Epic Star Wars Soccer

I have made a major discovery.

The the best way to watch a soccer match is when you have queued up the Stars Wars soundtrack to play in the background.

In fact I think it's the only way anyone can watch soccer on their own for more than 15 mins.

'Course it's crucial to get the sound levels just right. You want to be able to hear a bit of the crowd and the occasional cliché from the commentators but at the same time, remember, this is soccer: it's boring.

So you need the music loud enough make it interesting. 60 - 40 in favour of the Death Star motif will do.

Seriously give it a go.

I watched a bit of the Liverpool - Wigan draw the other night to the Lord of the Rings OST. It was actually quite entertaining.

Bizzare I know: Liverpool and entertaining used in the same sentence without a shred of irony.

Nothing compares to hearing a snippets from Martin Tyler ("Dirk Kyut is making his way towards the sideline. Yes it looks like playing three games in a week is catching up with him...") to the cheerful wooden pipe led tune of Hobbiton.

After all, everything is better with tin whistles and double bassses.

So ok it's not quite the Wizard of Oz to Darkside of the Moon but seeing as it's live and you want to keep up apperances with your knowledge of the "beautiful" game, I reckon it's an alright ploy.

Ok so maybe lego Star Wars fussball is a bit too nerdy - even for me...
