Xenophobia in Japanese Football

World Football

Available for over a year

The coach of Shimizu S-Pulse Afshin Ghotbi and the first American to play in the J-League Daniel Calichman, discuss the recent incidents of racism in Japanese football. Ivory Coast's Salomon Kalou looks ahead to the World Cup and talks about a possible return to the Premier League. And we remember the Football Battalion, a regiment of professional players who fought, and in many cases died, during the First World War. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
