As FIFA descends upon the city in a celebration for men’s soccer teams from around the world, let’s hear some commotion for women in sport!
Whether you’re a soccer fanatic, or if your idea of watching sports is a queer-coded adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night starring Amanda Bynes in boy drag, you’ve come to the right place.
When the girls soccer team at Viola’s school is cut, she does what any girl would do–impersonates her twin brother Sebastian at a neighbouring school to try out for the boys team. She may not start off as the star player, but the other boys don’t have to balance practice, debutante luncheons and hiding her crush on her hot roommate (Channing Tatum) all while wearing a wig 24/7.
Arrive early to receive a complimentary soccer cookie by Smudges n Sears. First come first serve while supplies last.
