Скачать или смотреть For Americans: Why Soccer Is Basically Global Politics

For most Americans, soccer is just a sport.
For the rest of the world, it’s politics, power, identity, and sometimes even war.

In this video, we break down why soccer has sparked conflicts, paused civil wars, propped up dictators, and united nations when diplomacy failed. From World Cups that cost billions to matches that changed history, soccer has become one of the most powerful geopolitical tools on Earth — hiding in plain sight.

This isn’t about tactics, players, or leagues.
It’s about why governments care, why people are willing to die for a game, and why nothing else can unite the world the same way.

If you’ve ever wondered why countries fight to host the World Cup, why soccer matters so much outside the U.S., or how a sport can influence global politics — this video is for you.
