Manchester United the Global Brand and Club History

Manchester United are from a neutral perspective the cream of English football. Unlike some of their closest rivals they are a worldwide brand. This is something that Chelsea owner Roman Abromovich is trying to achieve. They are based at Old Trafford in Manchester otherwise known as 'The Theatre of Dreams' which is one of the biggest stadiums in the country and also Europe. Manchester United play in red and have acquired the nickname 'Red Devils' as a result. Manchester United are said to have around 300 million supporters worldwide which accounts for roughly 5% of the global population. It is estimated that 95% of Manchester United supporters have never been to Old Trafford. They are rumoured to be the richest club in existence.

Manchester United football club have an absolutely staggering amount of trophies and silverware to their name. They have won no fewer than 5 European trophies which includes one international cup, one European super cup, two European champions cups, and one cup winners cup. Domestically the side has a truly remarkable record too claiming 12 domestic cups and 16 Premier League trophies. Few sides in history can be proud of such a record. The club is managed by Sir Alex Ferguson who is considered to be one of the best managers in today's game. United fans would not want to see anyone else at the helm of their pride and joy.

Manchester United are currently owned by American businessman Malcolm Glazer. Glazer made investments in the club back in 2005 but it took him a further year until he has able to gain ownership. He is estimated to have paid a massive $1.47 billion to get his hands on the squad. Glazer had to win the approval of both the directors of Manchester United and even more difficult the fans. He had a difficult time with the directors as the deal is said to have made Manchester United $850 million poorer but an even tougher job with the fans. Fans do not want to see their team in the hands of a tycoon and were fearful of the future under Malcolm Glazer. Initially many fans protested by not renewing their season tickets and songs about Glazer can still be heard today around the stands.

Today the club seems to be moving forward faster than it has ever done before. In 2006/2007 season Manchester United reclaimed the Premier League title from their arch rivals Chelsea and in 2008/2009 won both the Premiership title and also the UEFA Champions League. The fan base is growing at an alarming rate and thanks partly to the fortunes and developments of Malcolm Glazer the club can bring in some of the best players on the world stage. It is thought that for the foreseeable future Manchester United will remain one of the greatest names in world football.

Soccer, Sales and the Quality of the Product

... Excuse me, it's again about the World Cup ... but it seems more real than life itself:

After beating Holland and England, Portugal is finally stopped by France. A very important detail matters. The French style also helped, but most of all, Portugal's productivity wasn't just enough; they were too much focused on sales.

• Sales and football? In a normal game each player tries to be productive. Sales and football is about convincing (the referee) that you have been hurt by your opponent. The best sales deal is when you fake a tackle in the penalty area and you receive a penalty you didn't deserve.

The match between the Dutch team and Portugal was a big shame. For those of you who have seen it will understand. Besides the 16 yellow cards and four reds, there was no productivity. Instead both teams were competing for a golden globe - who's the best actor in faking being tackled (in the penalty area) or hurt when not even touched. Both teams excelled in this. But Portugal won (and they deserved it).

England, that met Portugal after the Dutch, was obviously not prepared for this of game. Rather than sticking to their own rules they were distracted and lost because of lack of discipline. Most of this could be set on account of one player, receiving a red card when the team cannot afford it:
"It is not the first time that the 20-year-old has let his temper get the better of him to the detriment of his team."(from "Red card and penalties sink England against Portugal" - http://www.desifans.com/news/2006988)

Now the detail. This happened just now, when Portugal played against France. For the detail you had to observe Zidane the captain of the French team. He embraced Figo who he knows very well for they both played in Real Madrid. This little understanding that initiated Zidane was not without a meaning. Zidane - a real gentlemen - hinted the captain of the Portuguese team to a fair play. An important detail.

The sales was not out of this game however. Many tried to fake a fall in the penalty area, but besides this, there were no real incidents. Other than a real tackle by the Portuguese which led to a real penalty.

From that moment onward, the productivity of the Portuguese team wasn't sufficient; although they tried, they didn't get even.
The (business) lesson from all this is that in the end, the quality of the product beats the sales energy.

Do not try to sell (a quality) that you can't produce.

Present from your Sudanese brothers, especially for Amr Adeeb Egypt-Algeria in football spat Algeria beat Egypt 1-0 in Sudan to qualify for the World Cup finals in South Africa [AFP] Egypt has recalled its ambassador to Algeria after World Cup qualifying football matches between the two countries resulted in a number of outbreaks of violence. Cairo called the ambassador back home on Thursday for "consultations" after earlier summoning the Algerian ambassador to express "extreme displeasure" at attacks on Egyptian fans.

Algeria beat Egypt 1-0 with local police saying that there was little violence due to the massive security operation mounted. "There were minor incidents, four people were lightly wounded," Abdel Majid al-Tayeb, the Khartoum police chief, said.

T20 World Cup Cricket

What will the status of the winners be when they emerge victorious from the tournament this month? It might sound an odd question, but think about how absurd it would be in any other sport. Imagine that six months after the FIFA World Cup, another tournament, also called the World Cup, was played with pretty much the same teams fielding pretty much the same players in a pretty similar tournament format with pretty similar viewing figures (both at the grounds and on the telly), but with 45-minute matches rather than the full 90.

I'm not questioning the existence of T20, because I love cricket, and I understand that this ultra-intense, short format of the game means people can watch a whole game in an evening after work; it gives the game more appeal, more coverage, more peak-time advertising opportunity and hence, more money. It's also a great spectacle.

I just think its going to be weird when there are two world champions of cricket.

Test cricket is, of course, an altogether different kettle of fish; tactics and gameplay are wholly different from the one day game. The length of time matches take, and the massive possibility of draws, means that a ranking system is the only way to produce a 'world number one team', whereas 50 overs-a-side lends itself to definite results in the finite time of a tournament. 20-20 is very much like 50-50 in its style and ethos: score as many runs as you can as quickly as you can; restrict as many runs as stingily as you can. It, too, can be played in a tournament, which is why we have this second 'World Cup'.

The winners will, therefore, claim to be world champions of cricket, and the best in the shortened version of the game. But the Australia team that lifted the World Cup in the West Indies a few months ago already claim that title. And 'Twenty20 world champions' doesn't really mean anything, at least yet: so few T20s are played internationally (England have played the most in history with a grand total of 6; India have played just 2) that no-one will really care. Also, the games are so short that a second-rate international team could conceivably lift the trophy. The flaws in a Zimbabwe side could perhaps be papered over for three hours at a time that would undoubtedly cause a collapse over a whole day or more. What if a 'minnow' wins the whole thing? They are played so infrequently by the test-playing nations that the 'world champion' label will be redundant until they play the tournament again.

One solution would be to have an annual or biennial T20 tournament, outside of which international T20 is not played. Then it would be clear that T20, while popular and important, is not of the same caliber and class as the official cricket world cup, in the same way that the Six Nations is keenly contested every year, but with the winning side not making any pretensions to overall global superiority. Maybe the difficulties will disappear as T20 establishes its niche. But the simplest solution this time round, to avoid any argument or confusion, would be if Australia won the danged thing. Doubtless they will oblige.

David Beckham

David Beckham, born David Robert Joseph Beckham, was born on May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, London, England. His parents were Ted Beckham, a kitchen fitter, and Sandra West, a hairdresser. His parents, big fans of Manchester United, reputably the most popular football team in the world, may have had quite a bit of influence on the talented man during his early years.

He attended Bobby Charlton's football school in Manchester, where he won a spot in a training session at FC Barcelona when he was a boy. At the age of 11, he was Manchester United's mascot for a match against West Ham United. He was captain of the English national team from 2000 to 2006, and he played midfield for clubs in Manchester, England, and Madrid. Last year, he began to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy team, which began July 1 and is expected to last for five years.

While he was with Manchester United, he helped them win the Premier League. He is married to Victoria Beckham, better known as Posh Spice (of the group, the Spice Girls), with whom he has had three sons: Brooklyn Joseph (named after the city where Victoria found out she was pregnant with him), who was born in 1999, Romeo James, who was born in 2002, and Cruz David (who was named in honor of the family friend, Tom Cruise), who was born in 2005.

David Beckham is not just a prestigious football player; his name is also an elite advertising brand known all over the world. Though his resume is not as long or as star-studded as some other famous football players, he is still one of the most popular in the world today.

As can be seen in any iconic athlete, David Beckham is a prime example of a role model for teenagers and young football players all over the world. Let's hope he can live up to those standards.

World Cup 2010 in South Africa

The South Africa World Cup Preparations are on track! The 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee met this week and announced that all stadiums are on schedule and outstanding disputes regarding a new stadium in Cape Town at Green Point have been resolved. Concerns that the World Cup venues in Durban and Cape Town may run over budget have also been addressed with all stadia now coming in on budget. All the 2010 World Cup stadiums are set to be completed by October 31st 2009.

It was also announced that Durban will play host to the 2010 World Cup qualifying draw. This will take place at Durban's International Convention centre on November 23rd 2007. Preparations for the first World Cup on the African continent are already well underway, despite the last World Cup having been less than a year ago. The qualifying draw will be the official launch of the tournament and will be broadcast live to over 200 countries.

It has been said that South Africa is further along with preparations than Germany was at the same stage before the last World Cup. There were rumours that Australia would take over the role as host to the World Cup. Sepp Blatter, FIFA president, denied these rumours. He assured the world that this speculation was wrong and the tournament would remain in South Africa.

The 2010 World Cup will run from June 11th until July 11th. 13 European nations, 5 Asian and Oceania teams and a total of 8 qualifiers for the American continent will contest the tournament. Hosts, South Africa, qualify automatically. They take their place alongside 5 other African nations.

Neighbouring countries may be brought in to provide base camps for competing nations with Mozambique, Angola and Namibia possibly under consideration.

The 2010 World Cup will be held in South Africa after FIFA decided to host the competition on the African continent for the first time. South Africa won the nomination from unlucky bidders Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Libya.

9 cities will host the games. Johannesburg, which will have two venues, will stage matches along with Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane and Rustenburg.

Who Will Win the 2010 World Cup?

Here's who could win the World Cup.




1. England have the expectations of the whole country behind them, and on their day are definitely contenders. With the best players on top form, England will be hard to beat.



2. Italy are the holders, and will definitely want to retain it. The Italians are substance as well as style, and are known for their defending as well as going forward. If their forwards are playing well, and scoring goals, then they might just retain the World Cup.



3. Everyone in the world has high expectations for Brazil, and even more so in Brazil itself. With a proud World Cup history, and some of the best players in the world, Brazil will be looking to book their place in the Final.



4. Germany are England's old foe, and are still a strong team that work well together and score goals. Some of the German players have experience of playing in Spain, Italy and England, and so will know what to expect from their opponents in the later rounds.



5. Argentina are another proud footballing nation with a great history. Although forever remembered for Maradonna's infamous Hand Of God goal, they still have the players, the skill and the Latin flair to go far this time.



6. Spain have always seem to have the players, yet have famously underachieved in previous tournaments and other games when it mattered. Still, they are the Euro 2008 winners, and so they might well be able to carry on and win the World Cup too.



7. Another side with the skill and the players is Portugal. With some of the most gifted players in the world, and experience of playing in different countries for some of the biggest clubs in the world, there's no shortage of passion and pride in the Portuguese team.



8. The Netherlands revolutionised football in the 70s and 80s and although they haven't been as strong in international football recently, they still could provide a few upsets, and progress further than expected



9. France are excellent on their day, and many of their players are well known to English football fans. Like the Netherlands, they haven't done as well as expected after their 1998 World Cup win, but could this be their year?



10. As well as the obvious countries this year, it might be an outsider like Nigeria, the Ivory Coast, Paraguay, South Korea, or Denmark that wins the 2010 World Cup. Players from the African nations, as well as the South American countries are often found playing in Europe for the best teams, and so their national teams are getting better all the time.



Now you know that almost any nation could win the World Cup this year, who will you support?



If you're looking for somewhere to watch the World Cup, your local Revolution bar is the ideal place. With big screens to watch the match on, excellent food and drink offers, and a fantastic atmosphere, you'll win at Revolution, even if your team doesn't. Why not book your own private World Cup Party today to avoid disappointment?
