Download or read book On Fairness Justice and VAR written by Jorge Tovar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the 2018 and 2019 men's and women's World Cups to understand how the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) affected each tournament. Unlike goal technology, where the decision is entirely left to the machine's algorithm, the VAR still has a human component, making it prone to errors and controversies. Building on the theories of justice, the book quantitatively reviews event-level data while using a historical perspective to depict a novel approach to the effects of VAR in major soccer tournaments. The six chapters examine the use of VAR, discuss when it was not used (but maybe should have been used), and explore how the World Cup evolved with the new technology. Combining the VAR events of 2018 and 2019 with comparable situations from past World Cups guides the reader into debating the meaning of justice and the potential of ever achieving fairness in soccer.

Features Presents the Bayesian approach as a unifying scientific method for a wide range of topics Suitable for a broad audience, including professionals, students, and academics Provides a more accessible, philosophical introduction to the subject that is offered elsewhere
Download or read book Football Place and National Identity written by David Storey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given its popularity, international football might be viewed as a prism through which the imagined community of the nation becomes closer to a manifest reality with matches providing examples of that community collectively rejoicing or crying. The sport potentially sheds insights on the complexities of ethnic and national identity, as it is a medium through which allegiances are (re)produced and expressed. Alongside the internationalisation of club teams, international representative teams also appear to be becoming more trans-national with players born outside that country, but with family connections to it, playing in the national colours. Increasing flexibility of regulations governing international representation means that countries can potentially select from a considerably broader pool of talent, drawing on players with ethnic or cultural connections to the country. For example, for a number of decades now, the Republic of Ireland team has included sizeable numbers of non-Irish born players, sons and grandsons of Irish emigrants. Similar tendencies are clear in the selection of English-born players of West Indian origin for football teams representing Caribbean countries. Colonial connections and related migration flows explain France’s selection of players born in places such as Algeria or Morocco but brought up in France. The successful French teams of the late 1990s and early 2000s drew heavily on players from a multiplicity of ethnic and geographic origins. Conversely, many African countries select French-born players of African origin thereby reclaiming some of the sons of their extensive diasporas and a sizeable number of players born in Europe have competed in the Africa Cup of Nations in recent years. In this way, historical colonial relationships and associated migration flows provide the backdrop to the more eclectic nature of national representative teams. Elsewhere this amalgamation of both civic and ethnic senses of national identity, has allowed teams like Turkey and Croatia to tap into their extensive emigrant pool. This book focuses on one dimension of the intricate connections between football, place and politics. It investigates the switching of national sporting allegiance by some footballers from their country of birth to country of residency or family origins, examines the reasons behind the recent growth of the phenomenon, and explores reactions to this.

Download or read book The French Art of Not Giving a Sh t written by Fabrice Midal and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to stop giving a sh*t! Be calm... Stop stressing... Embrace the universe... Try yoga... Be fulfilled... and that's an order! We're overwhelmed with these sorts of commands, and we often torture ourselves to "try harder," yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stop pushing ourselves to do what we think we're supposed to do, and instead simply allow ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate--to stop giving a shit, and just be. An international bestseller (now in English for the first time), The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t by Fabrice Midal explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses -- and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break. He gives readers permission to: Stop obeying -- you are intelligent Stop being calm -- be at peace Stop wanting to be perfect -- accept life's storms Stop rationalizing -- let things be Stop comparing -- be you Stop being ashamed -- be vulnerable Stop tormenting yourself -- become your own best friend Stop wanting to love -- be benevolent One of the world's leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life. It's OK, he urges us, to say no. It's fine to quit the things that don't fulfill you. It's necessary, in fact, to give ourselves a break and say, simply, c'est la vie. In The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t, Midal gives each of us permission to stop doing the things that don't make us happy ... so we have room in our lives for the things that do.

Book excerpt: When Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea in January 2021, few could imagine that a mere four months later he would be leading the club to victory in the UEFA Champions League final. Having inherited a misfiring team, he quickly remoulded them in his image, combining a spectacular attacking style of play with brilliant tactical thinking. But who is Thomas Tuchel? Fans of his former clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund would tell you he is one of the best football managers in the world. Innovator, tactician, superlative motivator and, sometimes, controversialist, Tuchel knows how to develop young players but also how to manage a dressing room full of superstars such as Neymar and Mbappé; and now Mount, Havertz and Werner. This is the definitive story of Thomas Tuchel and his footballing genius: from his beginnings as a football manager in Mainz to his successful but conflict-laden stint at Dortmund. From his glittering tenure at PSG, which was also marred by his fractious relationship with the club's hierarchy, to his arrival mid-season at Chelsea. This book introduces us to one of the most interesting figures in football today.

Download or read book The Internal Market Ideal written by Jeremias Adams-Prassl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internal Market Ideal honours the pathbreaking work of Professor Stephen Weatherill, Jacques Delors Professor of European Law at the University of Oxford since 1998. For more than three decades, Professor Stephen Weatherill has been the dominant figure in internal market debates, shaping the European Union's Internal Market both at Oxford and internationally. Looming large in fields as disparate as consumer protection and sports law, his voice has guided how relevant laws and regulations are understood and how their varying virtues and pitfalls are perceived. A reference to his seminal work The Internal Market as a Legal Concept (OUP, 2016), the present volume is not simply a celebration of Weatherill's life, but also an examination of the legal issues surrounding the semi-integrated market of the European Union. Across nineteen essays, the collection presents a vision of the European Union not yet achieved; that is, a Union which benefits from economic growth and pursues non-economic objectives, whilst carefully balancing respect for Member States' autonomy and the European Union's self-sufficiency. An invaluable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of European Law, The Internal Market Ideal, is a must read for anyone wishing to learn more about the illustrious life and work of Professor Stephen Weatherill.
