  • 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).

  • Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel
    POLICY BRIEF November 2005 ANTHONY BUBALO Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel. +61 2 8238 9140 [email protected] What is the problem? While Australian governments have successfully built pragmatic ties with Asian leaders, a popular dimension to our engagement with Asia has in many respects been missing. This didn’t matter greatly in the past, but today public opinion is increasingly a factor in foreign policy. Governments must influence individuals as well as elites to address global problems such as terrorism and disease and ‘branding’ has become critical to a state’s ability to attract trade, investment and international political support. But a new opportunity to deepen people-to-people links with Asia has arrived in the form of Australia’s recent admission into the Asian Football Confederation. For the first time, Australia will have a significant sporting relationship with Asia. The question is, how can Australia best use this opportunity to enhance its regional image and engagement? What should be done? Here are five ideas for how government, business and the broader community might leverage Australia’s new sporting relationship with Asia: • Football Federation Australia (FFA) should work with business and government to establish a ‘Football Asia Council’ to coordinate commercial, cultural, and public diplomacy programs with Australian participation in Asian football competitions. • FFA, business and government should launch a coordinated effort through this Council to develop football-based tourism and travel. • Austrade should establish a ‘Football Business Club Australia’ to facilitate commercial networking opportunities during matches between Australian and LOWY INSTITUTE FOR Asian teams. FFA should also consider initiating a tri-nations series with Japan INTERNATIONAL POLICY and South Korea, providing an opportunity for greater commercial, cultural, and 31 Bligh Street political engagement with these key countries.

  • Analysing the Restricted Assignment Problem of the Group Draw in Sports Tournaments
    Analysing the restricted assignment problem of the group draw in sports tournaments L´aszl´oCsat´o∗ Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) E¨otv¨osLor´andResearch Network (ELKH) Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE) Department of Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences Budapest, Hungary 23rd March 2021 Die Unvollkommenheit der menschlichen Einsicht, die Scheu vor einem ublen¨ Ausgang, die Zufalle¨ , von welchen die Entwicklung der Handlung beruhrt¨ wird, machen, daß von allen durch die Umstande¨ gebotenen Handlungen immer eine Menge nicht zur Ausfuhrung¨ kommen.1 (Carl von Clausewitz: Vom Kriege) Abstract Many sports tournaments contain a group stage where the allocation of teams is subject to some constraints. The standard draw procedure extracts the teams from pots sequentially and places them in the first available group in alphabetical order such that at least one assignment of the teams still to be drawn remains acceptable. We show how this mechanism is connected to generating permutations and provide a backtracking algorithm to find the solution for any given sequence. The consequences of draw restrictions are investigated through the case study of the European Qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. We quantify the departure ofits draw procedure from even distribution and propose two alternative approaches to increase the excitement of the draw.
