I am a very stubborn person who is always very argumentative in football discussions but I always win. Implied in his coverage of the trophy laden Highbury years is the vital role played by David Dein, and it is clear that Cross believes that his departure from the board was a real loss for Wenger. In fairness to Ferguson, his hostility was always a positive sign for Arsenal and Wenger. John Cross has produced a balanced analysis of a manager who provokes quite extreme responses. As Cross rightly says though, how likely is it that a manager would survive at the top for 30 years and achieve all that Wenger has without at least some appreciation of the tactical side of the game? John Cross started his career working for the Islington Gazette, and it was there that he began to develop his unrivalled contacts at Arsenal. Arsene Wenger is fiercely private regarding both his personal and working life and that is why he is a fascinating subject. When Arsene Wenger arrived at Arsenal in , he was little known to fans at the club and many doubted he could bring back the glory days of George Graham. Theo Walcott has hit out at Arsenal 's mentality during the latter years of Arsene Wenger 's reign, claiming they were happy as long as they finished fourth.

    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

To overcome this challenge, we use data from professional soccer, where employees of the same club face different external career opportunities de- pending on their nationality. We test whether the career prospect of being selected to a Euro Cup national team affects players' pre-Cup performances, using nationals of countries that did not participate in the Euro Cup as a control group. We find that the Euro Cup career prospect has positive effects on the performances of play- ers with intermediate chances of being selected to their national team, but negative effects on the performances of players whose selection is very probable.
