must be for you guys and a tribute to the effort that has been put towards making the dream come true. I can't wait to see it come through and I just hope it gets to a screen in my part of the world. If you need help during the next stages I'd be stoked to help out :) Once again congrats!!
Creator Lorna Casella on March 22, 2012
Our grandson spoke very highly of this project and said you needed help to get it finished. We see you have made your goal! Congratulations and good luck completing the project. He described working on this film as one of his life changing experiences.
From Zach Salsman's grandparents.. Lorna and Phil Casella

"And the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature goes to..." #believe Congratulations guys!
Creator Matthew Conrad on March 22, 2012
Hahah, we still have to pay the kickstarter/amazon tax so I won't stop you!
I can't thank you enough for the support you have given, mate. Honestly - you have no idea how much inspiration and all that good stuff you have given. Can't thank you enough. Oh wait, yes i can - by making the movie incredible!!
Creator Simon D on March 22, 2012
Wow, I just came home, and a couple of hours ago, there was still $5k to go. What happened? It's not THAT far to drive!! Congrats to you both Paul and Matt. That is really amazing. There I was thinking that I'd have to up my bid again - although after this I must just do that in celebration!
Creator Dave Bremner on March 22, 2012
Upped the pledge - just in time to see the goal reached!!! Well done guys.
Creator Beth Ann Corr on March 19, 2012
Here's another Corr that can't wait to see the finished product!

Creator Christine Corr on March 10, 2012
Couldn't stop laughing while reading the book on the commuter train last week!
Now can't wait for the movie.

Creator Matthew Conrad on March 7, 2012
Don't worry Simon. Plenty of landmarks left to go and plenty of opportunities to be a hero! Again.
Creator Simon D on March 7, 2012
Matt, see what happens when you want credit (and deliberately do something), you don't get it!? I upped my bid and Dave gets my prize. I'm hurt, more than I have been these past 2 weekends of results! :(
Creator Joshua Sheetz on February 29, 2012
Looking forward to reading the book and seeing this film.
Creator Roy Fu on February 27, 2012
only cos i love you, Matty :D
Creator Matthew Conrad on February 24, 2012
LOVE TO HEAR THAT!!!
Creator Chris Wilkinson on February 24, 2012
Just finished the book had to get involved. Brilliant work from all involved.
Creator Matthew Conrad on February 24, 2012
Thanks Marc, that's fantastic! Really appreciate the help...
Creator Marc Silverstein on February 24, 2012
I just posted your project on both the forums on bigsoccer.com under Oceania and also on usldiscussions.com, under media, I wish you guys lots of good luck!
Creator Simon D on February 14, 2012
I'm sure a retweet from David Baddiel would help (I see they are following him)! Maybe some of his cash too! I just think this is too good of a story to pass up. I'm heading back to the UK this weekend for a few weeks, and ordered the book on Amazon.co.uk to be delivered here. I then got impatient and bought the Kindle edition just so I could read it on the plane!
I did hear that non-US folks sometimes had trouble pledging funds due to Amazon Payments not accepting foreign credit cards all the time. Not sure if that is hampering things, as lets face it, I'm guessing most of the funding will probably come from the UK?
Creator Kieran Beech on February 14, 2012
I also felt disappointed the opportunity was missed, shame, but the show is more about comedy and at least the importance of getting the story out there to a wider football auidence was done, Paul did well in that sense and handled being on the couch superbly.
Being trying my best to plug the project, the book has got me really challenging my views on how I see the modern game and the people in charge of it are, not that I ever liked them much anyway.
Sadly though my local media outlet Football Heaven seem to be so full of themselves they can't be bothered to even retweet about the project, I do have a cunning plan though I'll tweet them at least twice a day till one does. Did manage to get a Sheffield United player to plug the project once though.
Creator Simon D on February 11, 2012
I don't blame you! But the spot was very funny and in keeping with the show, so well done to the lads. I have to say though Matt, you've gone up in my estimations even more, you're a Spurs supporter! At this rate, I'll be doubling my pledge! :) Just to let you know, I've put a couple of very cheeky plugs on your book reviews for Amazon (co.uk and com). They'll probably be taken down due to a violation of T&C's, but hopefully people will see them. If you see them, and have an Amazon account, my advice would be to click on the "Yes, this review was helpful" link to keep it at the top of the list. I don't really do Twitter or Facebook, but I'll try my best at shameful plugs, in any other way I can for guys!
Creator Matthew Conrad on February 11, 2012
I am going to kill Paul, simple as that. See forthcoming Kickstarter Update for details.
Creator Simon D on February 11, 2012
Just watched the YouTube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch…
Where was the plug for Kickstarter!? You could have made your goal in about 10 minutes if you had mentioned the film. Selfishly disappointed, as I REALLY want to watch this! :)
Creator Simon D on February 9, 2012
Best of luck on Soccer AM guys! I hope this kick starts your funding! (see what I did there?!) I've now got the bug for funding awesome projects like this. Damn you Internets!! Now I need to go off a find a suitable picture for inclusion on your website......Hmm......
