 Bar-On: Ambiguities of Football
In the three previous sections, football was examined as a 'top-down' mechanism of political manipulation by cultural, political, and socio-economic elites in the creation of discourses of statehood; by politicians and generals for 'constructive' purposes; and by various Latin American elites as an arena of class warfare.
Football in the region has tended to reinforce traditional hegemonic notions about sport and the maintenance of the social peace and status quo, or been used in the harnessing of nationalistic, authoritarian, gender-specific, and class-based ends.
Professional football has rarely entered into a sustained and 'authentic' political dialogue with emerging social movements or the larger Latin American society about the most pressing issues of the age and region, be it environmental destruction, the breakdown of communities and identities, unemployment, mass starvation, government corruption, or a de facto corporate and military rule.

 Football Fanatic - results, history and statistics: December 2004
As a person with a keen interest in both European 20th century history and in football, it was interesting programme, although the programme at times often rather simplified the hsitorical context, such as the German annexation of Austria or the reasons for the Falagist victory in the Spanish civil war.
The German football team was also part of this political machinery, and the programme alledges that the only football game Hitler ever went to was when Germany sensationally was defeated by Norway in the 1936 Olympics.
While football is a valuable propaganda tool, it was more an expression of the society and politics of 1930's Europe, and not a direct influence on the sustanability of the regime.

With the match seemingly heading for a draw, the Colombians produced two goals in the closing stages - just as they had against Italy - to deny a brave Canadian side and progress to the second round.
