Fox Sports to Broadcast First-Ever All-German Uefa Champions League Final This Saturday FOX SPORTS TO BROADCAST FIRST-EVER ALL-GERMAN UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL THIS SATURDAY Extensive Pre- and Post-game Coverage Live From London; Brad Friedel Added Gus Johnson and Warren Barton Call Match from Historic Wembley Stadium LOS ANGELES – On Saturday, all eyes of the soccer world are on the one game and two remaining teams in the 2013 UEFA Champions League competition, the world’s most-watched elite club soccer competition. German powerhouses Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund square-off at London’s Wembley Stadium for the world’s most coveted club prize, broadcast live on FOX, Saturday, May 25, with broadcast coverage beginning at 2:00 PM ET. FOX Sports’ renowned play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson calls the action, alongside FOX Soccer analyst and former England international Warren Barton, live from London. In addition, FOX Soccer’s Rob Stone hosts on-site pregame, halftime and post-game coverage with FOX Soccer analysts and former United States National Team players Eric Wynalda and Brian McBride. During his playing days, Wynalda became the first American-born player to compete and receive honors for a top level German club in the Bundesliga. The broadcast team is also joined by U.S. international and Tottenham goalkeeper, Brad Friedel. FOX Soccer’s coverage begins with a one-hour pre-game show at 1:00 PM ET followed by FOX Sports’ over- the-air programming. Coverage features comprehensive news, analysis and an exclusive interview with German legend Jurgen Klinsmann, former Bayern Munich manager and current head coach of the United States Men’s National Team. The UEFA Champions League post-game show on FOX Soccer airs immediately following FOX's coverage of the match at approximately 5:00 PM ET, followed by encore presentations of the final match at 8:00 PM ET Saturday night, and at 7:00 PM ET on Sunday, May 26 on FOX Soccer Plus. “It’s going to be a very exciting game, a great atmosphere and two very offensive teams,” Barton said. “Bayern has the experience and Dortmund is the underdog, but it’s a final; a one- off. All in all, it will be one to remember.” Completing two of the most stunning victories in UEFA Champions League history, both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are riding significant momentum into London, after knocking out heavily favored Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in the semifinals. - more - 2013 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL – PAGE 2 The Bavarian giants appear in their third final in four years, after a resounding 7-0 aggregate thrashing of Lionel Messi and Barcelona. Dominant, but unable to seal the title since 2001, this German squad is hungry to capitalize on Saturday, following last year’s final defeat in devastating fashion in penalty kicks at their home stadium. Bolstered by midfielders Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller, one of Europe’s most potent attacks is on the cusp of glory yet again. Local rivals, Dortmund, are considered newcomers to this stage of the tournament, with their last and only appearance in a European final back in 1997, when they walked away with the trophy, and are a force to be reckoned with now. Striker Robert Lewandowski leads his side with 10 goals in the UEFA Champions League, four of those goals coming against Real Madrid in their semifinal victory. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund faced each other in the Bundesliga earlier this month and battled to a 1-1 draw. A dress rehearsal of sorts perhaps, but with Bayern already crowned the league champions prior to that match, this Saturday’s Champions League Final is set to be the ultimate showpiece. -- FOX SPORTS MEDIA GROUP --- .

  • Everyone's Game
    EVERYONE’S GAME PROGRESS PLAN A WAY FORWARD Soccer in the United States is at an infection point. In the two-plus decades since the World Cup came to the U.S., MLS launched, and our Women’s team won the frst Women’s World Cup, we have made tremendous strides as a soccer nation. But now—to ignite the next phase of growth—we need new vision and new leadership. The U.S. Soccer Federation has risen with the tide of interest of the game in the U.S., generating record profts and an impressive sur- plus. Yet while riding that fnancial wave, it has also lost touch with the grassroots soul of the sport, failed to invest in success at all levels of the soccer pyramid, and, most importantly, overlooked the critical role of its membership in helping build an enduring soccer culture. Over the past several months, I have traveled the widespread perception that the standing of individuals nation and have spoken with hundreds of U.S. Soccer and associations in our soccer family has less to do with members, coaches, athletes, administrators, referees, merit and more to do with the favor of those at the top. and fans. From these conversations, it is clear that the We need not just a new leader but a culture change in Federation is failing to adequately serve its members. leadership, a new approach that is inclusive, transparent, Our nation is full of association and club leaders, and empowering. coaches, players, and parents who love this game— many of them have devoted their lives to helping grow That is what I intend to bring to the Presidency.

  • IDA Heritage Book
    Forward This book is dedicated to all who have been members of the door dealer associations and the contributions that each has made to the advancement of OUR industry. September 2015 Heritage of the International Door Association 1 Acknowledgments The compilation of this book would not have been possible without the efforts of many people. As Chairman of the Heritage Committee, I would like to personally acknowledge Michael Overbay, and Joyce Clingman for pouring through 30,000+ documents and the Heritage Committee mem- bers for their efforts in getting this to print. And finally, a special thank you to the Past Presidents who shared their reflections, thoughts and leadership in bringing us to where we are today. Theodore J. Billman 2002 Heritage Committee Chairman Heritage of the International Door Association 2 Preface The International Door Association was created with the merger in 1996 of the Far Western Garage Door Association and the Door & Operator Dealers Association. It’s colorful history reaches back to March, 1967, and is reflective of the numerous changes realized by the door systems industry. The most common IDA denominator is people, both those who have led the association, and those who have supported it in many other ways. It is because of many courageous volunteer visionaries that the predecessor associations (FWGDA and DODA) were organized. It was that same vision that ultimately brought the two groups together, creating a meaningful and valuable international organization. The purpose of this document is to capture the history of IDA for current and future reflection. By knowing our history, by examining our foundation, we will continue to build a strong and viable door dealer association far into the future.

  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

Greyser Kenneth Cortsen Working Paper 21-111 MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. Stephen A.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Funding for this research was provided in part by Harvard Business School. MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends
    Our mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. We do this by providing: a safe haven filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adults, and life-enhancing programs. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF BOSTON 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends, This year – and for the last three years – under the remarkable leadership of outgoing Board Chair Dana Smith, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston has worked diligently to develop an incredible breadth and depth of thoughtfully designed programs to help our members succeed academically, live healthy lifestyles, practice good citizenship and be prepared for life after the Club. In this report, I invite you to read about just a few of the opportunities we provided to more than 17,000 young people at our Clubs. While BGCB invests $3,100 to serve each member – many of whom come from households with incomes of less than $33,000 per year – we only charge $25 per school year for 6-12 year olds and just $5 a year for teens – and no child is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each one of the generous contributions made by the individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners listed in this report played an important role in making this possible. In order to stay affordable and continue to offer even more enriching programs to the kids who need us most, I am excited to share that we successfully completed our five-year Opening Doors Campaign for Our Children, Our City, Our Future and surpassed our goal of $125 million – raising $131 million! We have also exceeded our planned giving goal of securing over 75 members of the Frederic C.
