Nationalism And Indonesian Football

Is there a direct link between nationalism and the value of a nation's football accomplishments?For universialis view, nationalism is understood that began encroached times. Social scientist Anthony Giddens never mentions politics, so the era of the Cold War to the post-modern era emerging regional alliance as one of the most significant markers. Emerged was the European Union. Border (frontier) began to be erased and childbirth limit (border). Physically, the border lines between nations have disappeared and there are only restrictions are difficult to assess by naked eyes.In the football world, the European Union gave birth to a policy that was never imagined our uncle generation: Decree Bosman. After 1995 European football hurriedly adopted a new definition of "foreign players". Under the rules that began as a dispute between a Belgian player and his club, the status of the foreign players were no longer judged on his passport. Players from EU member states are free to earn a living in fellow member states. Protection collapse, foreign players - the EU country of origin or not - was flooded European competition.Nationalism or nationality understand the apparent similar items. Formless and exist only in the minds of many people's heads. Benedict Anderson said the community of nations is formed socially and created the perception of those who are in it. The nationality principle gets wider political place when people make up the country.Football also provide space for the occurrence of competition between nations or states one through the system sports championship known since the skin round the global epidemic.In most small space occurs when Indonesia took part in the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010. Coincidence or not, Indonesia started the tournament as well end it with a face Malaysia. Relations between Indonesia and Malaysia are like two other neighboring countries in the world. Blamed each other, compete with each other, jealous of each other, but actually need each other.
Malaysia in many ways actually admire Indonesia. In a conversation with a friend from the neighboring countries in Kuala Lumpur two weeks ago, the young generation of Malaysia actually recognize the benefits of the various products of Indonesian culture. Unfortunately, Indonesia does not see it as a phenomenon of hegemony but rather think of it as an exclusive product.But, on the football pitch managed to beat Indonesia Malaysia in two meetings. If the people of Indonesia celebrate the achievement of the national team in the AFF Suzuki Cup with bells and whistles, as well as the Malaysian society. If the political interests of football in Indonesia put the main stage, so is the case with Malaysia. Why football is considered successful inflated nationalism throughout the tournament was held.
Nationalism that has been left among postmodernists remain an important item for the third world countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. If you view the modernization theory of Anthony Giddens, who knows how many stages are in Indonesia today. Not a feudalistic primordial state, but nevertheless did not take off. Human consciousness, as Karl Marx a while, depending on the means of production are wearing. For Marx, human consciousness is necessary for progress. Indonesia and Malaysia, during the AFF Suzuki Cup, turns toward "progress" different.
In Malaysia today, the nationalism is an important issue. In the past year the Government diligently propagate the campaign "1Malaysia", which aims to unify the various clumps culture - especially the three major ethnicities: Malay, Chinese, and Indian. Mother still familiar to everyday people because not all Malaysians can speak Malay Malaysians and not all fluent in English.The opposition campaign thinks "1Malaysia" aims to perpetuate the status quo regime generation and you know the language used for the Malay media mentions the word "opposition"? "Dissident". In Indonesian, the two words have different connotations. In short, for Malaysian unity is an important issue.
Long before the AFF Suzuki held, the Government of Malaysia include soccer in the national education curriculum. A number of academic facilities plus football established in some states - the latest in the state of Pahang. The system is also coaching young players supported the local football federation policy (FAM) which prohibits the participation of foreign players in the national competition.When the tournament was held, national euphoria when Malaysia began terpantik successful overthrow defending champion Vietnam 2-0 in the first semi-final in Kuala Lumpur. When the second game was held in Hanoi, Prime Minister Dato 'Sri Mohammad Najib seeks to embrace the young generation of Malaysia to come to the arena to watch together directly in the Bukit Bintang area. Without doubt Najib sitting cross-legged with hundreds of other spectators watching the big screen until the game is up.

 As champions, the fair celebrated by the Malaysian Government would dismiss the last day in 2010 for partying welcomed their first title in the tournament's interstate Southeast Asia. Football is considered as the pride with Malaysians. All ethnic blend into one in the Malayan tiger team celebrating success. Malaysia has the right to celebrate his victory.Indonesian live tournament with a full color, failed despite the title favorites. PSSI even celebrate the accomplishments of the team too early to give a bonus after the semi-finals and invite the whole team around off the football field. PSSI utilize awareness in Indonesia to support the national team by forcing them to queue for hours ticket. Ticket prices far above the cost of everyday living in Jakarta, but enthusiasts still booming. In our country, the issue of nationalism instead driven toward a particular interest.

 Progress Indonesian football as was apparent. High public enthusiasm is still regarded as evidence of the rise of nationalism, but it was not unlike a mere discourse. As one spectator as the tournament progresses, "Want to defend none other than Indonesia, no matter how depraved this country football system."Support the Indonesian national team's problem is a reasonableness. We can never judge a person's level of nationalism. For example, when the discourse players echoed descent and naturalization, not least because the booing ratio of the number of people using the excuse of "native" Indonesian national team squad members. Or when Boaz Solossa was nevertheless omitted due to join the training camp in Jakarta, the bustling questioned his nationalism.Some feel quite nationalist with present watch in Senayan and sing Indonesia Raya together. Indeed no less nationalist also the garbage cleaners who clean the Senayan sports complex after the match was held.
Discourse of nationalism that is often used tends to be counterproductive because it creates barriers between the same and different. It is far from lofty ideals form a civil society that has an inclusive character. And football will not be able to be used as an absolute dose assess nationalism, vice versa.Duet writer Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski concluded, organizing big tournaments like the World Cup can not be expected to present a true profit or create a new awareness of nationalism negaa organizers. See how South Africa must spend heavily to host the 2010 World Cup, when the same amount could be allocated to provide housing facilities for the poor. However, there are factors that are also considered important, hosted the World Cup can bring happiness.
Indonesian people are flocking packed Senayan at the end of last year did not seek to prove their nationalism. However, they are actually looking for happiness on the pitch. They are even willing to buy it though happiness ticket prices soar into the determination of rounds.Appearance of the Indonesian national team players who heroically during the AFF Suzuki Cup has actually been able to makes society; but if it is felt there is something jammed happiness we enjoy the skin round, there must be something wrong with the country's football authorities.
