High Noon and Tin Star have a lot of differences. One big difference that I noticed was that in Tin Star the wife of the head deputy was dead and in High Noon the wife is alive. This changes a lot in the story because at the beginning of the movie the head deputy and his soon to be wife got married. Another thing I noticed was when the head deputy had to face those 4 guys by himself one of the guys used toby as a shield in Tin Star but in High Noon they used the wife as the shield to get the deputy out.

The new strategy has a much lower overhead, and a much larger scope of potential fans. The NFL had to find a way to enter the global market, without the massive losses they experienced with NFL Europa.

The A-League. Filled with homegrown talent. Dubbed to work wonders for Australian soccer players. Does it actually work? It's been said that the reason marquee players have been limited in the A-League is to help support the growth of Australian Soccer. Ironically, how does the Australian Soccer Team grow when less than 17% play in Australia. But is this all we want it to be? If you look at recent world champions Germany, and the percentage of players playing in its home country (70%), this can be directly proportional to its success. It is the same case for; Spain in 2010 with 83% and Italy in 2006 with 100%. So if Australian Football Federation thinks the introduction of marquees will limit the success of the national team, they'd be wrong,

All of this is very beneficial to the sport, and brings in more revenue. Although more people are watching games, it might seem like they are watching for the wrong reasons, like it will become less about football, and more about Taylor Swift. It is true

MLS lack that game-to-game/weekend-to-weekend importance which makes it more boring and difficult to follow at times. Unlike in England, each game isn’t a matter of life or death. I get the impression that if an MLS club loses a game, it’s no big deal to the fans, players, and owners. Then, most games I watch, the level of play is still a bit slow and turns neutral or growing soccer fans off. On a night-to-night basis, on the field, there are more mediocre MLS games than there are thrilling.

The Barclays Premier League heavily invest in promoting upcoming matches, local derbies and the overall code. It earns millions of pounds from advertising and promoting it’s brand across several platforms. While I understand that the A-League definitely isn’t at the same level as the Premier League, I believe more needs to be done to further expand the brand.

I want 50 football teams so we can just an example like the mississippi windstorm v.s. The washington D.C president's well something like that. And The 50 teams represents the fifty states and that means more football stadiums. And that means less fans for each statiam.

BIBLIOGRAPHY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The growth of soccer in the United States is one of the most talked about topics in the world of soccer today. According to the 2014 ESPN Sports Poll , soccer (in the form of U.S. Major League Soccer) has actually caught up with MLB (Major League Baseball) with 18 percent of 12 to 17 year olds as fans of the sport. When compared to other sports in the United States, the MLS (Major League Soccer) is already the third highest

Many if not all the international clubs are dependent on youth development. MLS has a similar model that has produced some success. The major difference is MLS players have been known to leave the states. Emerging stars rarely go play in the states. This mindset isn’t a good sign for MLS.

Soccer is a popular sport played all over the world. Even though it has only been popular in the United States for the past 30 years, soccer has been a long time favorite most everywhere else. The sport dates back to the Egyptians, who played games involving the kicking of a ball. Now, the sport has grown to a global pastime, including men’s and women’s teams, and the World Cup (which is played every four years).

Soccer is different. There is little if any unity. Numerous leagues all over the planet contribute to this problem. Occasionally clubs are able to attract a global fan base. When this doesn’t occur fans become territorial. If you steal their traditions they will be upset. If you’re a second rate league and you commit the crime your in big trouble. In many fans eyes MLS falls into the later category.

It has been suggested that the UCL is a product of societal evolution. After forty years without change the European Cup had become commercially obsolete to broadcasters and sponsors due to the lack of guaranteed matches involving Europe’s biggest clubs (Ahlstrom, 2002). The knockout format allowed for clubs who would bring in large sums of revenue to be eliminated after merely two games.

Although, the case study of Manchester United gives us a good example of a brand’s ability to globalize, it does not give us a clear picture into how a league as a whole accomplishes these same goals. To get this clear picture of a successful global soccer league we can review a case study by Matthew Holt that examines the UEFA Champions League and its ability to succeed. The UEFA Champions League(UCL) was established after the UEFA European cup started to see more revenue increases based on the increase in television and digital technologies. (Holt, 2007) The goal of the UCL was to increase revenue through a newly structured European club soccer league. The first way that UCL accomplished this was through centralized marketing. This was accomplished through selling the television rights as the UCL brand rather than allowing the clubs to individually sell the rights to the games. This increased the value of the television rights and in turn increased the profitability of the clubs. (Holt, 2007) UEFA sold this UCL brand
