As one of the few and perhaps only nationalists that watches football (soccer for those with air conditioning) for enjoyment, I felt it necessary to enlighten readers to the news and opinion pieces surrounding the world-cup of 2026. For the same reasons many don’t want to watch it, I in fact watch it specifically to keep up with what goes on in the minds of both the normies and Paper-Europeans. (more…)

As I discussed in a previous article, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of Manchester United Football Club, caused controversy last week by saying that, thanks to uncontrolled mass immigration, his home-country of the UK was being “colonized by immigrants.” Across the city at United’s local rivals, however, the prospect of Europe being conquered by outsiders seems to be an altogether more welcome one to other leading lights in Manchester’s football (as in “soccer” for US readers) hierarchy.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) upset some people this week by releasing a series of t-shirts branded with logos from previous iterations of the Olympic Games—including the 1936 Munich ones, held in Nazi Germany. Cue howls of liberal outrage. It was said that Including the Nazi Olympics was just not on, with the whole shameful episode being an appalling example of the unnecessary politicization of sport upon behalf of a sinister totalitarian regime.

Following last week’s election of Zohran Mamdani as Caliph of New York, completely unrelated publications worldwide seemed all-too eager to demonstrate their Islamophilia by shoehorning spurious mention of him into their pages. Zohran Mamdani is a fashion icon, say fashion websites! Zohran Madani is a gay icon, say gay websites! And, of course, Zohran Mamdani is a soccer icon, say soccer websites! (more…)

As a primarily American-facing website, many readers of Counter-Currents may not possess much interest in the subject of English Premier League soccer. In which case, I have one simple piece of advice for you: tune in to any given Premier League soccer match! Rather than boring old sportsball, the main topic covered during most broadcasts of games is now in fact racism. (more…)

Warm weather, football, hordes of non-white asylum seekers launching fireworks and wielding knives, and parked cars formed a confluence of elements that led once again to riots in France. Over the weekend, Paris and other parts of France saw vehicles ablaze, water cannons at full blast, wanton acts of vandalism and looting, police resplendent in riot gear, Palestinian flags, stabbings, brawls, and sirens.

This coming weekend sees the conclusion of most major football (or soccer, for US readers) leagues across Europe. I doubt whether the prominent anti-immigration French philosopher Renaud Camus, the man who coined the term “The Great Replacement”, is a big sportsball fan himself, but if he is, he should be keeping close tabs on the contrasting final-day fortunes of two distant teams: Manchester United, of the English Premier League, and SSC Napoli of Italy’s Serie A.

To do anything to a high level, it has to be a total obsession.

English football fans in Europe during the 1980s and ‘90s were not ambassadors either for the British game or Britain itself. Increasingly cheap flights across Europe meant that vast numbers of fat, pasty, sweaty, bald or balding men were able to enjoy spoiling the afternoons of those wishing to use cafés and bars in Portugal, or France, or Malta.
Whenever England or a top English side played in Europe, a town square somewhere would soon fill with beer bellies on shirtless, gross, and grubby torsos. (more…)

As I hoped to make clear in my piece last week on the Gaza conflict, Israel vs. Palestine is much like Liverpool vs. Tottenham (if you get the football reference) in that I would like both sides to lose.
However, daggers are drawn and fighting has commenced. It is all rather a long way away, but one of the great things about the modern world is that you don’t have to go out to get things. (more…)

Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “The Banana as a Hate Symbol,” on a recent kerfuffle in Texas over a banana holder that was used as a prop at a Texas city council meeting — and on whether the conventional wisdom that blacks are associated with bananas because of monkeys is in fact correct.

“A Monkey-Themed Banana Holder Is Tearing a Texas City Apart” reads a Daily Beast headline that attributes so much magical voodoo power to a banana holder, one suspects it may have been written by a black person. (more…)
