The Best Thing You'll Read About the UConn Women's Bball Streak

As Bill Simmons says, vigorous co-sign.

Go read the story, if for no other reason than the quote from John Wooden‘s grandson is perfectly fitting (and its inclusion is a good example of what makes Richard Deitsch so special).

Soccer's Growing Hooligan Problem

Noah Davis — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 11:33:14 +0000

Last week, Serbian hooligans forced the cancellation of a soccer match between their countrymates and Italy. Seventeen people were detained by authorities. Serbian president Boris Tadic blamed organized crime and anti-gay groups for giving orders.

“Not for a moment should we forget that organized crime uses extremist fan groups to destabilize the state, which sends mafia bosses into prison. In this fight, Serbia will prevail,” he said.

Slate’s Brian Phillips takes stock of the whole situation, noting that Italian officials should have seen this coming.

“Earlier in the day, ultra-nationalist Serbs had fought with Italian police in the streets and attacked their own team bus, yet the same group was able to enter the stadium with unconfiscated knives, clubs, and explosives,” he writes.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Phillips’ take revolves around the resurgence of the historical ties between right-wing radicals and soccer hooliganism. (He smartly points to Bill Buford‘s seminal and awesome book, Among The Thugs, as the best guide for the heyday 30 years ago.) The nationalists were acting on instructions from higher up, “it’s not clear that the rioters themselves all had the same objective or that they even knew what their objective was.”

Hence, the disorganized, chaotic riots that managed to do nothing other than piss the rest of the world off and stop a game.

Sweden, on the other hand, has a very different hooligan problem. continued…

Pelada Shoots, Scores

Noah Davis — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 11:15:14 +0000

At its core, soccer is the most social of games. You need little to play – some semblance of a ball, two “posts” for goals – but it does require bodies. Solo kickabouts rarely last.

Luke Boughen and Gwendolyn Oxenham prove this point in Pelada, a documentary that follows the two former college stars as they travel the world, searching for pickup games. They find them everywhere, from a prison in Bolivia to a town square in China.

The film, which played its world premiere at South by Southwest in March and scored positive reviews from outlets included The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and the BBC, held its New York premiere Tuesday night at Legend’s Restaurant and Bar. SportsNewser spoke with Oxenham before the screening about the definition of success, the drudgery of promotion, and kinda, sorta being a movie star. continued…
