Long before YouTube became a channel in which to learn history, mathematics or it was a place where to be able to practice any subject there were some great types, Monty Python, which, based on imagination and passion, became immortal.
And that is how the match that was invented between Germany and Greece can be considered. A match that every philosophy student I could play and especially practice. In the images and especially in the speech, which is conveniently translated into Spanish, you can see the nuances of the narration of the time when it was important to tell what was happening in the field.
Monty's passion for football is remarkable because the goal he scores Socrates, the Greek striker, pass from Archimedes It is brutal. The translation of the football game to the philosophical terrain is fantastic, in which almost everything that happens is doubted, like good philosophers. A great script for a great performance and with an ending that did not happen in the quarterfinal match between Germany and Greece of Euro 2012. That game was enjoyed by the kids for the power and forcefulness of the Germans who behaved like a greasy and fearsome machine beating the Greeks by a slightly misleading 4 to 2.
In the link below I include access to the videos of Monty Python on YouTube. And it seems to me that they were fed up that their videos, with poor quality and past content of worn VHS tapes, ran on YouTube. So they invented the channel, posted their videos and already have more than 60 million views. Additionally, they linked with the sale of their products, which they have not updated since 1983, and increased their sales. That is, in some way, the Internet helps to enhance knowledge and disseminate products, and they are sold, especially if they are good as this great match of philosophy.
Note: When I write this, there is one hour left before the Spain-France Eurocopa 2012 match begins.
