THE LOWDOWN EPISODE #103 - THE RELATIONIST APPROACH w/ JAMIE HAMILTON

"It is in destabilization and movement and not stability and fixedness that reality finds opportunities to develop in interesting and unpredictable ways".

Argentina's recent World Cup success represented a shift in the eco system of World Football. Football after all is a cultural expression however lately the local forces in which the game emerged have been usurped by global idealism as to how the game ought to be played. "Without a vibrant, bubbling multiplicity of footballing realities interacting with each other the game becomes stagnant, mineralised in its current state, fossilised and frozen in time." The Argentine's crowning glory saw the universalization of the European positionist approach meeting "La Nuestra" (our way) of the Argentinian's and came up short.

Is this triumph of localism a one off success?

Is it happening elsewhere?

Have we reached Year Zero and the dawn of a new beginning?

Esteemed tactics writer and football coach; Jamie Hamilton joins me to discuss all the above and so much more.
