Soccer Ethnography 2007

The World Cup starts tomorrow... but for now I've got some soccer ethnography vids I made for a visual anthropology class way back when  These were filmed in 2007 at Nevada Smith's bar in NYC (this is THE place to watch football in the USA).  I originally made the videos as extras for the DVD of Sunday at Smith's: A Soccer Ethnography.  Watch that if you want the general overview.  Here are some clips on specific topics.

FC Army USA (this is the mini-project that started the whole thing off)

There's lots more where these came from, and I'll continue to post periodically as I get them up online.  Check out the Filming the Fever vimeo channel here: http://vimeo.com/channels/filmingthefever
