    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

Entraîneur du RAF depuis cinq ans, Franck Rizzetto a très bien négocié le difficile passage du monde pro à celui des amateurs. Portrait. Parler de Franck Rizzetto c'est déjà évoquer son Périgord natal, une terre belle et sauvage chère à bien des Alsaciens qui y ont vécu du temps de l'évacuation, et plus si affinités. On sait d'ailleurs que c'est le Racing qui, à travers ses exploits de 1939-1940, a donné un coup de fouet, à la pratique du football dans une région traditionnellement plus attachée au rugby. A l'époque, Strasbourgeois et Prétocoriens évoluaient côte à côte au sein d'une inédite entente, ce qui vaut à notre Racing le privilège unique d'avoir été champion d'une région autre que la sienne. Des aléas de l'histoire qui font également que l'actuel entraineur de Rodez a toujours des cousins du côté de la capitale alsacienne, par le truchement d'un des nombreux couples « mixtes » ayant alors essaimé. Très attaché à la Dordogne, où il a gardé de solides attaches familiales, c'est pourtant du côté de Toulouse que Franck Rizzetto a débuté. Il signe sa première licence à Balma puis passe au sein du grand club de la ville rose, où il ne parviendra pas à franchir la porte du centre de formation.
