Here in Kenya, the World Cup has taken a tragic turn.
A boy was killed in Kisumu over Brazil's defeat by France.

Latin America

Futbol is the most popular sport in Latin America.
Huge amount of teams, millions and millions of devoted fans. Sport pages in newspapers are mainly about futbol. The best futbol players are real "celebrities"
The activity is very intense as much as in Europe or Africa.

9 of the 18 World Cups held up until now, were won by South America's national teams (Brazil five times, Argentina twice and Uruguay twice). When this edition of the World Cup comes to an end, Europe will have also 9 won.

L Am soccer has given the world great players, such as Pele and Maradona to mention the most well known. My country in particular won the first World Cup played in the year 1930 and also the one in 1950 (against Brazil in Maracana).

Romania

-football season starts (Russia&Scandinavia)
kigo for (early) spring

-football season starts (most of the rest of the world)
kigo for early autumn

-end of football season (Russia&Scandinavia)
kigo for early winter

-end of football season (rest of the world)
kigo for late spring/early summer

(actually, for us in Romania, the week after the end of the last league matches is very interesting: you see people gradually shifting their conversation topics from "important matters" to planning their summer vacation)

-Euro Cups start
kigo for autumn
(actually for smaller countries they start much earlier; but mid-September is when they start in earnest and media attention turns to them)

-Euro Cup finals
kigo for late spring

-Intertoto Cup
summer kigo
(I discovered I have a soft spot for the Intertoto Cup; it has a sort of "wabi" to it; it involves small, lower-budget clubs who generally know they're never going to be champions of their country and who sacrifice their summer breaks in pursuit of a very ellusive dream: out of 100 or so teams starting this year, only 3 will get the questionable prize of being allowed to contest the UEFA Cup from September onwards.
It involves smaller communities getting excited about their team playing "in Europe" and hosting another team they previously never heard of. In the admittedly too money-driven world of today's football, it has a flavour of gratuitousness about it).

-Compiled by Larry Bole:

スケートの真顔なしつゝたのしけれ
sukeeto no magao nashitsutsu tanoshikere

So serious
The face of the skaters,
Yet so enjoyable!

--Yamaguchi Seishi, (1931) Tr. Blyth


スケートの 紐むすぶ間もはやりつつ
sukeeto no himo musubu ma mo hayari tsutsu

Even in the time
it takes to tie on ice-skates,
the heart beats faster.

--Seishi (1932)
Tr. Takashi Kodaira and Alfred H. Marks

Comment by Seishi:
The skating rink on top of the Asahi Building, near the Sumitomo Building. Since I had become expert at skating with 'geta' skates when I was in elementary school, I was able to master the use of shoeskates quickly. My heart would pound even as I tied the laces of the skates.

'Other points of interest':
the so-called 'geta'-skate has a single blade in place of the two usual "teeth" under the 'geta', and slipped onto the feet like thongs.


learning to skate
I was Hans Brinker
until I fell

--Larry Bole


quote
Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates
(full title: Hans Brinker; or,
the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland)


Hans Brinker tying on his sister Gretel's ice skates

The novel takes place in the Netherlands, and is a colorful fictional portrait of early nineteenth-century Dutch life, as well as a tale of youthful honor.
