...fake, how to coach a man in bed. Even the sex scenes are comic because, like good art and bad porn, they show sex in all its sloppy awkwardness. When Carrie is introduced to a New York Yankees star, he's impressed by her job. "Nothing dull about that," he says. "You'd be surprised," she retorts...

It's a far cry from the men's World Cup, where teams often dam the goalmouth with defenders and play dull, negative, just-don't-lose-it soccer. Nor do the ladies act like the prima-donna strikers who turn the slightest foul into a scene from Tosca.
