In less than two weeks the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers will face off for Super Bowl XLV. Held at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the game is expected to be close and fierce. Just how close? The Packers are currently favored by the slimmest margin ever noted in prop betting, 2.5 points. Of course, margins mean little when the teams take the field.

The Venue Awaits

The newly built Cowboys Stadium is a marvel of modern architecture. Replacing the old Texas Stadium, which opened in 1971, the new building is the largest domed stadium in the world. With the largest column free interior and an 80,000 person seating capacity and room for 30,000 more individuals in standing room, the venue may be as popular as the game.

Ensuring that everyone has a good view of the game, Cowboys Stadium is home to the largest HD video screen in the world. Measuring 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall, and with a total of 11, 520 sq. feet, the screen stretches from one 20 yard line to the other. The only hitch is that it’s so large that it has already been hit once by a long hang-time punt.

Unhappy Natives

For Cowboys fans the upcoming Super Bowl is a bittersweet moment. Proud to host their first Bowl, locals are struggling with the idea that two of their most hated teams will be playing in their stadium. Cowboy supporters feel that each team stole their chance for the spotlight, the Packers in the 1960s and the Steelers in the 1970s, and they would be just as happy if neither team was showing up.

A Look at the Teams

Both the Steelers and the Packers have a long and honorable history in the NFL. The Steelers were established in 1933 and are the oldest franchise in the AFC, the fifth oldest in the NFL. With six Super Bowl wins, they lead the league, and their last trip to the Super Bowl was just two years ago, in 2009, where they triumphed over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Packers were founded in 1919, and are the second oldest franchise in the NFL. They are the only non-profit, community owned franchise among professional sports teams in the US. With three Super Bowl wins, the last in 1996, the Packers are eager to take the game.

All over the Europe the January transfer window has slammed shut, with clubs no longer able to buy and sell players until the summer. There wasn’t the usual mad scramble of clubs spending millions of pounds on players they don’t really need that much, which is thought to be down to the state of English football club finances and also the global financial crisis.

To an outside, a football transfer is a complicated affair that is full of mystery and intrigue. This article aims to explain what a transfer is and how it is conducted. Obviously almost every deal is different, but what is described here is the ‘norm’.

Firstly, the club wishing to buy a player must make a written offer to club that currently have the registration of the player they wish to buy. The clubs will then normally debate the value of this offer and try and secure themselves the best deal. How long this goes on for is very much dependent on how much each club wants to have the player in question.

Once a fee is agreed between the clubs, the player’s agent must negotiate personal terms with the buying club. This will include factors like salary, appearance fee, image rights, win bonuses’ etc. For goalkeepers it may be a clean sheet bonus. In the modern era the list is pretty endless. The football agent will secure the best possible deal for his client and take a small percentage for his work.

Clauses are now an important part of a footballer’s contract. A common clause is a ‘relegation release clause’ which will means the club has to let them go should the club be relegated. Footballers like this clause as it means they are not stuck at a club in a lower division.

A football transfer is formally concluded when the relevant paperwork is sent to the relevant authorities. For a club like Arsenal, this would mean sending the paper work to the Premier League and the English Football Association.
