⚽️⚽️⚽️A Big THANKS to the German Soccer TEAM⚽️⚽️⚽️ I am Celebrating the Leadership and Resilience: My Lessons from the German Soccer Team In the heart-pounding 1:2 match against Spain in Euro 2024, our German soccer team showed us what true grit and unity look like. While the scoreboard didn't favour us this time, our team's courage and spirit were nothing short of extraordinary. I'm bursting with pride for our team and Coach Julian Nagelsmann's incredible leadership. He truly embodied George Kohlrieser's "Care to Dare" philosophy. Trust was the foundation of their journey, uniting players from diverse cultural backgrounds into a cohesive unit where only skills, motivation, trust and dedication matter. Their fighting spirit and bravery in taking risks were inspiring. The players ventured boldly, testing their limits because they knew their coach was a secure base. Failures were not feared but embraced as stepping stones for growth and learning, leading to impactful changes and strategies. Every moment was filled with the spirit of willingness to perform and unwavering belief. Though we didn't clinch the top spot, we lost to another great champion, and that is something to honour. After a period of reflection, grieving and healing, we'll rise, ready to face the next big challenge: the Soccer World Cup 2026, with even greater determination. Germany has so much to learn from our soccer team's resilience and leadership. Let's celebrate our journey, cherish these lessons, and eagerly look forward to future triumphs! #Leadership #CareToDare #GermanSoccer #Euro2024 #Resilience #TeamSpirit #TrustAndRisk #ProudMoment #FutureChampions

The European Championships are just a week away and the realisation always makes me deeply excited because of pure international football is. Since international managers get little time to coach teams, there is so much more reliance on individual ability/quality of players. It is so much about making the most of small, vital moments during games and more often than not, individual ability determines that. Unlike club football, where results are defined more often by tactical approaches, structures and organisation of teams, major international tournaments are generally decided by the intangibles of individualistic art, control over moments, experience of situations and exceptional moments of magic. It all depends on who is better on the given day. The intangibles often take over during international competitions and that is why they mean so much to us. At a time when the game is increasingly focused on taking control of aspects, international football allows expression to take over. It IS football. #euro2024 #football

Morten Hjulmand is going to be one to watch at the Euros with Denmark. His path to the highest level is a great story and actually very interesting from a scouting perspective. In Denmark, the player development pathway includes a league in U15 - U17 - U19 ——— Superliga. That’s right, there is no B team/U21/U23 league system in place. This means that after U19, either players are ready to step up to the first team and be part of that group, or they’re not and that’s where it gets more difficult. There’s positive in this system. It favours excellence and naturally filters players that are not ready immediately. The negative is of course that some players will not be ready to take that gigantic step at that age and need 1 or 2 more years to pursue their development (can be physically but also just in terms of game understanding maturity, speed of play …). Morten got an opportunity to join 2nd division Austrian side Admira Wacker, who allowed him to play senior football at a lower level. That went really well, they sold him for 2,5M€ to Lecce in Serie A where he had a breakthrough season, before joining Sporting for almost 20M€. Is the danish system “guilty” for letting such a player go too early? I don’t think so, as top Danish clubs constantly feed the Superliga with top talents each season, proving to give the opportunities. At the time, Morten Hjulmand probably was not ready, and who knows what would have happened to his development if he played for a reserve team! What is for sure is that there are some opportunities for foreign clubs to scout the the Danish U19 Leagues for this particular reason! Talent is everywhere! 🇩🇰

This recent letter from senators urging the Biden administration to create a White House Task Force for Global Events highlights a critical need—ensuring America is ready to host and participate on the global stage.

#BREAKING: We commend Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Jerry Moran (R-KS) for organizing a bipartisan letter urging the Biden administration to create a White House Task Force on Global Sporting Events. With a mega-decade of global sporting events ahead—including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2028 and 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the 2031 Rugby World Cup—the creation of a Task Force on Global Sporting Events is critical. The Task Force will ensure the U.S. is ready to welcome international travelers, maximize the economic benefits of these events and cement our position as the top global travel destination.

The Global Game of Football - WORLD FOOTBALL DAY by Felix Richter, To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first international football tournament with representation of all regions, which took place on May 25, 1924, the UN General Assembly has declared May 25 World Football Day. The resolution, passed on May 7, 2024, acknowledges “the global reach of football and its impact in various spheres, including commerce, peace and diplomacy and recognizing that football creates a space for cooperation.” The day underscores football's unique role as a globally beloved game and its potential to contribute positively to development and humanitarian goals worldwide. Often referred to as “the global game”, football (i.e. soccer) is played, followed and talked about in almost every corner of the planet. The sport’s biggest events, e.g. the quadrennial FIFA World Cup or the annual UEFA Champions League Final, are among the biggest sporting events in the world, only matched by the Olympics in terms of their global reach. According to FIFA, around 5 billion people engaged with the last FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022, with the final reaching a global audience of 1.5 billion viewers. Last year's UEFA Champions League final was estimated by UEFA to reach 450 million people across the global, letting the Super Bowl pale in comparison with an estimated global audience of around 200 million viewers. The following chart, based on Statista Consumer Insights data, shows where people are particularly fond of the global game and where interest in football is more limited. It clearly shows the popularity of football in Europe and Latin America as well as the potential for future growth in North America and parts of Asia and Oceania. https://lnkd.in/d9zHYBM6
