这种想法有一些根据。世界各地的优秀足球运动员大都在欧洲俱乐部踢球,这帮助提高了欧洲球员的水平。过去五届世界杯中有四届是欧洲国家队夺冠,十支决赛球队中有七支是欧洲球队。
But is the game in fact better when the Europeans play only against one another?
但是,只有欧洲球队参加的比赛真的更好看吗?
Before trying to answer that, it’s worth acknowledging that there can be no definite conclusion. When played at an elite level, soccer, like art, contains so much that is unquantifiable that it defies numerical ranking and subjective opinion. Saying that Spain plays a better style of game than Argentina is akin to declaring Matisse better than Manet.
在尝试回答这个问题之前,我必须承认,它可能没有确定的答案。精英水平的足球赛和艺术一样,包含着很多无法量化的东西,无法用数字排名和主观意见解释。说西班牙的比赛风格优于阿根廷的风格,就像是说马蒂斯(Matisse)的画作优于莫奈(Manet)的画作。
And numbers struggle to capture another quality that makes a soccer game compelling — the intensity that often exists when a victory will eliminate the other team, or when two longtime rivals play each other, like Mexico and the United States, or Germany and the Netherlands.
而且数据很难反映球赛更吸引人的另一个因素——激烈的比赛往往发生在淘汰赛中或者在两个宿敌之间,比如墨西哥和美国,或德国和荷兰。
