    NAME: _________________________ A Numeracy and Literacy based workbook aimed at Upper KS2 Primary Level students. THE EUROS The UEFA European Championships (The Euros) is the main football competition contested by national teams in Europe. It has been held every four years since 1960. The host(s) nations qualify automatically, whilst all other teams gain entry by qualifying from groups drawn before the tournament commences. The 14 European Championships tournaments to date have been won by nine different national teams, with Germany and Spain winning three times each. France has won twice, whilst the Soviet Union, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Czechoslovakia have each won once. The Henri Delaunay Trophy is awarded to the tournament winners. It is named in honour of Henri Delaunay, the first General Secretary of UEFA, who is credited with conceiving of the idea of a European championship competition. He died five years prior to the first tournament in 1960. The most recent championship, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2012, was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 at the final in Kiev. The next European Championship will be hosted in France.

The implications of the Minimax theorem are tested using natural data. The tests use a unique data set from penalty kicks in professional soccer games. In this natural setting experts play a one-shot two-person zero-sum game. The results of the tests are remarkably consistent with equilibrium play in every respect: (i) winning probabilities are statistically identical across strategies for players; (ii) players’ choices are serially independent. The tests have substantial power to distinguish equilibrium play from disequilibrium alternatives. These results represent the first time that both implications of von Neumann’s Minimax theorem are supported under natural conditions. 1. INTRODUCTION During the last few decades game theory has contributed to a reshaping of important aspects of the methodology of Economics and other social sciences. In a large part this is because the language, concepts and techniques of non-cooperative game theory have become central to many areas of the discipline. Undoubtedly, studying the interaction of ideally rational players greatly aids our understanding of the behaviour of real individuals, firms and other agents. Moreover, as Kreps (1991) remarks, “studying the former should aim at understanding the latter. The point of game theory is to help economists understand and predict what will happen in economic, social and political contexts”. Theoretical contributions should thus feed back to empirical analysis.
