patriotism in June
bearded sages revealed to us some time ago that the main role of football is mental control of the population.
of the club competitions is handled by the interior ministry and it looks for different teams take different roles with which, in a banal activity, establish a replica of the real political conflicts (left-right, center-independence movement, etc.)..
passionately follow their team come to think futbolero that this activity has a consistent policy or has any influence on the real world, not spectacular.
thus the populace holds passionate speeches on the banal, and speeches about the real distracted.
of competitions "selections" are handled by the foreign ministry and its function is, like the rain dance Malinowski, social cohesion.
patriotism is well hidden byways, generating consensus as vicente created around the forest: the forest to the Madrid fans like him because they won two European Cups and antimadridistas because it did not renew his contract. and outside this dichotomy there is nothing, all with the coach of the red.
analogy
is usually repeated by many commentators over the analogy between clubs and real madrid-brazil-selections.
the most obvious and direct is the pile of junk accumulated in the trophy room (31 leagues and 9 European Cups the Madriz, 5 World Championships and 8 cups america brazil). but repeated analogies also historical:
-both have a foundational moment in the 50's-60's: Madriz of di Stefano, Pele's Brazil.
-in the 80's, frustrated romance: the españa'82 brazil of the Madriz of the fifth.
-century change, rebirth: brazil spends three to five world cups, the actual spend six to nine European Cups.
but we are most interested are the analogies that occur on a mental level, in the visions that the footballing public has both:
, the team always betrays the founding myth.
-the coach is ever questioned. Madriz
, both the lack of rigor as brazil tactical balance.
-win for their individuality, for its punch.
have all these analogies, but we can not fathom what the first cause, the ultimate key to St. Thomas.
what is indisputable is that in the World Cup, we canarinho Madridistas atheists atheists.
bluff in south africa so, encourage them to brazil as we hydrate with guarana and eat Garoto chocolates. pity that this world look bad:
-dung density poses a double pivot. Gilberto Silva has style but his way is an elderly man with a residual presence in the game. As for Felipe bluff is a player who loses irritating as many balls as recovered.
-the left wing with being tested (clubs, robinho) is a full-fledged autobahn to rival strategists.
-Kaka looks out of shape, and Luis Fabiano is not living god, Ronaldo and Romario.
so, a team full-blown decadent aristocrat, whom nobody can ignore, since it is brazil. ---
