Brazilian Soccer Teams Won't Play in Israel

Never Captain Nicky Butt 20 June @ 01:46 PM EST

I look at football through a lens that may be a bit different from the way others look at football - because I've seen the potential of "peace matches" on the ground level, and I've met with organizers first hand who (naively or not) truly believe that organized sport and common experiences on a football field can bring kids closer together off the field - even where their ideologies - political or religious makeups - may often be kilometers apart.
