Question
I'm wondering if you can tell me the name of the classical piece that plays 2 minutes, 50 seconds into this football video on UTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axaBG4t-gJs
Many thanks!

Answer
I'm pretty certain that's from a movie score, or some such, that is, that it isn't part of the classical repertoire.  What makes me think that (besides not recognizing it) is the mix of styles.  It starts as a Baroque piece, and ends up as a 20th century piece (for example, the ostinato at the end in the strings is something that Baroque or Classical or Romantic composers would do -- and the combination of instruments is all over the place, evoking "classical" music without actually being it).
