My name is Karim Fanous. I'm a filmmaker from Cairo, Egypt and I've been an avid Milan fan since I can remember (late 80s). One day, I hope to be able to capture the passion and elegance of this great sport on film - I don't think I've seen any films that have really managed to do that yet.

Hi mate. Why don't you start a discussion on movies in general and especially why football movies have often been a flop, and never managed to capture the sport spirit?
I would suggest you to have a look on some '80 italian comedy movies about football: they are parodies of the world of football, and among the italian crowd they are already cult movies. I think they catch, in a funny way, the hilarious face of old italian football: a player having sex with the president's wife, president going for a journey in Brazil hoping to find the new Zico but signing a donkey, coaches that have no clue how to make a team field decently, players that try to skip in every way the trainings, a team called Longobarda that tries in every way to avoid relegation.
The best of them is "L'allenatore nel pallone".
I don't want to spoil all the fun, if you manage to take a look to this material. You can enjoy them even if you don't get the dialogues: the plot is pretty simple to be followed.
