SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Robin Williams never did a real sports movie, but he had a fantastic sports fan moment in "Good Will Hunting" that I thought was amazing (0:45-2:24 of this scene):

Germany beat Brazil 5-1 yesterday in the Women's U20 World Cup.
I think it's about time the UN stepped in on this one before the Germans annex Brasilia.
