Last week I saw the German movie "Das Wunder von Bern" which is a movie about the first world soccer championship that the Germans won after the second world war (1954 I believe). The story is more one of hope and inspiration as this victory (against the huge favorites at that time Hungary) was the first real event that the Germans could draw inspiration from after the war... almost like their own TSN turing point. The audio is famous throughout all of Germany much in the same way all Canadians will always remember the words "Henderson takes a wild stab at it... Henderson shoots, he scores! Henderson"!

This is a cool recreation of the game using Lego minatures, very funny and it even uses the original commentary. Very cool. The movie was incredible by the way, if you get a chance to check it out (either here in Germany or maybe at the indie theatre in Canada) I would highly suggest you do.
