Football
Voodoo is where soccer collides with sorcery from
players’ superstitions and
rituals, use of colour, symbols and invocation right the way up to
hiring mediums, witches and shamans to invoke curses in a bid to change
the course of a team’s fortunes. This is a world of hexed
grounds, unlucky shirts, magic horses and burying cattle under
goalposts. A place where managers urinate on corner flags, goalkeepers
in the six yard box and dog mascots on defenders.
