...Santander's Abbey acquisition, which still needs shareholder approval, pans out. No one in Europe has more experience of bank deals than Botín, 69, who built Santander into a Spanish giant by two tie-ups in his home market. Santander is also heavily invested in Latin America, where it has a network of some 3,900 branches and 52,200 employees at a time when markets there are especially volatile. So in buying Abbey, Botín was seeking diversification. "The acquisition will balance Santander's risk while buying a bank with a critical volume that will allow...
...grassy fields of suburban Long Island where Foer first played the game as a child. America's professional soccer clubs - or "franchises," as they're uniquely known in the U.S. - were created from scratch in the 1990s, and carry none of the encoded history of their European and Latin Americans counterparts.

The European clubs seek the silky ball handling skills, speed and unpredictability of players who play the Brazilian game - whether from Latin America, Africa or even France or Portugal - but mix it up with organizational traditions long established in Europe. Arsenal's Premiership winning squad last season relied on a combination of English and African defenders; a set of midfielders comprising two Frenchmen, two Brazilians and a Swede...
