There were myriad reasons for this, from Nordic noir to gastronomy via architecture, craft beer and even knitwear. Football fans of a certain age wondered what took everyone else so long to discover this. In the mid- 1980s, Denmark were the most interesting and perhaps the best football team in the world, an almost unprecedented achievement for a country with a population of only five million. ‘What Denmark did was amazing,’ said Diego Maradona. ‘They were like a bullet train.’ They made history by playing football from the future: a fast-forward version of the Dutch Total Football that had charmed the world in the 1970s, and with the same unashamedly attacking intent. Denmark’s style made children fall in love with football and reminded adults why they had fallen in love with it in the first place. -

FC Bayern Munich Principles
FC Bayern Munich Principles Bayern Munich's club motto, "mia san mia," is a Bavarian phrase meaning "we are who we are." Bayern Munich is the biggest and most storied club in German soccer history. Bayern Munich has an unprecedented 23 league and 16 national cup trophies in its display case. Good things come in threes at FC Bayern. Led by the legendary Franz Beckenbauer, a player so good that he invented the modern sweeper position, Bayern Munich won three straight European Cups from 1974‐1976. In 2013, the club completed a historic Treble, capturing the German Bundesliga, DFB‐Pokal league cup and UEFA Champions League crowns. In addition to other strong benefits, the FC Bayern Munich’s philosophy, which is, shared throughput the FC Bayern world including their players, staff and fans mirrors the beliefs that the Parsippany Soccer Club has. We all need to remember these principles and be proud that we can share the same philosophy and be affiliated with one of the biggest clubs in the world. Please take a moment and read through these principles and you will understand why we are affiliated with such a powerful but yet very humbled soccer club. The 16 principles of FC Bayern are explained below and are an accurate description of who Bayern really are. Again, they form a philosophy which players, staff and fans should live alike. ▪ Mia san ein Verein – We are one club: We are all formed by the club’s history, we are all involved in its development and we share the same values. -

in collaborazione con con il sostegno di presenta PELÉ &&& GARRINCHA FOTO E VIDEO Palazzo Pamphilj | Galleria Candido Portinari e Biblioteca Tullio Ascarelli Piazza Navona 10 – Roma Mostra dal 27 giugno al 27 luglio 2018, dal lunedì al venerdì, dalle 10:00 alle 17:00. Ingresso libero Info: [email protected] 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. -
