<![CDATA[<p>Some scholar will end up writing about the willful tribute that armed bands pay to the hero universe.  In Sierra Leone, one of the top rebel commanders during the 1990s was called <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2000/08/junger200008?currentPage=6" target="_blank">Denis "Superman" Mingo</a>. War-torn Yugoslavia had its "<a href="http://www.un.org/icty/glance/vkovacevic.htm" target="_blank">Rambo</a>"; the same for <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E2DA113BF93AA25752C1A9669C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all" target="_blank">Sierra Leone</a>. </p>

<p>Rio de Janeiro too has its share of hero-obsessed thugs. One of the main "militias" in action in the western region of the city is called "<a href="http://odia.terra.com.br/rio/htm/milicia_bancava_mordomias_185273.asp" target="_blank">Justice League</a>" after the DC powergroup; its symbol is nothing but the batlogo. </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Garrincha (1933-1983) was one of Brazil's top football stars, second only to Pel&eacute;. As a player, he was chased and roughly tackled by defenders. Now, his statue at Maracan&atilde; Stadium falls prey to Flamengo supporters (although Garrincha also played for Flamengo, he made his name at Botafogo, a local rival). For the so-called <em>flamenguistas</em>, gently "slapping" Garrincha brings luck.  </p>

<![CDATA[<p>Face it: if you talk "football", you must mean low scores, hooliganism and 22 players running after a ball. That's if you wish to be understood by 95% of the world population. </p>

<center><strong>1- San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico</strong></center>

<p>Next to the border, you’d better get a <em>green card</em> to reclaim the ball from gringos up north.</p>

<center><img alt="mtmexicovale.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtmexicovale.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>2- Parauapebas, Brasil</strong></center>

<p>The rain forest? Kinda weak on defense.</p>

<center><img alt="mtparauuso.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtparauuso.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>3- Gaza City, Gaza Strip</strong></center>

<p>Hardball.</p>

<center><img alt="mtgazauso.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtgazauso.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>4- Goa, India</strong></center>

<p>Not about techno.</p>

<center><img alt="mtgoauso.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtgoauso.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>5- Mecca, Saudi Arabia</strong></center>

<p>Only 4 kilometers from the White Mosque, you might play football - yeah, only if you’re a Muslim.</p>

<center><img alt="mtmeecavale.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtmeecavale.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>6- De Cocksdorp, Netherlands</strong></center>

<p>Maybe the finest one. </p>

<center><img alt="mtholandavale.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtholandavale.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>7- Boquete, Panama</strong></center>

<p>Well, let’s say you live in a town called “Blowjob”.</p>

<center><img alt="mtboqueteuso.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtboqueteuso.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>8- Nuuk, Greenland</strong></center>

<p>Below 0º C, no big deal.</p>

<center><img alt="mtnuukvale.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtnuukvale.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>9- Mayotte, Indic Ocean</strong></center>

<p>French football, colonial style.</p>

<center><img alt="mtmayottevale.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtmayottevale.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>10- Mogadisho, Somalia</strong></center>

<p>A functioning league, a non-functioning country.</p>

<center><img alt="mtmogad.jpg" src="http://altovolta.apostos.com/archives/mtmogad.jpg" width="449" height="401" /></center>
<br>
<center><strong>11- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil</strong></center>

<p>The beautiful game, Flamengo’s tack.</p>

<![CDATA[<font color=#000000> Coffin Joe, Brazil's coolest cult horror director, has a TV show of his own. If you don't know who Coffin Joe (or Jos&eacute; Mojica Marins) is, I strongly advise you to read <a href="http://www.oneeyedfilms.com/Mojica.htm" target="_blank">this</a>. <blockquote>
His style is idiosyncratically primitive Latin American, low budget and highly ingenious, and his filmography counts over 60 films - amongst them several which were under censorship in Brazil for many years.</blockquote>Below, you can catch a glimpse of the debut episode. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles available, but you'll be able to feel the craziness of it all, as Coffin Joe lectures a class of detectives-to-be, in São Paulo.<br><br>
