También es un hecho que no se ha terminado de articular una estrategia para desarrollar todo el potencial del español como lengua de comunicación y de negocios en el ámbito internacional, como tampoco se ha hecho en el propio ámbito de la industria de la lengua.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Serie A was known as 'Il campionato più bello del mondo' – the most beautiful championship in the world – and had the highest match attendances in Europe. The stadiums were not only full of people, but full of colour, flags, songs and rituals. Italy hosted World Cup 1990 and the stadia and stars on show in Serie A became iconic.

But then in the 2000s they began to fall behind and despite the Azzurri winning the World Cup in 2006 and Inter Milan winning the Champions League in 2...

Con Los exploradores de Hitler, Javier Martínez-Pinna vuelve a introducir al lector en la apasionante aventura de encontrar alguno de los tesoros ocultos más anhelados de nuestro pasado, esta vez siguiendo la pista a los investigadores nazis que durante años recorrieron el mundo al servicio del Tercer Reich.

While rivalry is embedded in any sporting event or performance, soccer, the world’s most popular mass spectator sport, has been an emblem of such rivalries since its inception as an organized sport. Some of these rivalries grow to become long-term and perennial by their nature, extent, impact and legacy, from the local to the global level. They represent identities based on widely diverse affiliations of human life—locality, region, nation, continent, community, class, culture, religion, ethnicity, and so on. Yet, at times, such rivalries transcend barriers of space and time, where soccer-clubs, -nations, -personalities, -organizations, -styles and -fans float and compete with intriguing...
