Cole Barker is Manchester United (EPL)
Of course it makes sense…powerful, tough, rugged, skillful and annoyingly hard to kill-off! Cole Barker and Manchester United tick all the same boxes and they have an unwavering smugness while doing it! Chuck’s resident Bond caricature and the red devils are destined to appear together because they are so similar they both have a frustrating habit of embarrassing our heroes (Chuck/Arsenal) with their remarkable skills and I really need to mention again how hard they are to kill off…really really REALLY hard!
Perhaps it’s the confident swagger and steadfast belief in their abilities that puts Chuck/Arsenal off their game. Much of the time this swagger and bluster is all it takes for Man U/Cole to dominate the game! As an Arsenal fan I heard all the jokes about our recent loss to Man U, I’d 8-2 be an Arsenal fan and all that but it pays to remember that sometimes Arsenal does... MUST stand and fight; because
When you meet somebody (or something) you care about, it’s just hard to walk away...

Morgan Grimes is Manchester City (EPL)
That’s right Morgan Guillermo Grimes (aka the Morgan-sect) is Man City. Makes sense the inept spy-in-training we used to laugh at is now in possession of the world’s greatest spy weapon-The Intersect! Compare that to Manchester City the (formally) inept second team in Manchester is now in possession of the greatest weapon in football (No not Leo Messi…)…Money and lots of it!
Manchester City has assembled a lot of great & talented players (Aguero, Nasri, Dzecko, Silva etc.) arguably enough to be considered one of the best teams in the world; all the tools are there but do they have the chemistry and intangibles that all great teams need? Morgan has all the intersect’s data and abilities downloaded in his head; he has all the same stuff that Chuck had. The question remains however, does Morgan have the intangible spirit and epic chutzpah that makes Chuck the spy...the MAN he is?
In the case of Morgan we will begin to get the answer to our questions in October and as for Manchester City we may need to wait till May with the end of this current season.

Carina Miller is Argentina (National Team)
Ruthless, cut-throat and willing to bend the rules as far as possible, it sure sounds like Carina or the Argentinean Futbol team? Yes but that would selling both very short… there is also a deadly beauty in the way Argentina play and you would have to be blind not to see Carina’s deadly beauty.
The truth is that what makes Argentina’s football (and Carina) so special is that all those elements come together in a perfect mix of good & bad you take any of it away and it’s not the same! I think you have to respect both Carina and Argentina for making no excuses as to how they play the game…they play to win! I grew up watching the flawed genius that was Diego Maradona, the player that scored all those wonderful goals was the same one who cheated to score “The Hand of God goal”! You can’t accept one and neglect the other all of those aspects make up the person or team.
Carina seems like she would stop at nothing to get the job done; often putting her partners at risk to get the job done and she gets results. The truth is Sarah (and by extension Chuck) has a very loyal friend and ally in Carina; even with her… unique honour code. I don’t need to convince you of Carina’s beauty but what about the La Albiceleste? I have heard this goal called the “25 steps to heaven” and I think you can appreciate the name once you see it…even the boys from Brazil would struggle to match this!
Zondra is Chile (National Team)
Full of spice and flair, Chile’s national team are perhaps the best exponents of sexy football in South America at the moment just as Zondra was perhaps the most kick-ass addition to Chuck mythology in 2011! It must be said how amazingly awesome Mercedes Masohn (who plays Zondra) is, definitely the guiltiest pleasure to follow on twitter!The character of Zondra was not afraid to throw down with the best in the business, Sarah Walker…and she survived! Much like how the Chileans took on eventual world cup winners Spain and were far from embarrassed only going down 2-1.
Jill Roberts is Italy (National Team)
What does that egghead brunette Jill Roberts have in common with the Azzuri; I say quite a lot scientific, smart, cerebral, conniving, and manipulative, that’s just for starters.
Italy are the masters of a defensive tactic called the Catenaccio (Italian for Door-Bolt) a highly organized and effective backline defense which is intended to prevent scoring; which to put it bluntly is what Jill did to Chuck and Sarah.Italy specialized tactic is to soak up attacking pressure with different forms of Catenaccio and then rip the heart of the opposing team with a single goal. This is an extremely smart tactic when it works for them but like Jill when things are not going in their favour they are more than willing to resort to the dark arts (like cynical fouling and diving) to win. Two teams I hold very dear are the Dutch Euro 2000 Team and the Australian (Socceroos) 2006 World Cup team; both of which were defeated in heart breaking circumstances by the Italians.
In the case of Australia they fell victim to the dark arts of Italian left-back Fabio Grosso.
That is it for this edition of Chuck FC!
I do have more of these to come, but I might change it up for my next post...I am thinking something in the CHUCK music area but with my usual off-centre analysis.
Again 'til next time
Stay Aces!!
