The Cup Of Life

Kam Raslan | Rahmah Pauzi | Umapagan Ampikaipakan

The Cup Of Life

It’s the World Cup season, and therefore we definitely have to go over some football related topics before the season’s over. Uma discusses the phenomenon of faux fandom - the desire or need to fit in with the ongoing trend of football mania. Rahmah relates her story of growing up with football in the company of her father and their strife with finding a way to watch the World Cup this year. Finally, Kam examines the different ways tribal or team allegiances in football are formed based on different factors.
