The 2010 World Cup is almost here, and we've all read plenty about the beautiful, the world's game. Although there is no discussion of where our allegiances lie, we are sometimes confronted with difficult questions:
- Because one nation is supposedly the football arch-enemy of yours, should you join your compatriots in wishing its defeat, even when you love everything about that country?
- When you suspect football is being used as a populist tool of cleptocracy, numbing the masses and accelerating of your country's decline, do you still want it to succeed?
Of course you do, even if it makes no sense at all.
Even if it contradicts everything you believe in.
Powerful stuff indeed.
