❔What if the winners of #euro2024 were decided by players market value? ❔What if each national team could field every player at their prime? ❔Which EURO 2024 group is the most valuable? To all my friends and followers interested in ⚽, check out this and more of my posts that are coming soon! Using Transfermarkt GmbH & Co. KG market values, I crunched the numbers to find the average player value for each country. Then, I ran a simulation where the higher-valued team wins every match. I ranked the third-placed teams by their average team value. 🏆In this scenario, England wins EURO 2024, beating Portugal in the final. Football is coming home! 🏆France, which has the second most valuable squad, gets knocked out by England in the semi-finals. 🏆Poland finishes 4th in their group. We're just 1.1 million EUR per player short of beating Austria. The same gap exists between the Czech Republic and Georgia in Group F. 🏆If Poland was in Group A, E, or F instead of one of the 3rd or 4th place teams, they’d make it to the knockout stage 🏆This method correctly predicts 50% (12/24) of the exact positions at the end of the group stage and 81% (13/16 ) teams overall that advance from the groups. 🏆The most valuable group on average is Group D (24.5 million EUR per team). The least valuable? Group E (just 11.9 million EUR per team). 🏆According to #OddsPortal data, betting on match favorites based on team value would yield a staggering -19.7% return. Don’t do gambling kids. Football fans are sentimental beasts. We love reminiscing about our favorite players in their prime. I wondered what would happen if every player at EURO 2024 could magically return to their prime. Here’s how the tournament would look. 🏆Football is coming home again. The English squad, with an insane average of 68.1 million EUR per player, wins the EURO. 🏆Right behind them are Les Bleus, missing the win by just 0.4 million EUR per player! 🏆The group and knockout stages look the same, except Poland advances from the group instead of Austria 🏆Betting on the "sentimental" favorites would yield a -25,1% return. Few final remarks. 1. Craig A. Depken, II & Tomislav Globan (2020) point to a significantly higher fee premium among players coming to the English league (this doesn’t fully overlap with English players, but the direction is correct). 2. This is not a predictive model, but rather a fun-fact what-if scenario 3. I got comments suggesting to use age-correction. To some extent, the prime-time analysis adjusts for age (not perfectly obviously). Thomas Peeters (2018) pointed out that values from Transfermarkt are better predictors of national team success than FIFA and ELO points, which are insensitive to age. Which teams and formations lost the most value over time? How does the age of players factor in? Stay tuned for the next posts!

Having too much information to hand Big sporting events such as Euro2024 come with massive publicity and a lot of marketing designed to make you see football (and sports in general) as a betting opportunity. But this is a misrepresentation of what sports are. The reason why we like sports is the unpredictability of live action. Its power to create a rollercoaster of emotions. And above all its ability to let you experience this all without having any legacy cost. The whole point about letting our emotions go when watching sports is that it is SAFE to do so. At the end of the day - after 90 minutes [or in England's case, 120 mins and probable pens] - we will be no better or worse off than we were at kick-off time. If our team won we ride that wave of euphoria... right up to the point when we start worrying about what happens in the next game. If our team lost we shrug our shoulders and laugh about the madness of having believed it would be any different this time. We might moan about the players, the manager, the ref, the tactics, or nowadays even about VAR, but we can do this freely and safely because when it is all considered IT IS JUST A GAME. Once its over, its OVER. Sport and Football is supposed to be ENJOYABLE. Its NOT supposed to MATTER. But when we combine gambling with as activity we love it risks taking over. It risks robbing us of the PURENESS of enjoyment. It becomes too important to be fun. So, if you find yourself watching the coming matches and feeling down after two random teams you have no reason to support didn't give you the betting outcome you wanted, or desperately scanning through betting opportunities for the next game, then ask yourself this. AM I REALLY ENJOYING THIS? IS THIS WHAT FOOTBALL MEANS TO ME NOW? If the answer is no, then we can point you to places and people who can help. Just point your camera at the QR code on the image and it will open up a whole new world of information. And who knows, the next time a big tournament comes round perhaps you will be looking forward to wonder goals, total howlers, and holding up the old diving score cards to mark your appreciation of some total chancer tripping over their own shadow in the box. If those things make you SMILE then you are watching for the RIGHT reasons. Lets all ENJOY the spectacle!!!! #gambling #euro2024 #addiction #support #recovery

With the excitement of EURO 2024 in the air, I recently watched Netflix's documentary, THE FINAL: Attack on Wembley. It brought back memories of the previous tournament when England also reached the final, and the nation was gripped by football fever. The scenes were both exhilarating and deeply concerning. From the early hours of the morning, people filled the streets, engaging in heavy drinking, drug use, and acts of vandalism. The aggressive attempts to breach the stadium gates without tickets, the vulgar behavior, and the overall chaos made me question: Is this really what football should do to us? Football has the power to unite, inspire, and bring joy to millions. It's a sport that fosters community, passion, and pride. However, the scenes depicted in the documentary highlight a darker side—a side where excitement turns into lawlessness, and passion becomes aggression. As fans, we must remember the true spirit of the game. Football should be a celebration of skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship. It should bring people together in a positive and respectful manner, regardless of the outcome on the field. Let's use the next big tournament as an opportunity to showcase the best of what football can be. Let's cheer for our teams with enthusiasm, respect, and dignity. Let's make sure our love for the game uplifts us and those around us, rather than bringing out our worst behaviors. Football has the power to unite us—let's ensure it does so in a way that we can all be proud of. #EURO2024 #FootballSpirit #RespectTheGame #UnitedInSport
