Global and local interactions in football: Comparing the development paths of Finland and Hungary
2018
The aim of this study is to increase understanding of football’s global and local contexts. More specifically, the development paths of Finnish and Hungarian football are explored and compared in four research articles from different perspectives within a global framework.

The main research question of the study is as follows: In what way have glocal interactions in men’s football shaped the development…
"You'll never walk alone" : formation of sense of community through language on the subreddit r/LiverpoolFC
2017
Internetin merkitys arjessa on kasvanut huomattavasti suurelle osalle maapallon ihmisiä viime vuosikymmeninä. Verkossa on lukemattomia sivustoja, joista useaa voisi kutsua internetyhteisöksi. Yksi suosituista sivustoista on reddit, joka koostuu erilaisista yhteisöistä eli aliredditeista. Aliredditit rakentuvat yleensä kiinnostuksenkohteiden tai ajankohtaisten aiheiden ympärille, ja niiden sisällön tuottamisen ja ylläpidon toteuttavat sivuston käyttäjät. Tutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten redditin käyttäjät luovat yhteisöllisyyden tunnetta kielellisin keinoin aliredditeissa. Tutkimukseni kohteena on alireddit r/LiverpoolFC, joka on suunnattu Liverpoolin jalkapallojoukkueen faneill…
Offensive Transitions in High-Performance Football: Differences Between UEFA Euro 2008 and UEFA Euro 2016
2019
[Abstract] Coaches, footballers and researchers agree that offensive transitions are one of the most important moments in football today. In a sport where defense over attack dominates, with low scores on the scoreboard, the importance of these actions from the offensive point of view becomes very important. Despite this, scientific literature is still very limited on this topic. Therefore, the objectives set out in the present investigation have been two: first, by means of a proportion analysis and the application of a chisquare test, it was intended to describe the possible differences between the offensive transitions made in the UEFA Euro 2008 and UEFA Euro 2016; then, through differen…
Effect of the Game Design, the Goal Type and the Number of Players on Intensity of Play in Small-Sided Soccer Games in Youth Elite Players
2015
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effects of game design modification, the type of the goal and the number of players on the intensity of play in small-sided soccer games (SSGs) in youth elite players. Twenty young soccer players (age 13.7 ± 0.5 years, body mass 57.4 ± 7.8 kg, body height 1.67 ± 7.8 m, maximal heart rate 201.1 ± 8.2 beats/min) performed three types of SSGs (possession play (PP) vs. regular goals (RG) vs. small goals (SG)) in both four-a-side and six-a-side formats. The heart rate responses were recorded and analysed as an indicator of the intensity of play. The four-a-side format obtained higher intensity of play than six-a-side for PP (p<0.05), but not f…
Les frontières de la libre circulation dans le football européen : vers une mondialisation des flux de joueurs?
2005
Les frontières étatiques sont de moins en moins pertinentes pour définir les limites entre territoires souverains. En termes de mobilité des personnes, cependant, bien que parfois déplacées à la périphérie de nouveaux territoires en gestation, elles continuent à jouer un rôle primordial dans le contrôle et la régulation des flux, surtout pour les migrants non qualifiés. Notre article se concentre sur le cas des footballeurs professionnels, une population le plus souvent considérée comme faisant partie d’une élite migratoire bien intégrée dans un marché du travail mondial, pour laquelle les frontières n’ont plus d’importance. En réalité, nous mettons en exergue l’existence de logiques géogra…
La pratique du football en Franche-Comté: un football des champs et un football des villes
1999
Avec un peu plus de 45 000 licenciés, le football est en Franche- Comté le sport qui compte le plus de pratiquants. Peu onéreux dans sa pratique, il est accessible à tous et s'adresse en théorie à toutes les catégories socioéconomiques : le football est un sport de masse par excellence qui peut jouer le rôle de ciment social. Au cours de ces dernières années, le football a été confronté à la concurrence d'autres sports, le tennis notamment, qui bénéficient d'une organisation plus souple. Après une période de dynamisme, le football a ralenti sa progression durant les années soixante et soixante-dix. Les années quatre vingt verront se succéder en alternance les années de recul et les années d…
The Formation of a Collective Identity Through Expressions of ‘Love’ and ‘Hate’: An Exploratory Analysis of the Discourse of Football Fans in Germany…
2021
International audience; Football is an exemplary platform where the social dynamics within and between societies can be regularly observed. In addition, online message boards are a rich resource of everyday expressions where football fans express their ‘love’ of their clubs as well as their ‘disdain’ for others. We conducted a qualitative content analysis during two seasons of Olympique de Marseille and FC Bayern Munich as well as Toulouse FC and Hannover 96. Our analysis illustrates that hateful expressions that differentiate groups are much more prevalent and therefore more determinant in the formation of a collective identity. Furthermore, the analysis confirms that the self-conception c…
Europeanised identifications among football fans. The analysis of discussions in online message boards.
2021
International audience; Across Europe, national professional football leagues have seen increasing numbers of players from other EU states, while the Champions League and the Europa League have become a focal point for many teams. This article seeks to investigate how far this Europeanisation on the organisational level of football is reflected in identities and discourses of fans. We develop a framework to analyse Europeanisation of identities among football fans. In the empirical part we conduct a qualitative content analysis of fan discussions on publicly available message boards among fans of four first league teams in England and Austria. Our empirical findings indicate that fans’ iden…
