Preliminary (2/26 eps)
Giant Killing implys Fighting Goliath as David. Which, you know... works beautifully in story books and happy time movies, because in the end we all just know... that everything will work out just fine...

but the authors in these stories are holding there hands over our eyes... like a filter, letting us see a beautiful side without sadness weakness or pain. In reality Goliath can crush David and really David can't throw the stone because Jill will laugh if he misses and Goliath doesn't face David alone.

This is about a man that grasps those fears about missing with the one shot that you have to live or die and shatters them completely, the one person who is able to pull together a whirlwind of broken people with crushed hopes and slandered dreams to form a cohesive unit and then enable them to be able to step forth as individuals to slaughter each members own oppressive Goliath.

Sigh ye not!! This is no novella with a mystical scandivanian Valykrie that scours society and forces the people to follow the right person unquestionably.

Giant Killing is about a leader that steps into a hostile and broken environment and chinks together the pieces through leadership, intelligence and logic. There is nothing magical about Giant Killing, it's a story that is so real that it opens your eyes so that you can actually see the depths of what is happening. The mindsets conveys more words than a thousand page essay. Every word brings meaning and every characters eye seeks hope.

To everyone in this story the main character is the main character. He is the larger than life Hero that this tiny world is revolving around and he is shaking the foundations of a once miserable soccer society bringing change against the odds, adding kindling to the hearts of the former believers, and starting the fire to establish one roaring inferno of a soccer team.

There is no clear cut ending, there will be tragedy before victory and death before life. There will be shattered dreams, crushed ego's and a persistence to carry through and fight on. I hope it never ends.

Don't miss a single astounding episode

I love it.
