When people ask me about it
I like to interpret the world cup in terms of:
- Anthropology
- ethos/rituals
- Hegel
- Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde

- [MYTAKE] For Messi, we were able to see his Mr Hyde first, whereas for Maradona we see his Mr Hyde later. After all, the more social skills one has the more he can postpone the revelation from his Mr Hyde, this also resonates with Pride and Prejudice
