  • Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
    From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then.

  • Valbuena on Track for World Cup Role
    Sports FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2014 47 Iran promise a battle to fancied World Cup foes STEGERSBACH: Iran will start the World Cup as rank out- siders but their players have vowed to make life tough for their fancied opponents in Brazil. “No game is going to be easy for us,” midfielder Andranik Teymourian said at a train- ing camp in eastern Austria. “But playing against Iran is not going to be easy for any of the opponents,” he warned. The Islamic Republic start their fourth World Cup finals in Group F against Argentina, Nigeria and Bosnia. They have never made it past the first round and are widely predicted to struggle this time. Iran won just one point at their last appearance in Germany in 2006 with a draw against Angola. Their previous World Cup outings were in 1978 and 1998. They have a record of one win, two draws and six defeats from nine World Cup matches. They head to Brazil, however, having topped their Asian qualifying group ahead of South Korea-a fact the players will not let anyone forget. “This shows the enormous fight- ing spirit shown by the players, proven in the qualifications, and the fact that we could qualify is an absolutely tremen- dous achievement for our team and I personally hope that we can be one of the favorites also,” said Teymourian. Iran, coached by former Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz, want to use the World Cup stage to defy their 37th place on FIFA’s rankings and prove their worth. “That’s like a window TERESOPOLIS: Brazil’s Ramires (center) and Neymar (second from right) fight for the ball during a practice session at the for all the world, all the countries can see it, so we’re going Granja Comary training center in Teresopolis yesterday.

Sawyer, Co-Chair This dissertation situates the emergence of revolutionary resistance in Pahlavi Iran in parallel with the emergence of neoliberal political rationality in the Middle East. In the process, it theorizes neoliberalism anew. Through an engagement with archives of social practice in Iran and its diaspora between 1968 and 1979, neoliberalism is presented as a political rationality that involves rhetorical disavowal at root ¾ what I refer to as indeterminate governmentality. The study employs parallelism as a theoretical construct reflecting the logic of the revolutionary transformation and periodic shift at hand. The disavowals considered include renderings of a collective on individualist terms; formations of solidarity through empathy; and orientations toward order in the production of disorder. The archival material considered includes state documents; activist records, ephemera, and publications; theoretical texts; literature; popular cinema; periodicals; and ethnographic interviews.
