World Cup And Economics 2014

[BToto920]

Hey guys,

I found this report online and figured I would share it here. It is a bit lengthy, but interesting none the less. GS has been doing this every World Cup since 1998. This is their 5th edition. Happy reading!

Wow, just skimming over it, this has to be the most comprehensive analysis of the World Cup I have seen.
Printing now, designated "porcelain throne" reading material.
Good find!

Great find. I am really into the technical side of football. FIFA releases a report after each World Cup documenting tons of stuff from each team's training schedules, tactics, diets, locations, climate, referee rule changes etc. The more recent reports are not as in depth but older reports really show how the game was studied and progressed..you can find a sample here:
