Is fútbol in Mexico a sacred experience?

Did you know that fútbol became popular in Mexico because religious groups promoted it amongst their students? In this 17-minute video, which has an honors thesis-esque style, we look into how the experience of going to a match in Mexico or even playing fútbol has become a sort of sacred experience.

As you may have gathered I am a stubborn and grumpy individual at times, personally I am not a fan of what Christmas has become over time, I am not remotely religious either, other than a few moments when I believed Dennis Bergkamp to be the messiah (no offence intended to all those of you with a religion other than the Church of Bergkamp).

Everybody who comments, be it in print or on the radio or on television, makes mistakes. It doesn't matter who you are or how much you know or just what the subject is: Sooner or later you will slip up. And so I don't want to seem to be going after some poor talking head, some exceptionally easy target, just for the sake of it.

What are the odds Tottenham are heavenly at St James' Park? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The Welshman wasn't there because he was still in New Zealand. That's the joke currently doing the rounds in Wales, a country where rugby is treated like a religion – very few people turn up on a Sunday.

It's an oft heard cliché that football is ‘like a religion'. That's never an assertion I've been wholly comfortable with. In large part this is probably coloured by a personal lack of faith, but having been raised and schooled (at least until the age of 11) in the bosom of a strong Northern Catholic community and subsequently lived in some of the country's most ethnically diverse post codes I'd

By Alan Duffy

Another example of how that heady mix of religion and football can go horribly wrong, a Bosnian Premier League game in Mostar between locals rivals Velez and Zrinjksi ended in rather frightening scenes last week.

Rijad Demic, playing for Velzez, a team from the Muslim side of Mostar, netted the winning goal in extra-time, a strike that the Croat fans of Zrinski didn't take too kindly too.

I'm on the grid, trying to show our new goalkeeper a thing or two about how our defense does things. In this training exercise, if he fails to catch the ball cleanly enough times, he's derezzed.

"Come on Bryan, you have to be better than that to cope with Hurtado's breakdowns!" I exhort, not seeing the Sigibot saunter up.
