Surprise: Arsenal vs United is a Big Deal in England (and Nevada)
I am trying to remember if Paths of Glory by Stanley Kubrick has any soccer references or footage of enlisted men playing soccer. I can’t recall. But if modern sports are a metaphor of doomed warriors fighting over ant hills, then at least Arsenal and Manchester United can say they are taking the scenic – and less bloody – route in 2019.
