As it is and as the run-up to the 2010 World Cup will prove yet again, soccer has become so much part of our everyday lives that it warrants a study of its complexity as a phenomenon of popular culture. In a figurative sense, soccer has become an arena in which central issues of contemporary society and culture, politics even, are being negotiated (viz. the Anglo-German rivalry of "Two World Wars and one World Cup").
