GUERRILLA HISTORY
About this episode

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we end up continuing our informal and unplanned "Football" (soccer to those of you in the US and Canada) miniseries with our friend and comrade Alex Aviña!  Here, we discuss some of the Palestine related goings-on in the football world, as well as give a preview and make predictions for the Copa América and European Championships, which are getting kicked off at the time of this episode being released.  If you've not already heard our previous Football episodes with Alex, check out our first The Beautiful  Game, plus our newer World Cup: Sport, Politics, History, & Propaganda. We are sure that even those of you who are not super football fans will get a lot of use from these discussions!

Alexander Aviña is associate professor of Latin American history at Arizona State University and author of Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside. Alex's website is available at alexanderavina.com, and he can be followed on twitter @Alexander_Avina
