France and Denmark produced the DENMARK FRANCE World Cup’s first 0-0 draw at the 37th attempt amid boos and whistles from 0 fans yesterday. 0 The slow-paced game was out of step with a vibrant tournament. But it advanced both teams to the round of 16 unbeaten, with the bonus of no players suspended and no serious injuries. The draw would always have ensured that outcome, and became inev- itable in the second half. Events else- where in Group C made this game all but irrelevant. Peru beat Australia 2-0 in Sochi at the same time, meaning the Danes would have advanced even if they lost to France before 78,011 at the World Cup’s signature Luzhniki Stadium. France, already sure to advance with two opening victories, goes into the round of 16 as the Group C winner and Denmark as runner-up. The two teams were happy, and so were the thousands of Denmark fans who stayed to dance and cheer in an empty stadium. Less happy were the neutral fans in the crowd. Many Russians cheered the host team’s name and whistled mis- placed passes and slow play as the game progressed with Denmark protecting its France’s forward Kylian Mbappe (centre) one point for a draw. controls the ball as he is marked by Denmark’s It was the longest a World Cup had defender Mathias Jorgensen during the 2018 gone without a goalless draw since 1954, FIFA World Cup Group C match at the Luzhniki a tournament of 26 games which all Stadium in Moscow, yesterday. delivered at least one goal.

This market is not studied as often as the residential, office or commercial real estate market segments, which is why it is worth paying more attention to it. The evolution of the approach to sport, followed by the investing and use of sports real estate as a valuable resource of high value, means that increasing attention is being paid to the sports real estate market. The research objective of the article is to analyse and identify key areas of sports facility management, which the success of events organized on such facilities depends on, as well as to examine the requirements for sports facilities. The research used a lot of source information on the scope and standards of sports facility management as well as good practices and recommendations in this area. The following research methods were used in the article: a method of critical analysis of the subject literature on both the real estate market andthe sports market, as well as a descriptive and comparative methods to identify the evolution of the main directions of sports property management in the real estate market.

    Sport / Dossiers sportifs L’argentine et le Portugal éliminés dès les huitièmes de finale Messi et Ronaldo, les premiers flops du Mondial © D. R. Les deux joueurs ont peut-être perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Lionel Messi et Cristiano Ronaldo ne se quittent jamais. Les deux meilleurs joueurs de la planète foot sont arrivés ensemble en Russie pour la Coupe du monde et vont devoir la quitter ensemble. Il n’y aura pas de choc entre quintuples Ballons d’or en quart de finale. L’Argentin était le premier à dire adieu à la compétition suite à un match à rebondissements face à la France, mais quelques heures après le Portugais l’avait rejoint en s’inclinant devant une rugueuse équipe uruguayenne. Les deux joueurs ont certainement perdu le Ballon d’or cette saison, une distinction qu’ils s’échangent depuis 2008, date de la première consécration de Cristiano Ronaldo. Depuis, le trophée changeait de main entre les deux joueurs. Messi s’est approprié les quatre suivants (2009, 2010, 2011 et 2012), repris par CR7 qui s’est adjugé deux consécutifs (2013, 2014), puis rebelote pour la Pulga (2015), avant que le Portugais ne remporte les deux derniers (2016, 2017). Une chose est sûre, le futur Ballon d’or ne sera ni Messi ni Ronaldo même si, en 2010, malgré une élimination prématurée en Coupe du monde, Messi avait remporté la distinction individuelle devant Iniesta et Xavi, champions du monde, ou encore en 2014, lorsque Cristiano Ronaldo avait bien soulevé le trophée en dépit de la victoire de l’Allemagne.
