Ingresso libero Info: cultural.roma@itamaraty.gov.br In questo 2018 seguiremo, per un mese, i Mondiali di calcio che si svolgono in Russia. Per l’Ambasciata del Brasile a Roma è un piacere ricordare, in questa mostra, i momenti cruciali delle carriere di due fenomeni del calcio, che tanto hanno contribuito a conquistare simpatia e ammirazione per il calcio brasiliano: Pelé e Garrincha. Insieme, Pelé e Garrincha non hanno mai perso: sono stati imbattibili nelle 40 partite che hanno disputato insieme, registrando 35 vittorie. Hanno conquistato, giovanissimi, la Coppa del Mondo nel 1958 e nel 1962. Pelé, considerato da molti il più grande calciatore della storia, ha segnato 1.282 gol, la maggior parte dei quali per la sua squadra, il Santos. Garrincha, l’“angelo dalle gambe storte”, il più grande dribblatore della storia, si è distinto per il Botafogo. Il Brasile ha conquistato la Coppa del Mondo nel 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 e 2002, ed è l’unico paese al mondo ad avere cinque titoli mondiali. Molti altri giocatori hanno contrassegnato la storia del calcio e sono, ancora oggi, ricordati a livello mondiale; tra loro citiamo Leônidas da Silva, Nilton Santos, Rivelino, Tostão, Zico, Falcão, Sócrates, Romário, Ronaldo. Tuttavia, pochi, oltre a Pelé e Garrincha, hanno elevato questo bello sport a un’arte. In Brasile si respira calcio.

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.

  • Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never Mind Neymar – Argentina Will Feel Loss of Free-Running Angel Di Maria Against Netherlands
    Rafael Benitez on World Cup 2014: Never mind Neymar – Argentina will feel loss of free-running Angel Di Maria against Netherlands In his exclusive column for The Independent, the former Liverpool manager and current Napoli boss warns that the Netherlands shouldn't underestimate Argentina's tactical flexibility during their semi-final meeting Rafael Benitez Tuesday, 8 July 2014 We have heard a lot about the Brazilian favelas and Argentina has its special difficult conditions too. They call them the potreros. It is where they play football, normally on small pieces of land – irregular – and it is because of the difficulties that the players look for football to give them a way out. Don’t underestimate how the poverty has given Argentina the players it has. I have known a lot of them and I know that with Argentina there is a spirit which few other nations have. They have a very tough job now that we are into the last week of the tournament. Everyone has been talking about Neymar in the last three days but Argentina losing Angel Di Maria has consequences which could be just as serious – maybe we can say more serious – than Brazil losing their talisman. I’m talking about options. We have seen Alejandro Sabella, the Argentina manager, being very flexible with his tactics in the tournament. He started with a line of five in midfield in the first half of the first game against Bosnia. Then he went to 4-3-1-2, then 4-2-3-1, with Lionel Messi behind Gonzalo Higuain, my striker at Napoli, Di Maria on the right and Ezequiel Lavezzi the left – giving width.

Tem como objetivo construir um percurso que relacione tais obras com outras produções artísticas e literárias, tanto de Gerchman quanto de outros artistas. Como abordagem metodológica, utiliza a análise dialógica do discurso, que propõe o diálogo entre diferentes enunciados concretos e a produção de sentidos gerada pela interação entre sujeitos situados social e historicamente.

It aims to build a pathway that relates such works to other artistic and literary productions, both those of Gerchman and those of other artists.

  • Chile O Argentina: Hoy Se Define El Campeón De La Copa América El
    Chile o Argentina: hoy se define el campeón de la Copa América El MetLife Stadium durante el Super Bowl. Hoy es el escenario de la final de la Copa América Centenario.

Lo estoy disfrutando como el resto del plantel. Tengo la ilusión de hacerlo bien. Creo que llegamos bien, en buena forma y con muchas ganas. Estamos muy bien parados”. Existe confianza en este grupo de jóvenes que ha conseguido triunfos históricos por Chile, y seguramente hoy irán con mucha más garra para seguir escribiendo los logros de esta generación dorada. 2 / 4 Gerardo el “Tata” Martino declaró que “Estoy dispuesto a transar el cómo ganar por lograr la corona”. Además, afirmó “No podemos caer en perder una nueva final”. La presión que tiene la albiceleste es altísima.

Hoy a las 20:00 horas en el MetLife Stadium en Nueva Jersey comenzará el partido más importante de la Copa América Centenario 2016, donde se definirá qué equipo es el mejor del continente.
