World Cup Philosophy Football: Pain and Pleasure

posted by Geoff Andrews at Saturday, June 12, 2010

In my first World Cup Philosophy Football slot on the Vic Minett show on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire I talked about the classical philosophical connection between pain and pleasure - will it be more pain for England supporters going out in another penalty shoot-out, or the ecstasy of a last minute winner? I also discussed Fabio Capello's comparison of wine making - 'when you make wine you don't always use the same grapes - and the ingredients needed in moulding a successful football team. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00867zn/Vic_Minett_11_06_2010/
