The objective was to build a ranking of football players based on multivariate methods. The players evaluated were the winners of FIFA; UEFA; Ballon D'Or; FIFPro; World Soccer; Golden Ball World Cup and King of América awards. A total of 95 players were evaluated based on the variables: games played, wins, draws, losses, goals scored, yellow/red cards, awards, dream team, title in national leagues/ continental championships in a football club, title in world cups/ continental championship in a national team, Olympics gold medal. We performed the multivariate clustering and principal components analyses. The grouping technique resulted in three groups: regionally renowned players (Group 1), renowned players for their extraordinary performance (Group 2), and globally renowned players (Group 3). The players in Group 2, except for Maradona, reached the highest indexes. The leaders of the ranking were Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi, Pelé, and Iniesta.

“…Like continental Europe, where it was adopted by Anglophile cosmopolitan élites (Missiroli, 2002), when football was introduced to China during the Republican era in the late 1910s it was an exotic and modish form of physical exercise partaken by students on university campuses (Dong and Mangan, 2001). It did not develop roots beyond a narrow urban demographic, despite the success the Republic of China team enjoyed in Asian competition in the 1920s.…”

In this article, we utilise the social theories of Antonio Gramsci and Henri Lefebvre to explore the role that leisure activities such as football play within contemporary China in relation to issues of class. We argue that the recent promotion of football in China can be viewed as a continuation of broader top-down processes of 'modernization from above' that serves as a microcosm of the wider class contradictions inherent in Chinese approaches to development since the 1980s. The issue of class has been strangely absent from the literature dealing with the development of football in China. However, given the importance of class in 20 th Century Chinese society, the re-emergence of inequality and stratification in the reform era and the implicit connections between class and state discourses around the "rejuvenation of the great Chinese nation," it is clear that class is closely implicated in Xi's vision for football. We explore the major role of the middle classes as the target for the promotion of leisure activities and consumerist lifestyles patterns as part of the Party-State's effort to integrate them into a transformed historical bloc.

“…Literature relating to Europeanisation and football often disregards various important political dimensions of the sport, which might be considered more prevalent within globalisation debates (Foer, 2004). However, some authors have tried to establish a link between European integration and the development of football in Europe (Missiroli, 2002). Europeanisation in footballing terms could perhaps have been shaped particularly from 1927, with the introduction of the Mitropa Cup (a tournament which pre-dates the European Cup) a competition which had a twelve-year lifespan, involving clubs competing primarily within the geographic triangle of Vienna, Prague and Budapest (Brand, Neimann and Spitaler, 2013).…”

This research explores the perceptions of a sample of German nationals towards socio-political, cultural and footballing contexts between periods of the UEFA European Championships in 2000 and the FIFA World Cup in 2014. The examinations of perceptions were obtained through interviews of German football fans from both western and eastern regions, including SV Werder Bremen club officials. The findings suggest that national pride has become an increasingly prominent feature in a unified Germany following the hosting of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. It is also argued here that immigration in German society has positively impacted the German national soccer team. However, there are some recurrent and seemingly problematic issues in German society pertaining to immigration and religious identity. Some fans and officials consider the promotion of national team manager Joachim Löw as a catalyst in the subsequent success of the national team in Rio in 2014, impacting the development of German football from 2000.
