从较长的周期来看,一个球队的成绩是可以预测的,它与国家经济实力、人口规模、国际比赛经验存在相关性。职业足球其实是一个很糟糕的生意,如果看商业指标,足球压根就是一个无利可图的行当。但是足球是伴随着工业化、城市化进程的产物,它给人们提供了归属感和荣誉感。1986年世界杯的一场经典比赛。当时,球王马拉多纳率领阿根廷淘汰了英格兰队,马拉多纳自此成为阿根廷的民族英雄。而就在4年前,也就是1982年,英国和阿根廷为争夺马岛的主权而爆发的一场战争中,阿根廷战败。4年后这场足球比赛的胜利,让整个阿根廷陷入了狂欢,甚至暂时忘记了战败的痛苦。马拉多纳说:“那感觉就像打败了一个国家,而不仅是战胜了一支球队。尽管赛前我们说过足球与马岛战争毫无关系,但我们都清楚,我们复仇了。”
