Some of the Best World Cup storiesThere was a player who suffered a heart attack in the middle of a match, a defender who was murdered for defending his honesty after having committed the sin of scoring an own goal, a striker who preferred to die rather than serve Nazi propaganda, and numerous players who refused to leave the pitch despite having broken bones. In this fascinating, funny romp through almost a century of World Cups, esteemed sportswriter Luciano Wernicke chronicles the unforgettable crashes, the magnetic personalities, and the stunning records set in the global contest for supremacy in the most popular of sports.

Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Evita and Juan Peron, Augusto Pinochet, and Pablo EscobarSoccer has been the world’s most popular sport for the last century and an irresistible game for political and social leaders seeking shortcuts to the hearts of their people. Some of the prime movers of the twentieth-century, including Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Evita and Juan Perón, Augusto Pinochet, and the drug lord Pablo Escobar, have found in soccer a magnificent partner for enflaming patriotism, manipulating the masses, prolonging their stays on the throne, justifying aberrant acts, or simply recreating the old Roman “bread and circuses” (in many cases without the bread). They have tried to turn the beautiful game into something useful. Sometimes it worked, momentarily, but as renowned sports journalist Luciano Wernicke writes in this fascinating and original book, the game and its glories have survived them all.

This narrative of U.S. soccer's history and present-day status addresses the issues of socioeconomics. Emphasizing the differences between social classes in U.S. soccer past and present, as well as those between American soccer and international football, this work analyzes the role of class in American soccer's failure to carve out a more prominent place in the sports landscape. Contemporary soccer is explored from its beginnings in informal Parks and Recreation leagues to the development of formal club programs, and university, professional, and U.S. national teams. In recent decades, Hispanic leagues formed primarily by Mexican and Central American immigrants have reinforced the theme of a class-based, exclusionary space in U.S. soccer. A personal perspective based on the authors' experience coaching soccer at the informal level broadens the book's appeal.

This is the first book to look closely at the concept of 'risk' in elite and professional football from a social scientific perspective. Drawing on the wider sociological, criminological and management literature on risk, it shows how football helps us to understand global risk more generally in present-day society.The book explores how attitudes to risk have shaped the modern football business, and identifies those risks that pose a threat to the sustainability of football in the future. It draws upon the work of theorists including Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and Michel Foucault, as well as digital media sources and policy documents, and covers a range of topics, cases and themes including political, environmental and terrorism risks, technologies, the governance of fans and risk resistance.In the context of the social, globalized and commercialized realm of football, as well as a global pandemic that has had a profound influence on attitudes to risk, the book argues that modern societies' preoccupation with risk has transformed the ways in which modern football is played on the pitch, organized off the pitch, covered in the media and attended by fans.Including an extended case study of the 2026 World Cup, to be held in the USA, Mexico and Canada, this is a thought-provoking read for any student, researcher or policy-maker with an interest in football, sport, events, sociology, criminology or risk management.

The spread of COVID-19 and the consequent pandemic since early 2020 have brought about unprecedented changes in all spheres of global life, creating a new sense of (in)security with social distancing, physical isolation, quarantine and lockdown becoming buzzwords to combat the disease. As in all spheres of life, the first wave of the pandemic posed serious challenges to the world of soccer, with diverse and intriguing responses across the globe.This book documents the early impressions and initial responses of various stakeholders of the soccer world to the challenges of COVID-19 in 2020. It reveals how the process of confrontation, negotiation, adjustment and overcoming against such challenges necessitated and inspired novel responses and strong improvisations from soccer bodies to players, referees to spectators, and journalists to sponsors. This process has revealed abrupt as well as radical changes in the organization, rules, spectatorship and telecast of the game, thereby affecting the game's cultural dimensions, commercial prospects and political implications. The volume points out that the way soccer has adjusted to the 'new normal' standard of the 'COVID Regime' has elicited newer meanings and nuanced representations of the game.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Soccer & Society.

This full-color book with interactive videos provides a detailed tactical analysis of the defensive secrets of the world's best coaches. The "phase spaces", broken down in detail on these pages, are the key to the defensive success for Hans-Dieter Flick, Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp and Marco Rose. However, they are also essential when attacking since both actions are indivisible and interrelated in football. How do you arrange the height of your block and your positional scheme? What kind of pressure do the players exert? What is the team's attitude towards the opponent's first pass? How do they react to the opponent's progression through the center zone or on the wings? Dive into the answers provided by these top coaches. In addition, this book offers training activities so that the readers can use and adapt them for their own teams. These are exercises based on the situations analyzed in this book, with the objective of creating patterns of play so that the players can read and anticipate the movements of their opponents.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Ethik, Note: 3, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz (Katholisch-theologische Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Seminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dem 2005 aufgedeckten Skandal im Profifussball begann die Aura des fairen, unbestechlichen Schiedsrichter-Amtes zu bröckeln. Man wies Schiedsrichter Hoyzer die Beteiligung an Wetten, Absprachen und Manipulation des Spielbetriebs nach.Seit der Aufdeckung des damaligen Skandals kam Wettbetrug kaum aus den Schlagzeilen der Sportberichterstattung in den deutschsprachigen Medien. Mit der Liberalisierung des Sportwettenmarktes gelangte auch die Mafia auf den Plan und nützt die Online- und Offline-Wege, um Gelder aus dubiosen Geschäften zu waschen.Ein Resümee mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Vorkommnisse in Österreich.

Dar lo mejor de uno mismo, vivir al máximo, siempre orientados hacia la superación de los límites: los grandes campeones -los héroes de nuestro tiempo- encarnan nuestra necesidad de medirnos en base a desafíos, de superarnos, de vivir con intensidad y plenitud. Este es el propósito de la psicología del deporte. Giuseppe Vercelli, psicólogo de la Juventus desde 2011 y partícipe de diversos Juegos Olímpicos con deportistas de alto rendimiento, nos introduce en los pensamientos del campeón y nos muestra los mecanismos mentales, las relaciones con los demás y la actitud ante la realidad que favorecen la victoria, tanto en el juego como en la vida. El campeón es el que sabe asumir la responsabilidad de su mundo, de su éxito pero también de su fracaso, es el que sabe elegir y tiene el coraje de decidir escuchando sus propias sensaciones. Ganar, dice el autor, significa experimentar las mejores sensaciones posibles en ese preciso momento, buscando lo mejor de uno mismo. Un reto que todos queremos afrontar.
