Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain
Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain Spanish soccer is on top of the world, at both international and club levels, with the best teams and a seemingly endless supply of exciting and stylish players. While the Spanish economy struggles, its soccer flourishes, deeply embedded throughout Spanish social and cultural life. But the relationship between soccer, culture and society in Spain is complex. This fascinating, in-depth study shines new light on Spanish soccer by examining the role this sport plays in Basque identity, consol- idated in Athletic Club of Bilbao, the century-old soccer club located in the birthplace of Basque nationalism. Athletic Bilbao has a unique player-recruitment policy, allowing only Basque- born players or those developed at the youth academies of Basque clubs to play for the team, a policy that rejects the internationalism of contemporary globalized soccer. Despite this, the club has never been relegated from the top division of Spanish soccer. A particularly tight bond exists between the fans, their club and the players, with Athletic representing a beacon of Basque national identity. This book is an ethnography of a soccer culture where origins, ethnicity, nationalism, gender relations, power and passion, life-cycle events and death rituals gain new meanings as they become, below and beyond the playing field, a matter of creative contention and communal affirmation. Based on unique, in-depth ethnographic research, Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain investigates how a soccer club and soccer fandom affect the life of a community, interweaving empirical research material with key contemporary themes in the social sciences, and placing the study in the wider context of Spanish political and sporting cultures. -

Нанси - ЦСКА Москва ДЛЯ ПРЕССЫ О МАТЧЕ Марсель Пико, Нанси четверг 4 декабря 2008 - 20.45CET (20.45 Местное время) Группа H - Тур 4 СОДЕРЖАНИЕ 1 - История противостояния 6 - Факты о турнире 2 - Состав команды 7 - Факты о команде 3 - Арбитры 8 - Информация о турнире 4 - Домашние турниры 9 - Ключ 5 - Стартовые составы Этот документ содержит информацию для прессы, касающуюся матча Кубка УЕФА. Более подробные фактологические данные и турнирная статистика содержатся в наборе для прессы по туру. Его можно найти по следующей ссылке: http://ru.uefa.com/uefa/mediaservices/presskits/index.html История противостояния Удачно играющий с французскими клубами московский ЦСКА имеет все шансы одержать в Нанси четвертую победу на групповом этапе Кубка УЕФА, хотя для этого команде Валерия Газзаева необходимо прервать продолжительную победную серию одноименного клуба из Лотарингии в родных стенах. • "Нанси" пропускал третий тур группового этапа Кубка УЕФА, но набрал четыре очка в двух предыдущих встречах, а значит в случае победы дружина Пабло Корреа досрочно обеспечит себе место в весенней стадии турнира. • Для клубов это первая встреча в еврокубках. • "Нанси" еще не имеет опыта встреч с клубами из России, а вот для ЦСКА это уже восьмой матч с представителем Франции. Семь предыдущих принесли армейцам три победы одну ничью и три поражения. • В трех выездных матчах во Франции ЦСКА добыл одну победу при двух поражениях. • Как тренер ЦСКА, Валерий Газзаев имеет положительный баланс встреч с французами. Под его руководством красно-синие выиграли три матча из пяти, хотя в двух других потерпели поражения. • Более того, до этого еще будучи наставником московского "Динамо" Газзаев одолел на выезде "Канн" со счетом 1:0, а затем отстоял ничью дома - 1:1. -

With his three goals (20, 44, 75), Villa became the first player since 2000 to score a hat-trick on this illustrious stage before setting up the fourth goal for Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) after Roman Pavlyuchenko (86) had reduced the deficit. • If it is little surprise that Luis Aragonés's Spain have steadily built on that victory to reach their first semi-final in 24 years, Russia's impressive turnaround since that false start was perhaps less easy to predict. Yet it continues Hiddink's commendable record at major tournaments, having never failed to take a team beyond the opening stage. • After losing to Spain, Russia revived their hopes by defeating holders Greece 1-0 in Salzburg through a 33rd-minute goal by Konstantin Zyryanov. They then beat Sweden 2-0 in their decisive third group game, Pavlyuchenko (24) and Andrei Arshavin (50) scoring as Russia secured their passage to the last eight.
