About

Todd Lamansky graduated from USC’s world-renowned School of Cinematic Arts, where he earned a B.A. in Critical Studies while double majoring in Creative Writing. He had already penned dozens of scripts, treatments, songs, and poems over the course of his decade-long career in the entertainment industry when a job at the Fox Soccer Channel inspired him to write his first book, REAL FOOTBALL: AN AMERICAN’S GUIDE TO SOCCER, for which he is currently seeking a publisher.

In the meantime, he would love to coach a teenage soccer team in the event that anyone in cyberspace is looking for one.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    David Beckham, Clint Dempsey, George Brett, Ozzie Smith, Mike Rucker

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    US MNT, Chivas USA, Fulham, Man U, St. Louis Cardinals, USC

  • Favorite Coaches

    Pete Carroll, Don Tabor (RIP)

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    2007 SuperLiga Finals when Chris Klein scored the equalizer for LA Galaxy with a bicycle kick in 93rd minute (unfortunately, Pachuca won 4-3 on PK's). A close second is the semi-final match prior to that, where I witnessed David Beckham score his first goal in the US.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Pac-10, baby (Fight On, USC!)...but I still have love for the Big 12 because I'm originally from Missouri.

    Todd apparently you've only talked to a few select fans in a few cities. Perhaps you shoud join the Seattle Sounders crowd or spend time in the pubs in King and Snohonish Counties to find out a bout Americans and Soccer. I grew up in Chicago and knew what "football" was at a very early age, and was very happy when my daughter wanted to be just like Kasey Keller and Jorge Campos. Americans don't like soccer??? Think Again!

    Hahahaha, now I understand your post a little better. You put a link to a different article in there, so I had no idea what you were talking about. Cheers.

    Really? Sweet.

    Loved your vuvuzela piece. I don't get why people have such an issue with them. I have a theory that some people may hear them at a more irritating pitch than the rest of us which is why they hate them so much. I find it a very atmospheric background noise.

    Hey Todd, loved the Messi slideshow. The last slide looked like it was missing an ending, I updated it with what I'm assuming you wanted, but couldn't really be sure without the context. Might be worth checking out. Thx - Sean
