Der vorliegende Band analysiert das sich wandelnde Fussballspiel in Deutschland und England vor dem Hintergrund der Frage: Lasst sich im Kontext des globalisierten, postmodernen Fussballspiels noch von nationalen Fussballkulturen sprechen, die sich deutlich voneinander unterscheiden? Die deutschen und englischen Beitrage betrachten dazu eine Reihe unter-schiedlicher Phanomene, wie etwa die soziale Herkunft der Fans, kommerzielle Einflusse, Frauenfussball und vor allem die Rolle der Massenmedien.

British and German authors analyse the changing face of football in England and Germany. The book addresses in particular the question of whether one can still speak, in the context of a globalised, postmodern game, of national football cultures that are clearly distinguishable from one another. Contributions in English and German examine a number of different phenomena such as the social background of fans, commercial influences, women’s football and above all the role of the mass media.
