    In 1986, on the heels of an economic crisis and an earthquake that severely disrupted Mexican infrastructure and civilian life, the country moved forward as hosts of the 13th FIFA World Cup, an event defined by the friction between celebration of a sport foundational to the Mexican identity and a period of intense regional strife.

    The Corinthians: An Experiment in Democracy

    In the early 1980's, under military dictatorship, the Brazilian soccer team led by footballer Socrates created a microcosm of democracy that valued the opinions of all players and team management equally. The movement would cement Brazilian soccer as a breeding ground for political experimentation, idealism, and action.
