The English Game 42



As the end credits were rolling when I first saw The English Game and I was critiquing the series (too many dining rooms, too little football, too much Oh-how-I-wish-I-had-a-baby, too much Plight-of-the-Unwed-Mother, and sadly musing on why they make up stuff when the facts would do as well), I noticed that it came from 42 Productions. Cool!

    1. I was in it for the sports history, and that turned out not to really be the focus.

    1. I'd've liked it to focus more on the game and less on the interpersonal drama...

    Interesting that this post would appear on Major League Baseball's "Jackie Robinson Day," where everyone in uniform has Robinson's number -- 42 -- on his back.

  6. Too bad I don't have Netflix, so I'm sort of in the dark about the film and the production company. However, at least you can add another 42 to your list of those found.

    1. We watched it because of the soccer history connection. I only noticed the production company because of the 42 lol
