Prestisjefulle Algarve Cup begynner på Eurosport denne uken, og for et Norge som jakter medalje blir det en tøff start den 4. mars når USA står på motsatt side. Sistnevnte vurderes som en av de største favorittene til å vinne VM i sommer og møtet blir derfor en god test for Norge. På tross av den tøffe starten er det ventet at Norge skal være med å prege turneringen.I tillegg til USA har Norge også Island og Sveits i gruppen sin, med kamper mot de respektive lagene den 6. og 9. mars. – Jeg tror vi har store sjanser til å gjøre det godt, og laget har sett bra ut i det siste. Folk er godt trent, og vi er på veldig god vei. Vi har et kjempespennende lag, fortalte Cathrine Dekkerhus tidligere i et intervju med Fotballen.no. Troppen landslagssjef Even Pellerud har ut til Algarve Cup inneholder få overraskelser, og inneholder blant annet Ada Hegerberg, Isabell Herlovsen, Solveig Gulbrandsen og Caroline Graham Hansen.

  • 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).

  • Super League, a Terrible Solution to Debt Crises
    SOCCER Super League, a terrible solution to debt crises SPORT 21-04-2021 Tommaso Scandroglio What could be more important than Covid? Football. Perhaps for the first time since the start of the pandemic, the main headline is no longer the coronavirus. Rather, a football- related news item is garnering the most press attention, after rumours have been circling for months. It is the announcement of a Super League. Twelve European clubs, including Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan, have stated their wish to launch a new European midweek competition that will replace all other inter-European matches for participating clubs. This is the list of Super League’s members: AC Milan, Arsenal, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham. Three more clubs will be added to the list of permanent founding members which will have the right to participate in matches and five more teams will be added on an invitational basis each season. In short, a closed-door and, therefore, elitist tournament, and not one based on merit has just been created. Criticism has been pouring in from all directions. FIFA speaks of a "closed European separatist league outside the international football structures" that does not respect "the fundamental principles of solidarity, inclusiveness, integrity and fair financial redistribution." FIGC president Gabriele Gravina said: "Football is about participation and sharing, not an elitist club." The head of the EU spokesmen's service, Eric Mamer, also issued a statement: "Sport and competitions should be organised in a way that allows openness to all participants, there should be solidarity [...] so that everyone can have the opportunity to play." An EU statement reads that "the [European] Commission defends a model of European sport based on the principles of autonomy, openness, solidarity and interdependence of international federations." European Parliament President, David Sassoli, lamented: "I am against football becoming the prerogative of a few rich people.

    MAXIMIZING COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF RALEIGH’S DOWNTOWN SOUTH PROPOSAL Caylin Bullock A capstone thesis paper submitted to the Faculty Director of the Urban & Regional Planning Program at Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies in fulfillment of the requirements for Masters of Professional Studies in Urban & Regional Planning. Project Advisor: Michael Stevens, AICP Academic Advisor: Uwe S. Brandes © Copyright 2019 by Caylin Bullock All Rights Reserved 1 ABSTRACT This paper explores a proposed large mixed-use development project in Raleigh, North Carolina as a case study to identify potential linkages between privately conceived urban development, community benefits, and the corresponding roles played by the private sector, municipalities and community stakeholders. Following a literature review and review of case study precedent practices, research was conducted through unstructured interviews with public and private stakeholders in Raleigh and analysis of project-based scenarios. This paper argues that when receiving proposals, cities must embrace partnerships to maximize positive community-based development outcomes. KEYWORDS Community Benefit Agreement (CBA), Equitable Development, Development Agreement, Public-Private Partnerships, Stadium Development, Raleigh, North Carolina RESEARCH QUESTIONS What are national best practices in the finance and development of large-scale mixed-use urban development projects comparable to the Downtown South proposal? In the case of Raleigh, how might the municipality more aggressively position its actions to ensure long-term equitable development outcomes for historically underserved community stakeholders in close proximity to the project? How might Raleigh institutionalize a project-based agreement as a binding and durable governance structure for future development projects? 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .........................................................................................................................

    Integrated Sports Media Distributing ‘True Brit: Froch vs. Mack’ Live on PPV Nov. 17 in United States HOBOKEN, N.J.
