Does anybody have the answer? This book argues that football offers us the possibility of manageable doses of self-elected madness. A madness that is essential for a sane life. For the paradox is that this very madness is simultaneously therapeutic: football as an insistent provocation, repeatedly re-inaugurating the reverie or drift, disrupted by those moments of the most intense fracture, moments of the autistic stare.SoccerPsychological aspectsSoccer fansPsychologySoccerPsychological aspects.Soccer fansPsychology.796.334Oakley Chris1587852FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910800081403321Football delirium3876423UNINA
