Crisis de Identidad en la Copa del Mundo

Dado el clima que se vive en el pais, y en el CEACS, me veo obligada a copiaros este articulo del Atlantic Monthly (no esta disponible en linea para no subscriptores):
The globalization of soccer has distanced players from national fan bases—which is why the World Cup provokes such identity crises
by Geoffrey Wheatcroft
.....
When Germany and Costa Rica kick off the World Cup in Munich on June 9, a large part of mankind will be in a state of acute expectancy. Many of these fans will also have had to make a drastic switch of identities—to national sides composed of their compatriots, and away from nearby club teams that may include none of their compatriots at all. Things were much easier when you could support your local club and, if there were players on the team good enough to play for their (and your) country, you could support them in national colors every four years, wearing the white shirt of England rather than the red of Liverpool, or Spanish red and yellow rather than Real Madrid all-white. The globalization of soccer creates something of a quadrennial psychic trauma—though one that Americans may find difficult to understand.

Por cierto, ayer me grabé 24 gigas de música xurxil. Te los paso cuando llegue. Hay cosas que te gustarán.
24 gigas = 7.000 canciones.
Comprobado. Veo que es de pago el Atlantic Monthly... :)
Arreglado.
Y brillante el artículo. Nunca había pensado en cómo la globalización se introdujo en el fútbol y, a pesar de ello, el identitarismo que todavía hace más atractivo cosas como el Mundial.
Me pregunto si en los circos romanos la plebe se volvía más fervorosa cuando los gladiadores eran de la ciudad, en vez de nubios, persas o escitas... :)
Habrá que leer a Caton el viejo.
