if we assume that soccer is being increasingly incapsulated by national
('disciplinary') and economic discourses, is there any room for a distinct
soccer discourse in mediated megaevents like the world cup? in other words,
have even the most eloquent dribbles become signs of the nation (or as in
south africa, castle lager)? not to say that a national sign needs to have
a given value, or even that the situation is uniform in the different
locations where the world cup is mediated.
