This edition of the Resilience Playbook is a short detour, inspired by a month of world-class football—a sport I've enjoyed as a player, coach, and fan for nearly half a century. We'll explore the connections between a red card reversed by a presidential phone call, a century-old rivalry between two shoe companies, and how Argentina's football academies outlasted the country's own economic golden age. Each tells us something unique about how institutions can thrive in turbulent times. As Spain and Argentina take the pitch later today, I hope you enjoy this perspective on the beautiful game, and how it both shapes and is shaped by the world around it. ⚽🌎 #WorldCup
