Sim-Soccer: A Windows Dollhouse

A diorama about cyber-sports imagination and why/how it captures our modern interests in orchestrated data.

A great homage to capitalism and video-games imagination in honor of this 20th-anniversary year of 9/11, inspired by the unusual game Pro Evolution Soccer Management (Konami). Hope you like it (and thanks so much for reading!),

DISCLAIMER: I have no personal/official ties to any specific game/club mentioned in this work-of-fiction which only represents a social conversation about inventive distancing.

Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) is an intelligence-operationalist with Interpol-relations working with guerrilla-operations in economically striated Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) to work with piracy-gem traffic destabilizing overground commercial relations between sectarian groups. He's become a 'cyber-nerdist' of net-highways regarding underground diamond-matrix communications in modern Europe, and he studied world capitalism at Dartmouth (USA).

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): As co-captain of the new world group F-IRA, I'm create cyber-dialogue about diamond-sales!

However, Satan's also a wealthy inheritor-prince from Algeria who uses his incredible fortunes to invest in Euro-soccer clubs/organizations, creating cyber-forums/groups talking peace between cultures/nations in this age of commerce-driven network-dialogue. Soccer is an ultimate sport of networking/media in Europe, which is how Satan's become a soccer-simulation marketing/management video-game aficionado, borrowing from society images of Euro/UK-soccer designs.

STORM-SHADOW: The value of Europe in the modern world is linked to images on the Net regarding tourism-design.

All this 'cyber-tourism' talk in Europe ironically reflects 'real' dialogue regarding nation-culture bridges in this age of commerce-driven networking. As soccer's become a Euro-arena for high-talk about commerce-driven peace, Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) works with a special video-game soccer-club management software (video-game) to re-present his real-life 'James Bond' work in modern Europe regarding capitalism reorganization, diamond-media, and sports-dance!

STORM-SHADOW: There's a rich tradition in the West regarding re-presentations of social sports activity in video-games!

It's true; computers, video-games, and the general 'cyber-highway' has come to re-present socialized ideas (and daydreams!) about 'synthesized' Utopias (or paradises!) symbolizing a 'technic' vision of constructed social networks, activities, and even governance itself.

STORM-SHADOW: For example, SimCity-Europe is a fantastic foray for youngsters interested in continental commerce art.

So now, our protagonist blood-diamond 'James Bond' (Storm-Shadow, Amlan Satan) is working with a special cyber-game developing Euro-club marketing/management skills/talks regarding sports (soccer) inventiveness, inviting American youngsters in the West to appreciate and understand what makes world-soccer such a social activity representing modern daydreams about commerce/network/media-driven peace..and dollars!

STORM-SHADOW: Today's economics/capitalism students may be engaged in 'synthesized' models of globalism-dialogue.

So, Storm-Shadow's using this Euro-soccer club marketing/management software (video-game!) to celebrate and create arenas/forums for social talks regarding the 'applied social sciences' of economics and sports-management dialogue in the area of soccer intelligence, and arguably its relation to Euro-capitalism governance!

STORM-SHADOW: These 'synthesized' soccer-clubs in this video-game (La Liga, Serie A, etc.) is Monopoly (Parker Brothers)!

Of course, Storm-Shadow's real-world favorite club-soccer team 'analogy' is La Liga (Spain) diadem Valencia, an awesome team that's boasted a 2001 Champions League final appearance, the 2004 UEFA Super-Cup trophy, and the 2018-2019 Copa Del Rey title, challenging the greats from Germany and Portugal and elsewhere. In fact, Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) considers some of the stars in modern Valencia rosters (Aimar, Villa, Silva) great 'messengers' of the modern dance of world/club-soccer governance!

STORM-SHADOW: I have these special self-identified 'Valencia' running-shoes (for personal design!).

Valencia's David Villa (of Spain) for example had led his mighty national soccer team to the World Cup 2010 title, having marshaled his team with great diligence/consistency to worthy 1-0 mud-victories over rivals (e.g., Portugal/Netherlands). This is the sort of world-market/media that makes Storm-Shadow's new cyber-game Euro-soccer management forum/play re-presentative of an emerged new millennium consumerism. This isn't just a toy...it's real democracy!

STORM-SHADOW: Managing a 'synthetic' or 'virtual' Euro-soccer club team like Valencia reminds one of government itself.

Valencia's successes are part of the huge private-work inspiration of this real-life James Bond who uses the histories of the Spanish (La Liga) club-soccer team to 'simulate' or 'recast' sports-management imagination and architecture.

STORM-SHADOW: Soccer fans outside America comprise some of the greatest spirits in social activity in broadcast-media!

In fact, soccer in America is mostly in popularity/appeal in the arenas of regional youth-leagues, high-school sports, and collegiate tournaments, while the men's and women's US national soccer teams are confined mostly to World Cup achievement/aspiration chatter on the modern Net. It remains a 'youthful' conversation in America!

STORM-SHADOW: A 'fanzine' image of now-legendary Messi (Argentina) holding a jersey of his idol Aimar of Valencia is DNA.

When Storm-Shadow returns to his 'James Bond' (F-IRA) blood-diamond work in the UK, destabilizing blood-diamond piracy-traffic threatening all this modern overground commerce-media/talk, he's thinking once more seriously about bank safe-box lifts targeted to undermine baron-controls over black market capitalism, and he considers himself an 'acrobat' of fortune-swaps...and demo-governance.

STORM-SHADOW: This video-game about Euro-soccer club management dialogue re-presents all my work with capitalism!

As soccer gains in world-appeal thanks to all this broadcast-media, new age cinema, and youth-fanfare, Storm-Shadow reflects on the growing relevance of his soccer-club management video-game dialogue on the modern Net.

STORM-SHADOW: The World Cup soccer event and the fanfare it's generating will be anthropologically viewed as beauty!

Storm-Shadow has a dream one night in which he's challenged by an 'adversarial' and symbolic antisocial 'Gold Dragon' who might challenge his newfound idealism regarding capitalism-governance. This is a terrific conversation representative of Net-intelligence and governance intuition, really!

STORM-SHADOW: This cyber-work re-presents our socialized dreams of capitalism.
GOLD DRAGON: Your video-game spirits really recast ideas about synthetic Utopia.
STORM-SHADOW: Soccer is a real world-sport signifying images of network-dialogue!
GOLD DRAGON: Well, soccer won't become a 'panacea' for terrorism and capitalism-tremors.

STORM-SHADOW: Well, I do think this sort of cyber-energy reflects the education behind commerce.

GOLD DRAGON: Media/Internet won't replace street-sports..or regional biases!
STORM-SHADOW: Well, bias is natural in globalism, but cyber-networks construct shared ideas.

GOLD DRAGON: Well, Euro-soccer has as much ambition frailties as any other commercial enterprise!
STORM-SHADOW: True; but we use this cyber-arena to re-erect the ideas behind shared democracy.
GOLD DRAGON: True; and ok; but can you use video-games to create 'real' drama?
STORM-SHADOW: Sure; isn't that the 'energy' behind Monopoly (Parker Brothers)?
GOLD DRAGON: I suppose your Valencia video-game fascination reflects the 'real-estate' of diamonds. 
STORM-SHADOW: Our shared 'vision' is one of coordinated dollars, sense, and real dates!
