	Sports: Upset stirs memories of '50 Cup
		For old teammates Frank Borghi, Harry Keough and Walter Bahr, America's stunning advance to the quarterfinals brought back memories of another great victory 52 years ago.
		Borghi was the goalie and Keough and Bahr were backs on the U.S. team that stunned England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup.
		Borghi kept looking at the referee, wondering how much longer the game would last, how much longer he would have to protect the lead.

	England v United States (1950) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within ninety seconds, Stanley Mortensen sent a cross from the left wing to Roy Bentley, who let off a shot that was barely pushed aside by U.S. goalkeeper Frank Borghi.
		In the thirty-seventh minute, Walter Bahr launched a shot from twenty-five yards out, but as Williams prepared to make the save, Joe Gaetjens dove headlong and grazed the ball enough to put it past the reach of the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
		On the resulting free kick, James Mullen headed the ball for what he thought was a goal, failing to notice that Borghi had tipped it away at the last second, denying the English on their chance to tie the game.

	Hall of Fame: Where Are They Now? Frank Borghi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Frank Borghi, inducted into the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1976, says it’s a good thing he gave the goalkeeper position a try—otherwise, he thinks he never would have made it very far as a soccer player.
		Maybe he’s just being modest, but Frank claims that he lacked the ball skills necessary for a field position, and it was something of a stroke of luck that he ended up in goal one day during a kick-around session.
		Frank Borghi played in four games for the U.S. National Team during World Cup qualifying in Mexico City in 1949 as well as all three games in the finals that year.

		Three of the soccer players - Frank Borghi, Harry Keough and Gino Pariani - attended the St. Louis-area premiere with their families on Sunday.
		Frank Borghi, the team's goaltender, had a chance to catch up with the actor who played him the film, Gerard Butler, who is perhaps best known for playing the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera" film.
		Borghi said he couldn't help but think of teammates who have passed away when watching the film, but said he'd had a wonderful night, with all seven of his children in attendance.

		At the heart of the story is goalie Frank Borghi, endearingly played by Gerard Butler in the film’s finest performance.
		Borghi was among a group of early soccer devotees in an Italian-American neighborhood in St. Louis who were hitched to an East Coast squad to form the makeshift U.S. team that went to the World Cup in Brazil with barely any practice time and a snowball’s chance in the equatorial heat.
		Among Borghi’s teammates were Philadelphia hotshot Walter Bahr (Wes Bentley); Joe Gatjeans (Jimmy Jean-Louis), a Haitian-born New Yorker; and St. Louis pals Charley Colombo (Costas Mandylor), Gino Pariani (Louis Mandylor), Pee Wee Wallace (Jay Rodan) and Harry Keough (Zachery Bryan).

	The Game of Their Lives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Gerard Butler stars as the goalie and leader of the group, Frank Borghi, and if you are a fan of Gerry's, you will love his try at an Italian-American-St. Louis accent (the man also looks great in a pair of shorts).
		Bahr and Borghi are the glue that keeps the team together, and with their leadership, beat England 1-0 in a first round 1950 World Cup game.
		There are side stories as we get to know the other players - one who is afraid to fly, another who moves his wedding date to be able to go to Brazil to compete and yet another who is recruited late for the team, but is adaptable to the different styles of his teammates.

	Synopsis of MITM
		Frank's most vivid memory of his time in the Western Association was 1940 when he was still playing for the St. Joseph Angels.
		Frank, in his youthful wisdom, turned to Red Frazier and was able to utter, "I think we need to go now." Red was either totally stupid, didn't see the gun immediately, or his anger had dulled common sense because he refused to be intimidated by the gun toting fan.
		Frank was also a friend of Dizzy Dean, and they used to go out on season ticket promotions in the off season in order to attempt to bolster St. Louis Browns attendance.

	The Game of Their Lives (2005)
		Most of these players, like goalie Frank Borghi (Gerard Butler) and full back "Gloves" Colombo (Costas Mandylor) were second generation Italian-Americans from the blue-collar enclave of "the hill" in St. Louis, Missouri.
		Borghi is the voice of reason; Colombo's the hothead; and Mortensen's a snotty Brit who gets his comeuppance.
		The Scottish actor Butler (Dear Frankie) musters up a credible American accent as Borghi, as does South African-born Jay Rodan in the showy role of Frank "Pee Wee" Wallace, team loudmouth and party boy.

	The Game of Their Lives
		Although most of the players were recruited from in and around St. Louis, then the center of soccer interest in the United States, Walter Bahr (Wes Bentley), a halfback from Philadelphia emerged as the putative coach and leader of the team, even though he’s challenged by loudmouth partyboy “Pee Wee” Wallace (Jay Rodan).
		Bahr was astute enough to realize that the St. Louisians looked to goalkeeper Frank Borghi (Gerard Butler, fresh from his starring role as The Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “The Phantom of the Opera”) as their emotional leader, so he enlisted Borghi as sort of a co-leader.
		Bahr induced Borghi to accompany him to recruit Joe Gaetjens (Jimmy Jean-Louis), a Haitian-born kitchen worker, an inspirational player Bahr was convinced would make the team competitive (and who scored the only goal in the game).

		As he talked of the days gone by, he remembered a philosophy back then that sadly, like many things lost through the sands of time, has started to die in the sport.
