Norbert Raymond Leach, proud father, Muggle-born, and fighter of equality

Born in 1922, to Muggles Raymond (b. 1893) and Mary in Manchester with an elder brother Jerome (b. 1919) though often overshadowed. Often with odd abilities, Nobby always stood out and cared for tolerance.

By age eleven, Nobby learned he was a wizard and went to St. Hilda's Magical Abbey for two years. There, he met Algie Longbottom and Josh Fenwick and they joined Bruce McIntyre in Hufflepuff once they reached Hogwarts.

Nobby founded and captained the Football Club and was among the original Slug Club members. A stanch advocate in the M.V.F., yet only proud of recent Muggin blood and joined the Defender's Union upon founding in 1938. A year later, they defended Hogwarts against Zanos' attempts on the school.

After Hogwarts, Nobby and his roommates all joined the Royal Wizarding Navy yet Nobby and Algie were swayed to aid the Allianz out of peace. When they realized Grindelwald was wrong, they joined the Magical Progressive Cadet for true peace and acceptance. Nobby was elected leader.

After the war, Nobby married Jeanne Brodeur who had fought in the Magical French. A foreign aid officer, they had Hugo (b. 1951) and Caroline (b. 1953) abroad but settled in Manchester soon. Nobby rising as a diplomat, a scandal ensued revealing Nobby’s and Jeanne’s Muggle-born statuses pitting him more against Abraxas Malfoy, heavily involved.

Despite it, Nobby won nominations to run for the Magical Progressive Party and elected victoriously in the 1962 general wizarding election. Mass resignations from elders on the Wizengamot followed and heavy blame on the Scamanders for supposedly seeing a Muggle-born (former socialist) head of state and the first in the world. 

Yet Nobby brings peace and understanding towards the conflicts of both worlds and has survived numerous assassination attempts. Even blamed for England’s win in the FIFA World Cup in 1966, he was a mere attendee. Recovering since the last assassination shot, the enemy has no possible way to get him now yet can Nobby run in next year’s 1969 election?

Read the full story in Cor Aut Mors, of the tale in the aftermath of a freer yet still trapped Hogwarts beginning in 1968 to find out the Progressive Party's influential decline.

Calacus Monthly Hit & Miss – Gareth Southgate

Every month we look at the best and worst communicators in the sports world from the last few weeks.

GARETH SOUTHGATE

It has often been said that being the England men’s football manager is ‘the impossible job’ given the levels of expectation that come with the role.

The England men’s team have only won a solitary international tournament – the 1966 FIFA World Cup staged on home soil, with that legendary 4-2 win in the final at Wembley against arch rivals West Germany a rare triumph.

Since then, ‘It’s coming home!’ is a regular theme for England teams who reach the latter stages of tournaments, the groundswell of expectation giving way to despair and heartache when defeat ultimately occurs.

While the influence of the mainstream media may have waned in recent years from the lamentable era when managers such as Graham Taylor had his head super-imposed on a turnip, the pressure still weighs heavy on whoever takes the job.

Big name coaches such as Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello came and went without lifting trophies, the success of the Premier League adding undue hope that this time, things will be different.

After England’s disappointing exit at the hands of Iceland at EURO 2016 and the short-lived tenure of Sam Allardyce after a scandal, what England needed was a safe pair of hands, someone to give the pride back to the Three Lions.

Former international Gareth Southgate, a quiet and under-stated former international defender, was promoted to coach the senior men’s team after a spell in charge of the England under-21 team.

Seen at the time as an underwhelming appointment, especially after his young charges finished bottom of their group in the 2015 European Championship, Southgate inherited a national team who appeared to need dynamic re-invention.

Perhaps his greatest achievement has been to make the team a success without the swashbuckling pizazz that many demanded.

Seen as a light touch, particularly given some of his reactions in-game, Southgate did far more to reinvigorate the men’s team than he is often given credit for.

Football management is a results game, and Southgate took England to the FIFA World Cup semi-final, which they lost against Croatia; before two Euro finals, losing first to Italy on penalties and then to Spain earlier this summer.

It’s important to note that Southgate won nine tournament knockout games during his tenure, as many as England had ever won in major men’s tournaments before his reign.

Some might argue that having worked with one of the more talented of England squads, he should have won a major trophy, but there was far more to his success than just winning games.

Southgate oversaw the England job during a turbulent period in England’s history, with the nation having to endure the drama of Brexit, five Prime Ministers, rising living costs and culture wars which stoked division among society.

That’s where Southgate’s strength lay, acting as a calming influence but also one who was not afraid to take a stand and do what he considered to be the right thing.

During his tenure, there was little to no scandal, such were the standards Southgate expected and secured from his charges.

But he was also brave enough to face down criticisms for the sake of social causes, encouraging his players to take the knee before games as a protest against racism, despite criticism from some of the fanbase, who had found themselves stoked up by populism.

It was fitting that the first game where this took place was an England match in Middlesbrough, where Southgate had played for many years, steadfast despite the mixed reaction from fans before the game.

He was not afraid, either, to address issues such as the rainbow captain’s armband when the decision was made not to wear it under threat of sanctions in Qatar, a conservative state where the FIFA 2022 World Cup took place.

Southgate explained: “I think we are supportive of the LGBT+ community. A large number of the team on the staff have either relatives or friends from that community, so it’s a relationship and a situation that we’re very conscious of.

“We have tried to be supportive, but I also accept that members of that community felt let down by the World Cup, but I think you have to live your life as you see it.

“I do know that we’re in a position where there might be a feeling we haven’t done enough in certain situations and if that’s the case we have to accept that criticism, but it’s not intentional that we would let down any of our fans, but these are all very complex situations that we’re trying to do our best at navigate.”

Qatar was a rare case of Southgate being caught in external political crossfire, but within the camp, he was a master of creating harmony.

Mindful of the factions that had hampered England before, during and after his player career, Southgate had also set about creating unity where there had previously been division, removing ego and selfishness for the selflessness which came naturally to him.

Players reported a good atmosphere during training camps and call-ups, the pressure of representing England being replaced by a calm environment in Southgate’s image, which allowed players to thrive.

That ability to manage egos, to meld players who spent the majority of their lives competing against each other, is one of his greatest legacies. It helped that he brought through players from different clubs who had played together at youth level for England, the bonds of camaraderie already established.

For example, Phil Foden, Marc Guéhi, Conor Gallagher and Jadon Sancho were all part of the England side that lifted the under-17 World Cup in 2017, while Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer played in the winning England under-21 Euros team in 2023. Having come up through the England ranks together, these footballers had an existing relationship that made them likely to form better bonds in the senior team, despite spending most of the year with their different clubs.

When three black England players, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bakayo Saka, received racist abuse online after missing penalties which contributed to England’s defeat in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, something Southgate experienced himself in 1996, the coach was a reassuring figure looking to protect the youngsters from the bellowing external criticism.

He said: "For some of them to be abused is unforgivable really. It's just not what we stand for. We have been a beacon of light in bringing people together in people being able to relate to the national team, and the national team stands for everybody and so that togetherness has to continue.

"We have shown the power our country has when it does come together and has that energy and positivity together.”

The decency and kindness which Southgate exhibited so often has been such an contrast to the aggression and petulance many other coaches show on the sidelines.

It felt like a bond had been built between England players and fans that hadn’t existed for a generation.

Even when ‘fans’ were throwing plastic beer glasses onto the field after a dour 1-1 draw against Denmark, Southgate retained his dignity and humility and faced down his critics, proving that decency is something to invoke inspiration; a strength, not a weakness.

There were criticisms, based around his tactical approach, that he was often too cautious and lacked a clear style of play.

But instead of being seen as the kiss of death, England became adept at winning penalty shootouts, not to mention the progress he made at the business end of tournaments.

Regardless of his failure to lift that elusive trophy, Southgate made the England men’s team contenders again. Where fans often crowed with misplaced pride, he gave them something to be proud of – not only becoming a football force again, but as ambassadors for the English game.

Perhaps it’s fitting that Southgate’s last act as England manager was to publish a letter on the Football Association website confirming that the defeat in Berlin was his last in the role.

“As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all.

“We have the best fans in the world, and their support has meant the world to me. I’m an England fan and I always will be.

“I look forward to watching and celebrating as the players go on to create more special memories and to connect and inspire the nation as we know they can.

“Thank you, England – for everything.”

As Rory Smith says in the New York Times: “No other England manager has spoken as much or as convincingly as Southgate. No other England manager has so successfully articulated a sense of what the England team is meant to be about, what it stands for and why it matters.”

Hello, I'm Pickles the Collie, the 1966 World Cup hero! I'm thrilled to share my incredible story with you.

In 1966, a time of great excitement and anticipation. The world was eagerly awaiting the FIFA World Cup, and England was abuzz with hope and pride. However, just months before the tournament was set to kick off, disaster struck - the Jules Rimet Trophy, the coveted symbol of World Cup victory, was stolen!

I was accompanying my loyal friend, David Corbett, on an errand when we stumbled upon a scene of chaos. Police officers flooded the streets, and the air was thick with tension. As a sharp and perceptive collie, I sensed that something momentous had happened.

David was on a mission to find a payphone to make an urgent call to his brother.

My keen sense of smell led me to a nearby park, where I discovered a bundle of newspapers lying discarded. Something about it felt odd, and I stood there, my instincts on high alert. It was then that I had an Excited: the missing trophy was hidden within!

Wooow!! Seizing the opportunity to become a hero, I worked together with David Corbett to retrieve the trophy and return it to its rightful owners. It was an exhilarating and adventurous experience, and I felt immense pride in playing a part in restoring the stolen treasure to my country.

More importantly, this incident taught me the profound value of loyalty and intelligence. These qualities can make a real difference in the world, and I was grateful for the opportunity to showcase them.

In recognition of our heroic act, David and I were showered with rewards and accolades. I even had the honor of starring in the film "The Spy with a Cold Nose" .

Throughout my life, I've always had a passion for learning and training. Through puppy training and positive reinforcement, I honed my skills and became an obedient and intelligent canine. Today, I'm a devoted companion, cherishing the strong bonds I share with my family and friends.

As a proud Collie, I consider myself fortunate to have played a role in the 1966 World Cup. Collies are not just intelligent dogs; they are loyal companions, sources of inspiration, and bundles of joy. If you're considering welcoming a Collie into your life, I encourage you to provide them with proper training, love, and attention. You'll discover the incredible loyalty and intelligence that these remarkable dogs possess.

Overseas Soccer Broadcasts: Bridging Continents Through the Beautiful Game

Soccer, known as football outside North America, is the world's most popular sport. With billions of fans and a rich history spanning over a century, its influence extends beyond the pitch, uniting cultures and communities globally. Overseas soccer broadcasts have played a pivotal role in this cultural phenomenon, enabling fans worldwide to follow their favorite teams and leagues. This article delves into the evolution, significance, and impact of overseas soccer broadcasts 해외축구중계.

The Evolution of Overseas Soccer Broadcasts

Early Beginnings

The journey of overseas soccer broadcasts began modestly. In the mid-20th century, soccer matches were largely local affairs, with limited media coverage. The first significant shift came with the advent of radio. Fans could now listen to live commentaries, creating a virtual connection to matches happening miles away. However, it wasn't until the introduction of television that overseas broadcasts truly began to take shape.

The Television Era

The 1966 FIFA World Cup in England marked a milestone in soccer broadcasting. It was one of the first tournaments to be broadcast live to a global audience, reaching millions of viewers. This event set the stage for future broadcasts, showcasing the potential of live sports television. The subsequent decades saw rapid advancements in broadcasting technology, with color TV, satellite transmission, and cable TV expanding the reach and quality of soccer broadcasts.

Digital Revolution

The late 20th and early 21st centuries witnessed a digital revolution that transformed overseas soccer broadcasts. The internet and digital streaming platforms revolutionized how fans consumed soccer content. Services like ESPN, Sky Sports, and later, dedicated streaming platforms like DAZN and Amazon Prime Video, offered live matches, highlights, and in-depth analysis. Fans could now watch games on various devices, from televisions to smartphones, anytime and anywhere.

The Significance of Overseas Soccer Broadcasts

Cultural Exchange

Overseas soccer broadcasts have played a crucial role in fostering cultural exchange. By bringing international leagues and tournaments to a global audience, they have introduced fans to different playing styles, traditions, and cultures. For example, European leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A have amassed significant followings in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, influencing local soccer cultures and practices.

Economic Impact

The economic impact of overseas soccer broadcasts is substantial. Television rights for major leagues and tournaments generate billions of dollars in revenue. This financial influx supports clubs, federations, and development programs. Additionally, it has spurred the growth of related industries, such as sports betting, merchandise sales, and tourism. Iconic clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid have become global brands, attracting international investments and sponsorships.

Fan Engagement

Broadcasts have revolutionized fan engagement, making soccer more accessible and interactive. Social media platforms and second-screen experiences allow fans to participate in real-time discussions, share opinions, and engage with their favorite players and clubs. This interaction has created a global soccer community, where fans from different backgrounds and regions connect over their shared passion.

Challenges and Opportunities

Broadcasting Rights and Accessibility

One of the primary challenges in overseas soccer broadcasts is the complexity of broadcasting rights. These rights are often sold to the highest bidder, leading to fragmented coverage across different platforms and regions. This fragmentation can make it difficult for fans to access all matches, especially if they require multiple subscriptions.

Technological Advancements

Technological advancements present both challenges and opportunities. While innovations like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) promise immersive viewing experiences, they also require significant investment in infrastructure and technology. Broadcasters and clubs must balance the demand for cutting-edge experiences with the need to ensure accessibility for all fans.

Piracy

Piracy remains a significant issue in overseas soccer broadcasts. Unauthorized streaming services and illegal downloads undermine the economic model of official broadcasters, affecting revenue streams that support clubs and development programs. Combating piracy requires a multifaceted approach, including legal action, technological solutions, and public awareness campaigns.

Conclusion

Overseas soccer broadcasts have revolutionized the way fans experience the beautiful game. From the early days of radio commentaries to the digital age of streaming platforms, they have bridged continents, creating a global soccer community. The significance of these broadcasts extends beyond entertainment, fostering cultural exchange, driving economic growth, and enhancing fan engagement. While challenges such as broadcasting rights, piracy, and technological demands persist, the future holds immense promise, with advancements set to offer even more immersive, personalized, and accessible viewing experiences. As soccer continues to grow as a global phenomenon, overseas broadcasts will remain a vital link, connecting fans worldwide to the heart of the game.

In this article, we will delve into the history of the World Cup, exploring its inception, evolution, and its enduring impact on the beautiful game.

Introduction

Football, or soccer as it is known in some parts of the world, has been played for centuries. However, the concept of international football and a global tournament to determine the best team on the planet took time to materialize. It was not until the early 20th century that the groundwork for such an event was laid.

The Birth of International Football

In 1904, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, commonly known as FIFA, was established. This global governing body for football was created to regulate the sport and promote its development worldwide. As international matches became more frequent, the need for a global tournament to showcase the best teams became evident.

The Genesis of the World Cup

The vision for the World Cup can be attributed to Jules Rimet, the third President of FIFA. Rimet believed that a tournament of this magnitude would strengthen the bonds between nations and promote peace through sport. His unwavering dedication led to the birth of the World Cup.

In 1930, Uruguay was chosen as the host nation for the inaugural World Cup. The tournament witnessed the participation of 13 teams, including seven from South America, four from Europe, and two from North America. Uruguay emerged victorious, etching their name in history as the first-ever World Cup champions.

The Early Years of the World Cup

Following the success of the inaugural tournament, the World Cup began to evolve. The format changed over the years, with the number of participating teams increasing and the introduction of knockout stages. Italy hosted the event in 1934, amidst the rise of fascism, while France welcomed the footballing world in 1938 amidst political tensions.

World Cups during World War II

The outbreak of World War II had a significant impact on the World Cup. The tournaments scheduled for 1942 and 1946 were canceled due to the global conflict. However, football prevailed, and the World Cup returned in 1950, hosted by Brazil. The final match of that tournament, known as the "Maracanazo," saw Uruguay shock Brazil in front of a record crowd.

The Post-War Era and Global Expansion

In the post-war era, the World Cup continued to grow in popularity and global reach. The 1954 tournament held in Switzerland witnessed the "Miracle of Bern," with West Germany clinching their first title. In 1966, England hosted the World Cup and provided the stage for one of the most iconic moments in football history when they lifted the trophy on home soil.

Evolution and Modernization of the World Cup

As the years passed, the World Cup evolved both on and off the field. Mexico hosted the tournament in 1970, showcasing the beauty and flair of the "beautiful game." Innovations in the tournament structure, including group stages and penalty shootouts, added excitement and drama to the competition. In recent years, technology such as VAR (Video Assistant Referee) has been introduced to ensure fair play.

Impact and Legacy of the World Cup

The World Cup has transcended the realm of sport to become a cultural phenomenon. It has given birth to countless memorable moments, from Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal in 1986 to Zinedine Zidane's headbutt in 2006. Legendary players like Pelé, Maradona, and Messi have etched their names in World Cup history, elevating their status to footballing immortality.

The tournament has also had a profound impact on the host nations, leaving a lasting legacy. It has provided opportunities for economic growth, infrastructural development, and increased tourism. The World Cup has brought people from diverse backgrounds together, fostering a sense of unity and shared passion for the game.

Conclusion

The first World Cup in 1930 marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that has continued to captivate football fans for decades. From its humble origins in Uruguay to the grand stages of modern-day tournaments, the World Cup has become a celebration of skill, passion, and camaraderie. As we eagerly await the next edition, let us cherish the rich history and the indelible impact that the World Cup has had on the world of football.
