In Entre Nous Grant Farred examines the careers of international football stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, along with his own experience playing for an amateur township team in apartheid South Africa, to theorize the relationship between sports and the intertwined experiences of relation, separation, and belonging. Drawing on Jean-Luc Nancy's concept of relation and Heideggerian ontology, Farred outlines how various relationships-the significantly different relationships Messi has with his club team FC Barcelona and the Argentine national team; Farred's shifting modes of relation as he moved between his South African team and his Princeton graduate student team; and Suarez's deep bond with Uruguay's national team coach Oscar Tabarez-demonstrate the ways the politics of relation both exist within and transcend sports. Farred demonstrates that approaching sports philosophically offers particularly insightful means of understanding the nature of being in the world, thereby opening new paths for exploring how the self is constituted in its relation to the other.

In all beginnings dwells a magic force —  , “Stages”

Martin Heidegger knew nothing aboutMitsein. Martin Heidegger knew nothing aboutMitseinhe never had the because chance to see Lionel Messi, Football Club Barcelona’s star player, “being-with” his fans after a miraculous, come-from-behind Champions League victory in . Barça—as football fans the world over refer to the Barcelona team—had just emerged triumphant from its quarterﬁnal clash against Paris Saint-Germain () on Barça’s home ground. A philosopher, a double World Cup winner: a not-so motleycast of characters. The Barça- match will be dealt with, at some length, shortly, but for now it is Martin Heidegger who demands our attention. After all, to claim that Heidegger knows nothing aboutMitseinis little short of preposterous, a declaration that is philosophically unsustainable. No one, we can assert with absolute conﬁdence, knows more aboutMitseinthan Heidegger. But . . . let us tarry with the declaration a moment longer. Martin Heidegger, who in his boyhood days was a “useful left wing” in Meßkirch, his home town, and in his last years reportedly followed European football (Fußballto Hei-degger) keenly, knew nothing aboutMitsein. Heidegger knew nothing about Mitseinunfortunately for him, he died more than a decade before because, Leo Messi was even born. In his ﬁnal years Heidegger was (unsurprisingly, given his reputation for discipline) enamored of his countryman, the imperious Franz Beckenbauer. Nicknamed “Der Kaiser,” Beckenbauer commanded respect from teammates,
