Ad Campaign for Soccer Angers Some Feminists The New York Times: Complete Coverage of The World Cup By ALESSANDRA STANLEY OME -- Soccer is usually the great unifier, the one hallowed passion that brings warring Italians together. When the first matches of the World Cup began last week, even the irreconcilable Italian Parliament agreed to hold sessions in the morning, which by odd coincidence leaves their afternoons free to watch the matches. But this year the World Cup, usually the apotheosis of social harmony, has opened a huge rift in Italian society. It is not the customary war between the sexes, because Italian men are cloistered all month in front of their television sets. Instead, the World Cup has set off a bitter debate between Italian feminists and those who call themselves post-feminists over how women should be portrayed in the news media. search.nytimes.com

I remember the first World Cup game I ever saw on TV. In 1990, I was in Los Angeles, and I was channel surfing one day. I got to the Spanish language station, and there was a game on. I played soccer in high school, so I watched. I didn't know who was playing right away because the announcer was speaking Spanish. Right when I got to the game, some guy had taken a pass at midfield and started towards the goal. He picked up speed fast and blew past 3 defenders with lightning speed. It was amazing! Then he scored a goal. It was the single most amazing display of soccer talent I have ever seen, and I saw it by accident. After that, I started watching him. His name was Diego Maradona.
