个人觉得这是有点过於乐观的期待 毕竟竞争对手之一的Man Utd才刚拿下去年的Premiereship冠军 今年暑假又才过去美国踢了几场比赛 他们在美国的知名度比喜鹊大多了 最近才加入竞争战局的Chelsea也不可小觑 他们的俄国富商老板所展现的经济实力跟执行力让人咂舌 反观我们,虽然去年拿下第三名 不过今年一开赛以来的表现实在让人心碎 更别说失去欧冠的比赛资格跟上千万英镑收入了 不过如果真的能获选为拍片的球队的话 不但对喜鹊在美国的知名度有帮助 可怕的电影周边商品利益对球队真的是一笔可观的收入 现在就看赞助厂商Adidas的影响力是否真的能够决定最後获选的队伍了 http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/eveningchronicle/eveningchronicle/content_objectid=13374063_method=full_siteid=50081_headline=-Newcastle%2Dfavourite%2Dto%2Dnet%2Dfilm-name_page.html Newcastle favourite to net film Sep 5 2003 By Owen Mcateer, The Evening Chronicle Magpies skipper Alan Shearer could be lifting an Oscar as the club's next trophy after it emerged Newcastle United are now favourites to land a starring film role. It was reported earlier this year that the club were among those vying to be considered for the ￡15 million Hollywood blockbuster Goal. Despite football still being a minority sport in the USA, Los Angeles-based film makers believe they can cash in on the billions of people around the world who religiously follow it. After originally going head-to-head with Manchester United for the role of the club the main character plays for, Everton and Chelsea have now also emerged as late contenders. But today sources in Zurich, Switzerland, home of football's world governing body Fifa, revealed Newcastle was their preferred choice. Fifa has a hand in the project and is believed to be keen to see Newcastle win through as their kit manufacturer Adidas is one of the governing body's official sponsors. The film, being made by Hollywood producer Lawrence Bender, responsible for hits such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, will give prominence to the brand of the chosen club, especially in merchandising. If Newcastle United are successful it could also give them a high profile in the US. Last month Newcastle United chief Douglas Hall met the film's co-producer Mike Jefferies when he visited St James' Park. Goal will star Gael Garcia Bernal as a teenager from Los Angeles who uses money put aside by his parents for his education to come and be a footballer in the Premiership. A spokesman for FIFA said: "We are interested in formally supporting this project and has been in detailed discussions with the producer. However contracts have not yet been finalised. This being the case, we do not have any formal information." --
