While watching a movie it is asked of you to suspend reality, imagine all that you see IS actually possible. This way people can bounce bullets off their chest, flip upside down and shoot projectiles at their enemies. During our interview with the Director much of this was covered but in short, there was a game, Messi & Friends to be played in Soilder Field, they were short players for the game. Northwestern was reached out to for players, they came through. Some had not played in years others kept in shape, they rounded out the roster many getting the start. As luck would have it, just this happened. Matt Eliason takes a free kick from Thiery Henry off his chest, it goes a bit high, he then sends a bicycle kick screaming past the surprised goalkeeper. Sportcenter highlight film and excitement around the player ensues, he winds up in Iceland playing pro. Want to learn more, see the movie. Our facebook page soccerlongislandmagazine has pictures of those involved with the movie.
