With the World Cup taking over our televisions, and kind of our lives, it got us thinking about some of our favorite soccer movies. As much as we love the live action and the unpredictability of the winner, we certainly love seeing the choreographed plays and happy endings of the soccer movies. If you have watched all of the World Cup Soccer matches for the day and you still want more soccer, watch one of our top five soccer movie picks from the list below!
5. Ladybugs. When a coach is trying to make his helpless girls soccer team become league champions, he recruits his girlfriends son to help train his team. But instead of just teaching the girls, the coach persuades the young boy to dress like a girl and play with them. Will the coach ever reveal the true identity of the soccer star, or keep the secret in order to win?...

This week's clip joint rifles through the record collection to find the best scenes with characters forced to face the music
This week's Clip joint is by James Kipping, a freelance floor runner for film and television. Think you can do better? Email your idea for a future Clip joint to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
Diegetic music in film is often heard in clubs scenes or car radios, creating atmosphere but rarely having the power to affect characters. So going for the most despondent Clip joint award, here are a selection of films that feature recurring songs that haunt our characters, songs that bring either painful memories or strike fear in others that hear them. The positive note being that I like to think these characters enjoyed the songs at some point in their lives…

Not necessarily a great starting point for a franchise, but hey, these are desperate times, and so Paul W.S. Anderson has reportedly started development on a prequel. Tony Giglio (Chaos, Timber Falls, Soccer Dog: The Movie) will write the script based on a story idea by Anderson, and may also direct as well. The prequel will focus on the back story of the masked driver Frankenstein, who was played by Jason Statham. However, since Frankenstein is essentially a persona that can be taken on by anyone wearing the mask, I am guessing they're referring to the origin of the "legend" rather than Statham's character specifically.
