This book examines the construction of national, regional, and
group identities in the football journalism of five European
countries: England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Notions of
the respective national stereotypes are explored in each of the
countries studied: for instance, is the stereotype of the French as
a nation producing stylish, elegant football teams reflected in all
European countries? Are there differences in the reconstruction of
the traditional image of the Germans being efficient and
technically competent? Similarly the perpetuation of diverse
regional identities within the nations in question is also
explored: how is the existence of regional movements in Spain, for
example, portrayed by football writing in that country? Finally,
group identities such as those of black players (in England),
foreigners (in Italy), or women (in France) are analysed with a
view to understanding how football writing reconstructs traditional
images of such groups.
