“In the past, the British had signally failed to build an effective structure of royal authority and administration in their American colonies. As a result, no possibility existed of soothing and winning over influential and talented Americans, in the way that influential and talented Scotsmen were increasingly being won over, by giving them increased access to state employment.” WayGivingStatesPastWinningResultsPossibilityAuthorityStructureBritishAccessEmploymentAdministrationRoyalInfluentialColonySoothingBritish HistoryScotsmen Book:Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707-1837 Source: Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707-1837
“To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.” IfsMeanHas BeensCountryPlayAgeTogetherWinningPiecesPlayerTeamPossibilityFootballConvincedGermanyThis DayCould Have BeenBest PlayersBest FootballFootball PlayerMosaics Author:Marcello Lippi
