Good for a laugh October 17, 2007

A series of strung-together stories, with the overarching theme of globalisation and how it effects us. Football is a good example of the contradictions of the modern world, of course, because it draws us all together (except, perhaps, the US) but also can have all kinds of nationalist bollocks attached. It was amazing to read how Milosevic's shock troops in ethnic cleansing were Red Star Belgrade football hooligans.
Altogether, pretty good read, and from an interesting perspective - the new generation of footy-loving Yanks.
