Readings: Simon Kuper, the Finacial Times reporter and author of the just-released World Cup Fever, a sort of memoir of the nine World Cups he’s attended or covered since the 1978 edition in then-fascist Argentina (which Argentina won, unfortunately, beating the Netherlands 3-1 in overtime, to our Dutch priest’s and our own great sorrow: we watched it live from our mountain home in Lebanon). He writes with bewilderment in a recent New York Times column of the way this year’s World Cup is shaping up, now that the United States is the hated country where many foreigners don’t want to tread: “The United States’ basic message to foreigners seems to be: We hate you. The feeling is mutual. Many of the world’s soccer fans are dreading a tournament in a country that a growing number of foreigners are afraid even to visit. Happily, the Democratic cities that are hosting almost all games in the United States can seize the opportunity to show the world an alternative, a better, America. […] I’ve never known Europeans — or a world — as anti-American as they are today. International opinions of the country have cratered since President Trump returned to office, and in Europe they have hit record lows, according to the pollster YouGov. […] Many visitors worry about being deported, or even locked up, based on the whims of a border official. Accounts of weekslong detentions of apparently blameless visitors have circulated widely, worsening the “Trump slump” in tourism.” Most of the matches will take place in blue cities. Kuper is hoping those cities’ mayors will champion the games and turn their backs to Trump: “Why not let your mayor, instead of Mr. Trump, speak for the United States, or have your street throw a party for visiting fans?” Seattle has gone one better, branding “the hoped-for upcoming Egypt-Iran game at Lumen Field the Pride Match, a centerpiece of the city’s L.G.B.T.Q. celebrations, to the dismay of the federations of both teams. It’s a gesture that says: “This is also who we are.” The World Cup could help the world love the United States again — or parts of it, anyway.”

Every team is simply trying to score goals while preventing its opponent from doing the same. But they all seem to go about it in distinct ways, don’t they? To understand what is happening on the fields in Brazil at the World Cup, one must learn a bit about each country’s history, and literature, and music, and regionalism, and economy – not to mention bicycles and pottery. If you look closely enough at the X’s and O’s, you just might find a national poem.”
–From the introduction to a special section on the 2014 World Cup, New York Times, June 15, 2014.

Dennis C Rathsam says
How much lower can these cartoons picked out by Pierre? MUSK was blamed for him waving months ago….They said he gave the Natzi hand up in the air….. Since then we have seen many democrates, with their hand & arms in the same position. HAKEEM JEFFERIES was on the house floor using the same salute as Musk in the cartoon!!!! Funny, thier are no members of the GOP with a Natzi tatto on his chest, then covered it up, then lying he didn’t know what it meant….. I say POPPYCOCK! DEMOCRATES have thier heads up there asses, turning the party into socialistic policy’s & wing nuts for candidates. American will not stand for socialism, we see what happened in NY. We see the billionaires leaving, & taking thier money with them….. 1/2 moved here to Fl.
