It's Kick Off Time: Focus on Tactics, Not Statistics F O R THE PRIVILEGED FEW It’s Kick Off Time: Focus on Tactics, Not Statistics June 2014 www.mashreqgold.com mashreq F O R THE PRIVILEGED FEW 2014 FIFA World Cup Report 05 June 2014 It’s Kick Off Time: Focus on Tactics, Not Statistics We are pleased to launch our Special Report on the 20th edition of the FIFA World Cup 2014, which kicks-off on 12th June in Brazil, when the hosts face Croatia. The tournament will last for just over a month during which the 32 qualified teams will play a total of 64 matches in 12 cities, including the grand Finale on 13th July at the Maracana in Rio De Janeiro. We are sure you will be closely following the progress of your respective national teams, if they are playing in the tournament. Even if your national team is not involved in the action, we hope, either as neutrals or supporters of a team, you will be interested in the results. Brazil is staging the FIFA World Cup for the second time, the first being in 1950. Brazil and football are synonymous! Brazil is a football crazy nation. Since the first World Cup in 1930, only eight teams have won the title. Among them is five-time winner, Brazil, followed by Italy Moreover, Brazil is the only country to have participated in all 19 editions of this event. The country has produced some of the greatest players in the history of world football, including Pelé, Garrincha, Ronaldo and Kaká. Brazilian players have won the Ballon d‘Or five times in the past 15 years. Football is almost a religion in the country. In 1950, when Brazil lost the final match to Uruguay, a distressed fan committed suicide and three others died from heart attack. According to FIFA.com, the official site for the event, Brazilian fans purchased more than sixty percent of the tickets that went on sale online in mid-April 2014. World Cup likely to boost tourism in Brazil Several sectors, including civil construction, food and beverage, business services, and tourism and hospitality, are likely to benefit from the global event. In the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa, 3.2 million people attended the tournament. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism, 3.7 million people are estimated to travel across the country during the month- long tournament. Approximately 1.9 million fans are estimated to travel to the 12 Brazilian cities hosting matches and FIFA fan fests, while another 1.8 million visitors would travel to Brazil to enjoy the festivities around the World Cup. Moreover, an average foreign tourist would attend four World Cup matches and spend approximately USD2,488 during the visit. Overall, the Brazilian economy is expected to grow by USD3.03 billion, led by tourist inflow during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Minister of Tourism, Vinicius Lages, noted that the financial turnover in tourism may be more than double if the multiplier effect of indirect and induced financial transactions resulting from these visitors is considered. Brazilian government under criticism The government is estimated to have spent more than USD11 billion on World Cup preparations. Yet, there are delays in the completion of infrastructure projects and stadium constructions. According to market sources, the soccer stadiums in Natal and Porto Alegre still need work, while the Itaquerao stadium has not received approval from the fire department for the entire seating section. The stadiums were due to be completed last year. The delays have led to criticism from FIFA and angry protests have taken place in various cities over exceeding costs. Brazil’s national team under pressure to win Playing on home soil has its advantages, although Brazil has yet to win the tournament at home. Six host countries have won the title in previous editions: Uruguay (1930), Italy (1934), England (1966), Germany (1974), Argentina (1978), and France (1998). Brazil and Sweden were runners-up when they hosted the tournament in 1950 and 1958, while Chile (1962), Italy (1990), and Germany (2006) finished in the third place. It is interesting to note that a national team with a foreign coach has never won the World Cup. On 16 July, 1950, the entire nation mourned as Uruguay defeated Brazil in the finals. The match, termed as ―Maracanazo‖, is considered to be national tragedy and distresses the country to date. Accordingly, Brazil is under tremendous pressure given the high expectations from the country to win its first World Cup on home soil. Popular choice team, Champion, Runners Up and Award Winners We took inputs from our colleagues and clients over the last month and based on the number of votes polled for each player, we have come up with a Popular 11 (P 11). Furthermore, based on your votes, we also have the Champion and the Runners up for this edition, and winners of individual performance awards such as the Golden Ball, Golden Boot and Golden Glove. The response was overwhelming as we received entries not only from the GCC/MENA region but from Asia, Europe and North America as well. 2 It‘s Kick Off Time: Focus on Tactics, Not Statistics F O R THE PRIVILEGED FEW Venue Details 12 Stadiums of World Cup 2014 The stadiums are spread across the country‘s five regions, spanning 12 cities: capital Brasília, Cuiabá, Salvador, Fortaleza, Natal, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, São Paulo, and Curitiba.

  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).
