And still trying to track down your own reporting of the street celebrations in LA
Renowned Vanderbilt professor Dr. Celso Castilho wrote an important piece chronicling the political strife around the 1994 World Cup.

What is in Fifa's 25-page sales pitch: a reference to more than doubling the number of global tournaments held each year, from 200 to 450
What is not in Fifa's 25-page sales pitch: a single reference to women's football

This England loss is as much on manager Thomas Tuchel and his coaching staff, who paid dearly for parking the bus too early only to see Lionel Messi and Argentina drive past the Three Lions.

In a country that despises most of its leaders, the French coach Didier Deschamps has had universal respect for decades. Me @FT on one of two Basque coaches in today's semi, whose natural leadership was revealed in a terrible moment aged 16. Free link as.ft.com/r/49ceb6da-1301-4d…
Privileged to be a part of the series
Lots of articles to consider for Fall courses
Great work @NACLA in bringing more visibility to the topic
In this web series, NACLA contributors cover the intersection of fútbol and politics from a wide variety of angles

I was wondering this: if there’s a similar all-or-nothing pressure for France in WCs, as exists for other big countries
If that’s how the star puts it, then I guess so
A MENTALIDADE DE Mbappé: “Jogamos com paixão, sabemos o que é representar o nosso país num Mundial e não há coisa mais forte para um jogador. Tentamos passar aos jogadores jovens que chegam o que é representar nossa seleção na Copa do Mundo.
Somos um país que tem uma história na Copa, eles têm que saber a pressão que é jogar pela França porque você tem que vencer”.
Great story
“Every day a bit more.”
One last time with free link: me @FT on the introverted Londoner Michael Olise, a chess fanatic and son of a cricket international, who is the world's newest great footballer - for France as.ft.com/r/425500ed-5091-40…
Remembering Andres Escobar, killed on July 2, 1994, days after Colombia was eliminated from USA ‘94
Escobar penned a letter to the country while en route home, imploring fans to stick with this team.
His letter ended with ‘La vida no termina acá.’
It was partially reprinted in a NYC Spanish daily

O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) agradeceu ao técnico da seleção brasileira, Carlo Ancelotti, por ter deixado Casemiro em campo após o gol do Japão no primeiro tempo da partida contra o Brasil na útlima segunda-feira (29).

While the world sings France’s praises, I’m wondering:
Is there an expectation back home that they win it all?
As in, do they shoulder that suffocating—all or nothing—pressure like England, Brazil, Arg, etc…?
‘Si tuviese más tiempo te hubiera escrito una carta más corta’
Luis Enrique explicó que reduce al MÍNIMO los mensajes para jugadores, y muchos lo interpretaron como si fuesen idiotas, TikTok, etc.
Pero es un consejo *inteligente* para cualquier comunicación.
La comunicación SIEMPRE debe medirse desde el receptor. Pero la tentación del emisor es la contraria: ¡la juzgas desde lo que dices! Celebras que metiste veinte ideas en tu charla. Pero… ¿Y si nadie te escuchó? ¿Y si nadie recuerda luego esas ideas?
Comunicar no es decir. Es transmitir.
Ejemplo: damos una lista de consejos a padres primerizos: ¿sus hijos están más protegidos si la lista tiene 100 consejos desperdigados o si tiene solo los 7 más importantes?
Y eso vale para padres primerizos, futbolistas y todos nosotros.
