The Football Code outlines an innovative, ground-breaking philosophy that will change the way you watch the beautiful game. In a sport which is so largely dictated by randomness, how can we accurately assess the performance of teams, players and managers? How can we tell who is good and who is simply lucky? The Football Code teaches how a more scientific approach can eradicate the damaging effects of chance, leaving a clearer image of what is actually happening on the field of play. Only then can managers sign better players. Only then can pundits offer better judgements. Only then can fans compile better fantasy football teams. This book addresses the intrinsic errors and inefficiencies which plague the sport, whilst at the same time revealing the top secret methods that professional gambling syndicates use to predict future outcomes. Above all, it discloses the top secret, data-driven system that one football mastermind has used to make millions in the betting markets, and that has allowed the Championship team he owns to punch spectacularly above its financial weight. Football has finally found it's answer to baseball's 'Moneyball'. "Any fan who doesn't read this book will be left behind." - William Lund. "Unveils a revolutionary approach to the transfer market. Truly exceptional." - FootballNow. "A masterclass. The sport of football will never be the same again" - Levi Janssen.

This ambitious and fascinating history considers why, in the space of sixty years between 1850 and 1910, football grew from a marginal and unorganised activity to become the dominant winter entertainment for millions of people around the world. The book explores how the world’s football codes - soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic - developed as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass media, and the spirit of the age of the masses. Important reading for students of sports studies, history, sociology, development and management, this book is also a valuable resource for scholars and academics involved in the study of football in all its forms, as well as an engrossing read for anyone interested in the early history of football.

Football is also known as association football or soccer. The game is played across the globe in more than 200 countries by 250 million players. The sport is tremendously prevalent among the people; children and adults and is also deemed to be the most exciting games. The more famous and prestigious matches attract up to 100,000 people and more besides the millions who are glued to their television sets. It is one of the most popular games in the world. There are different forms of football which can be known in history, normally prevalent as the peasant games. Modern ciphers of football can be traced back to the nineteenth century when the systemization of games happened at English public schools. Football spread outside the boundaries of Britain as the British Empire expanded their area of rule. By the end of 19th century the distinctive regional code were emergent: for instance Gaelic football intentionally integrated the rules of local traditional football games to uphold their heritage. The Football League was founded in England in 1888, which was also the first of many professional football competitions. By 20th century many football associations were formed and became some of the most popular team sports of the world.

Black & Blue is the story of the Melbourne University Football Club - a club that featured prominently in the origins of one of the world's distinctive football codes even before rugby or soccer had codified their individual rules. It's a club that has made a significant contribution to the development of the code, as well as the profile of the institution to which it is affiliated: the University of Melbourne. Its players span generations of families whose names will be familiar, and who have gone on to make significant achievements on and off the field. The five authors, all experts in the field, have researched consecutive periods of the long history of the club, and have looked at the circumstances, events, players and personalities behind the fortunes of the teams and the evolution of the club. The appendixes documenting honours and achievements are a who's who of both football and the community in general. Black & Blue is the first comprehensive history of football at the University of Melbourne, and one of the few histories of any club spanning such a long period of time. It presents a fascinating and entertaining tapestry of change and illustrates the way Australian football, the university and its sporting life has adapted itself to social and cultural evolution over the years.

The book explores the intersection between the Great War and patriotism through an examination of the effects of both on Australia’s most popular football code. The work is chronological, and therefore provides an easy path by which events may be followed. Ultimately it seeks to shine a light on and provide considerable detail to a much-ignored period in Australian Rules football history, including women’s football history, that was subject to much upheaval and which reflected considerable social and class divisions in society at the time. One hundred years on, the Australian Football League presents past soldier footballers as unequivocal representatives of a unifying national ‘Anzac’ spirit. That is far from the reality of football’s First World War experience.

Well written and thoughtful. Takes us on a tour of some of Europe's most innovative football thinkers - Financial Times The future of football is now. Football's data revolution has only just begun. The arrival of advanced metrics and detailed analysis is already reshaping the modern game. We can now fully assess player performance, analyse the role of luck and measure what really leads to victory. There is no turning back. Now the race is on between football's wealthiest clubs and a group of outsiders, nerds and rule-breakers, who are turning the game on its head with their staggering innovations. Winning is no longer just about what happens out on the pitch, it's now a battle taking place in boardrooms and on screens across international borders with the world's brightest minds driving for an edge over their fiercest rivals. Christoph Biermann has moved in the midst of these disruptive upheavals, talking to scientists, coaches, managers, scouts and psychologists in the world's major clubs, traveling across Europe and the US and revealing the hidden - and often jaw-dropping - truths behind the beautiful game. 'A book full of exciting ideas and inside views on modern football. The most exciting book in an exciting time for football.' Thomas Hitzlsperger

You hold in your hand a passport to relationship success. You hold in your hand a ticket to the next two rungs on the corporate ladder. In your hand rests slavish attention from interesting strangers at the next weekend barbecue. You are now clinging tightly to the key to letting sunshine into your often bleak winters. How so? Australians are obsessed with sport. We live in a country where space, climate and the elements have conspired over the years to have us, well some of us, run about outside chasing and kicking things and each other. By and large, we are a physical people. And, brilliantly, with the current wall-to-wall television coverage of sport, we can also get our exercise by pushing the button of a remote control from the safety of the lounge. And it is the four major football codes that have us most obsessed; that personify our Australian-ness, yet also challenge the unity of our sports church. In summer, from Darwin to the Derwent, from Sydney to Subiaco, we all smear green-and-gold zinc on our dials and bellow for another pounding of English cricketers. We are as one. Yet in winter, our tribal nature emerges, like so much sun-deprived pale skin. Not only do we clan up to support our own team, we embrace a single code of footy and build a wall to keep out the invading enemy hordes. In recent years, though, blinkers have begun to drop from our eyes and exposure to all codes has resulted, as they continue to build national footprints. And so it is that even passionate fans can find themselves watching games featuring Lions, Dragons, Storms, Forces, Hurricanes, Jets, Mariners, Crusaders, Bulldogs, Swans, Magpies, Highlanders, Broncos and Glory, and struggle to work out who is running stupidly fast into whom. It can be confusing. Imagine, then, the despair of the partner to the rabid sports fan. Imagine the nervous rash emerging on the aspiring business partner invited to the corporate box to watch a game she's never understood. We have moved on from a mono-codal culture. Many people in this country are now unashamedly bi-codal. This book will help you to become so much more poly-codal.

"This is the first football history to chronicle year by year how playing rules developed the game. Football - a four-dimensional game of rushing, kicking, forward passing, and backward passing - has had more playing rule changes since its inception than any other sport. The Anatomy of a Game follows football rules from the game's European roots through its beginning in the United States to its position as the number-one spectator sport in the 1990s. Highlighted are details of the crisis years that changed the character of the game, with coaches and rules committee members the featured players. David M. Nelson, who served on the NCAA Rules Committee longer than Walter Camp, provides personal insight into all Rules Committee meetings since 1958, as well as an appendix - chronological and by rule - listing every change since 1876." "Ever since the first two human beings kicked, threw, or batted an object competitively, there have been playing rules. Games are mentioned in the Bible, and the Romans brought football's forerunner to Britain, from where it was exported to the United States. It was in the United States that college students decided to make their game rugby rather than soccer. Although the students invented United States football and made the first rules, their ruling power was eventually lost to the faculty, administrators, coaches, rules committees, and the NCAA." "Beginning as a brutal sport, football survived several crises before and after the turn of the century, eventually becoming respectable. The 1931 injury crisis split the high school and college rules and the same year the professionals went their own way, with rules largely based on spectator appeal." "Today the sport is a national treasure primarily because of its playing rules, over seven hundred in total, which make college football unique among the world's team sports. Moreover, football remains an American game, never having the same impact in other countries as do baseball and basketball." "Rules make the game, but people make the rules. Football survived the major crises that threatened the game because committee members adhered to the precepts that had governed football since its inception. The game began with an attempt to have a consistent code of justice, personal accountability, and equality. In some sense the playing rules are a type of moral precept that explains in the simplest terms what can and cannot be done. The Football Code, which first prefaced the rules in 1916, makes the game - more than any other sport - a moral one because it sets standards for coaching, playing, sportsmanship, and officiating."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
