“Merci Pour Cette Belle Matinee Du Foot”

As people around the globe come together this month in Japan and Korea for the World Cup, the Boston Globe’s Tom Haines has taken the opportunity to look back at his own soccer-related travels. The beautiful game, he believes, has connected him in a special way with the people and places he’s visited. “Through a traveler’s serendipity, like walking into a London pub to find a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd watching the first England-Scotland match in nine years, or determined planning, like the detailed reading of French league statistics, an outsider can begin to know and even feel the power of the world’s game,” he writes. “Travel, across borders and into the action, provides the ticket.”
