When The Beautiful Game Turns Ugly VERONA, Italy -- Right up until he started quoting Hitler and dropping N-bombs, my new friend was a great dude. I'll call him The Hooligan. A more generous host would be hard to find. Soon after we met, he made sure we stopped at the one place in town that served Campari correctly. Now we are headed toward the terraces of the stadium. "How about, 'You're a f---ing n-----'?" Lost in the Pontine Marshes Enlarge Benito Mussolini in 1936. This story is about a red motorcycle. The ghost of Mussolini rides through the swampland he turned into farms, the sound of his bike's engine going tom-tom-tom in the dark. Pennacchi lectures me that American democracy is not morally superior. "You are simplifying!" He stands up, imitating the way Balotelli appeals for a foul to the officials, moving around like he's been shot, the curse words flying in Italian. "Balotelli is an asshole," he says. The steam runs out. "We are all assholes," he says. "The Hitler inside every one of us," he says. Enlarge Enlarge

Association football Team sport played with a spherical ball Internationally, association football is governed by FIFA. Under FIFA, there are six continental confederations: AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA. Name Association football is one of a family of football codes that emerged from various ball games played worldwide since antiquity. The term soccer comes from Oxford "-er" slang, which was prevalent at the University of Oxford in England from about 1875, and is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School. History Kicking ball games arose independently multiple times across multiple cultures. Phaininda and episkyros were Greek ball games.[17][24] An image of an episkyros player depicted in low relief on a stele of c. 375–400 BCE in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens[15] appears on the UEFA European Championship trophy.[25] Athenaeus, writing in 228 CE, mentions the Roman ball game harpastum. Football is played at a professional level all over the world. Gameplay Laws
