Yesterday night Swedish exceptional soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic did it again, scoring the only goal when Manchester United beat Zoraya Luhansk in the UEFA Europe League Group Round, 1-0 at home on Old Trafford in Manchester.
The goal was number 57 for Ibrahimovic in the European tournaments, same number of goals as legendary Italian striker Alessandro Del Piero. Zlatan has now scored goals for seven different clubs in the European cups. Nobody has scored goals for more clubs in the European tournaments.
In Vigo Swedish national team striker, John Guidetti (The Next One) scored the decisive first goal in the 84th minute when Spanish Celta Vigo beat Panathinaikos 2-0 also in the UEFA Europe Legaue Group Round.
In Napoli the home team won 4-2 against Benfica, but the real story was the singing of the Napoli fans before the game.
At the last line of the pre-game song the fans – in all 42,000 spectators – screamed so loud that it was registered at the local seismological institute as a minor earthquake, according to the Corriere dello Sport. This is what sport and soccer means to people.
Time to take another plane after a tour in Asia this week. I have had great meetings.
I have really no idea how many airmiles I have done this year, but I do know that there is a lot of agencies out in the world that needs advise. I am on my way.
It is hard work being away from home, but I really do think that I make a difference.
This week the world of Customs came to Manila to discuss academic research in the field of Customs, trade, borders and security.
The World Customs Organization held its annual Acadmic conference here over the last days.
Government officials, academics, scientists and private sector meet to learn about the latest goobal findings and to discuss the future of international movement of goods and people.
A great meeting. I could not attend the entire event but I did get a chance to meet many friends and colleagues to discuss the future of Customs here in this wonderful city.
All the new research presented made this very well organized event another ‘thrilla-in-Manila’.
