Its about time they started showing commercials and advertising this thing.

I’ve been looking forward to it for some time now. ESPNs 30 for 30 is an awesome idea and they have a ton of great film makers. I’m excited.

From espn:

The one for soccer is going to be nice, its called The Two Escobars. Synopsis after the jump

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, many believe, Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel and the Cali Cartels were largely responsible for financing and building the Colombian National soccer team into one of the world’s best. But in an early match against the United States in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, a Colombian defenseman named Andres Escobar—no relation to Pablo—committed an own goal that led to the team’s elimination. Less than ten days later, Escobar was gunned down outside a bar in a suburb of Medellin. He was shot 12 times, and the murderer shouted “goal” each time the trigger was pulled. Was Escobar’s murder an isolated incident, or were gambling organizations controlled by the cartels responsible? Award-winning director Jeff Zimbalist will examine the mysterious events leading up to and surrounding Andres Escobar’s death.
