We know why taking care of our health, saving money or getting a job are important issues. But we don’t know why football (soccer) is important. Before I go on, I should clarify that I don’t really like football. But maybe I don’t like it for the same reason that I don’t like most aspects of life, because football is like life itself. This is the perfect metaphor for it.
Mythologies
Tushuntirishga ijozat bering: futbol, hayot kabi, muvaffaqiyatga erishish umidini kuchaytiradi, lekin hayot kabi, u hech bo’lmaganda mukofotlaganicha umidsizlikka soladi va tez-tez ko’proq. In football, like life, legends, deceptions, secrets (the offside rule), rich and poor, politicsaliens, government and even wars, as between them El Salvador and Honduras 1969it happened after a football match between the two countries. Angliya (men yashayotgan joyda) va Germaniya yoki Argentina o’rtasidagi har qanday o’yin bu mamlakatlar o’rtasidagi yangi jang, Normandiyaning yangi qo’nishi yoki Folklend urushi sifatida boshdan kechiriladi, bu faqat inglizlarning tarixiy merosining bir qismi bo’lgan adolatli va kutilgan g’alaba bilan yakunlanishi mumkin, yoki bu aldash (Maradonaning 1986 yilda qo’l to’pidagi goli) yoki boshqa bir omadsizlikdir. defeat against Germany in 1990 and 1996).
When talking about wars, football is often said to be relatively peaceful sublimation war The disproportionate value that exists in the nation’s collective consciousness translates into equally disproportionate expectations when the World Cup arrives.
How football reflects social expectations and behavior
Hayotda, futbol stadionidan tashqarida sodir bo’ladigan voqea, biz o’zimizdan kutilgan narsani qilishga moyil bo’lamiz va kamdan-kam hollarda bundan ko’proq yoki kamroq qilamiz. We don’t like confrontation or disappointment. So you could say that in our daily life we tend to win at home and lose away, just like in football. Bizga o’xshab, futbolchilar ham o’zlaridan kutilgan narsani qilishga moyil bo’lib, uyda ham, mehmonda ham ommani hafsalasini pir qilishni istamaydilar, shuning uchun ular uyda g’alaba qozonadi va mehmonda yutqazadi. From a psychological point of view, it can be seen this way form of social conformity.
But the most striking parallel between football and the rest of our lives is the absurdity of the story. Unlike a Hollywood movie, the game ends at a random point, which is often frustrating from a dramatic perspective. If it happened at all, the climax probably happened in the third minute of the game, and then it did not last long. boredom. Hayot haqidagi hikoya ham xunuk va bema’ni bo’lib, uzoq va mutlaqo unutilmas davrlar, tasodifiy inqiroz lahzalari bilan aralashib ketgan va shifoxona yotog’ida unchalik dramatik bo’lmagan. Shu sababli, ssenariy mualliflari qanchalik urinmasin, mashhur tarjimai hollar hech qachon biopik filmlarning dramatik tuzilishiga to’liq mos kelmaydi. Ulug’vor va dahshatli voqealar bilan to’xtatilgan dramatik nafislik, zerikish, umidsizlik va yomon kayfiyat lahzalari yo’qligi futbolning hayot bilan o’rtoqlashadigan eng muhim xususiyatidir.
The role of hope in football and life
However, there is another common factor: hope, which is eternal. Umid, shveytsariyalik faylasuf Anri-Frederik Amielning so’zlariga ko’ra, hayotga bo’lgan muhabbatdir va bu bizning mavjudligimiz va mamlakatimiz Jahon kubogida g’alaba qozonishiga ishonchimizni oziqlantiradi. We all share this hope. Even if I don’t like football myself.
