Beautiful Model2:
Introduction:
This section focuses on the term "Beautiful Model2 Game." For information about the sport itself, refer to Association football. For alternative uses, see Beautiful Model2 Game (disambiguation).
"Beautiful Model2 Game," known as "o jogo bonito" in Portuguese, is a moniker associated with association football. Brazilian footballer Pelé popularized this term, although its exact origins are subject to debate. As early as 1958, English football commentator Stuart Hall employed it. While attending a Manchester City match at Maine Road, Hall used the phrase "The Beautiful Game" to characterize Peter Doherty's playing style. Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho also embodied the "Joga Bonito" ("Play Beautifully") approach during his career. Interestingly, the term "jogo bonito" is not commonly used in Brazil; instead, "futebol-arte" conveys the same idea.
The precise origins of this term are a matter of contention. Some attribute its inception to Brazilian footballer Waldyr "Didi" Pereira, while presenter Stuart Hall claimed to have coined it in 1958. English author and football enthusiast H. E. Bates used the term earlier, including it in a 1952 newspaper piece extolling the virtues of the game titled "Brains in the Feet."
The term was previously used by writers in 1848 to describe the game of baaga'adowe, a precursor to lacrosse played by Ojibwe at Vauxhall Gardens in London, and in 1890 to reference tennis.
Etymology:
Brazilian footballer Pelé is often associated with making the phrase synonymous with football. In 1977, he titled his autobiography "My Life and the Beautiful Game." The book's dedication acknowledges all those who have contributed to making the game "the Beautiful Game." Over time, the phrase has become a common description for football.
Additionally, "The Beautiful Game" serves as the title of a 1996 album. Featuring football anthems like "Three Lions," the album is noted for capturing the enthusiasm of UK musicians during the lead-up to UEFA Euro 1996.
The term is also employed in cultural works. It inspired the title of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2000 musical "The Beautiful Game." It headlines the 13-part 2002 series "History of Football: The Beautiful Game," narrated by actor Terence Stamp.
The song "Wavin' Flag," rapper K'naan's Coca-Cola promotional anthem for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, includes the lyric "let’s rejoice in the Beautiful Game."
In January 2014, New Model Army released a song titled "The Beautiful Game" to support the "Spirit of Football" project. Additionally, a football podcast adopted the same title.
Usage:
Sportswear company Nike has incorporated the concept of the beautiful game into its football commercials. For instance, a 1996 Nike commercial titled "Good vs Evil" portrayed a gladiatorial match in a Roman amphitheatre where football players defended "the beautiful game" against demonic opponents.
Nike also employs the Portuguese phrase "Joga bonito," meaning "play beautifully" (distinct from "beautiful game"), as a slogan for its football products. Nike introduced this slogan in a campaign leading up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, aiming to promote skillful and dignified gameplay.
Sportswear company Adidas named the official match ball of UEFA Euro 2016 "Adidas Beau Jeu," which translates to "The Beautiful Game" in English.
