Football, by far the world’s most popular sport, is the mirror of our society. Its Americanisation is visible as much as it is audible, as expressed by the autumnal voice of visitor Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO of Atlético de Madrid, on 7 October at the IE Tower Auditorium. This week, it was rumoured that the first fixture of the sort will be the very Atlético against Barcelona in Miami three days before Christmas. How will this circus end? We shall wait.

The honest truth is that being in that alternative space cannot entirely detach us from the everyday challenges that we carry.
What factors allowed the Anschluß in 1938? Even though Adolf Hitler’s determination to expand was one of the main drivers, there has to be an explanation for why Austrians lacked resistance to be absorbed by the German power.
