Philipp Lahm, mondig en sociaal betrokken. Dit is de elfde aflevering in de serie Wereldbekerbrieven over spelers, scheidsrechters, coaches en supporters (mensen die zich op het WK onderscheiden door sportief maar ook door onsportief gedrag).

World Cup Teams Without Immigrants. BERLIN, Germany — It's not just morons throwing bananas on the field.
Far-right political parties are gaining ground in France and the Netherlands. Most of Germany's soccer hooligans are now neo-Nazis. And this spring, Switzerland voted to curb immigration, defying the spirit of laws that allow citizens freedom of movement across the European Union. But amid all the bad blood, has anyone thought about how sending immigrants packing would affect the teams playing the world's greatest game? Broadly defining “foreigner” as anyone with at least one foreign-born parent, Switzerland would lose two-thirds of its players. First among the World Cup ghost nations: Suriname? Ah, Suriname.
Somewhere in a parallel universe, this small Caribbean nation is advancing ominously through the World Cup tournament, where its opponents await it with a studious concern. In that universe, men such as Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Patrick Kluivert, Frank Rijkaard and Ruud Gullit have worn Suriname’s colors – rather than Dutch orange – on the basis of their heritage. This elite quintet claimed no less than twelve European Cups (as the UEFA Champions League was once known), while Gullit and Rijkaard made Holland champions of Europe in 1988.
And they are only the most illustrious of hundreds of great players who originally hail from this tiny nation of a half million on the northern edge of South America. One only wonders what they would have won had they all played together for their country of origin. Stichting Niet te kraken. How-we-play. The Beautiful GameLives Here Brazil By JOSÉ MIGUEL WISNIK In Brazil, soccer was initially played among elite clubs behind closed doors.
Trikotsammlung Matchworn Fortuna Düsseldorf F95. Nog twee keer zulk machtsvertoon van Oranje en in Marokko vergeven ze ons zelfs Wilders. How Brazil’s World Cup has sold its people short in the Amazon. An hour’s rickety drive north-west out of Manaus, along the banks of the Rio Negro and into the jungle, feels like a long way from the corporate glitz of Fifa.
The roads are so bumpy that drivers have to steer up on to the muddy banks to avoid potholes, and bugs almost as big as your fist feast on dogs sleeping under trees, too hot to brush them off. But it is up here that you find the angry nub of so much of the controversy surrounding Brazil’s World Cup. Down a small slip path off what could, at a push, be described as a main road, a man sporting green shorts, a magnificent feathered headdress, body paint made from berry juice on his arms and cheeks, and a big smile across his face greets the occasional visitor to his home. 37 reasons why Andrea Pirlo is the world’s greatest living human man · Project Babb. Brazil 2014 is likely to be Andrea Pirlo’s last appearance at an international tournament.

In a bitingly cold, otherwise empty Vicarage Road this week on Wednesday, Gianfranco Zola, former Chelsea, Napoli and Italy playing legend turned Watford manager, watched with hands clasped behind his back as his eclectic squad of nationalities skipped through a nine-a-side training joust.
The goals were squeezed into less than half the pitch, but the players were relishing the game, exhibiting an intricacy of skills. Matej Vydra, the 20-year-old striker who has scored 20 times in Watford's eye-catching ascent to third place in the Championship, was away on international duty with the Czech Republic, but several of his seven fellow loan players from the Italian club Udinese were in the session. Real Oviedo – the remarkable story of a club the world united to save. When Michu turns up at the Emirates Stadium with his Swansea City team-mates this weekend he will seek out Arsenal's playmaker Santi Cazorla, give him a hug and talk.
They will talk about life in a new country and life back in the old country. Conversation will no doubt turn, as it has done often since the start of November, to the club where they started their career and the momentous month it has just been through, a club that has been reborn thanks not least to them. Michu, Cazorla and Chelsea's Juan Mata all began their careers with Real Oviedo in Asturias, northern Spain. Right now there may be no club in the Premier League that can lay claim to having discovered and developed three current players of that level.
