I will be posting links to interesting articles touching on International Politics and Foreign Policy in my blog from today.
Here is an interesting analysis by Hamid Dabashi, one of my favorite authors and commentator of world affairs. He ponders why the World Cup is more interesting than World Politics. Even though he hasnt mentioned the fact that he has been over the moon for Iran national team qualification to the World Cup and the somewhat inspiring performance, I believe this article has been highly motivated with #TeamMelli. I was also supporting Iran by the way.
Here is the article courtesy of Aljazeera: Why is the World Cup more exciting than world politics?

this question is well asked. in my view, it is because it is a game of fair play and only performance is required; not use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. After all it is only football.
