I have always been a soccer fan and I just found this fascinating. Tensions are increasing in Europe between countries as the financial crisis deepens and these sentiments are spilling over on to the soccer field. Is this reasonable? I mean we are all aware of the result of increasing tensions between European countries.. and nationalism is being scrutinized (and sort of banned) on the soccer field. Can we separate racism, nationalism and the experience of Euro Cup? Part of the Euro Cup and World Cup is nationalism.. is it fair to ask people to separate the two?
