Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Nottingham Forest are trying to book their spot in the Champions League for next season and secure a top-4 finish in the Premier League this season. Nuno Espírito Santo has gone about it in a very different way than most, but it has worked up to this point for his squad. They could be the first team in Premier League history to finish in the top 4 with average possession numbers of less than 40%. What's interesting is that they pair that with dropping off from a higher press as well. They try to pick teams off in the middle third or defensive third, baiting opposing center backs or defensive midfielders by dropping off the ball to take away their passing options. Forest's attackers almost want the opponent on the ball to pass them, they stay high and look for the direct counter. Nuno's side tries to force opponents to play longer or through a crowded middle of the pitch. When Forest wins the ball, they have even numbers to attack with a direct approach. It's worked well. Generally when they've conceded goals, it's been from crosses or from shots outside the 18. Is it a recipe for long term success? It's never been done this way and been successful for one season, so let's continue to wait and see. Could it get Forest to the Champions League? It's possible as 3 spots will get decided between 5 teams that are currently separated by 3 points. Forest is in 3rd at the moment with the top 5 going into next season's Champions League. Leeds and Burnley will rejoin the Premier League next season and have settled into that yo-yo level between the top flight and the Championship. Leeds want to be an established top flight team like they've been for the majority of this history (before the Premier League anyway), but can they get there? It seems that as time continues to tick on, there's a new tier of clubs between the Premier League and Championship. It's not ideal for teams to be constantly going back and forth, but I'm not sure what could be done to prevent these gaps forming between clubs based on riches or spending. Wrexham is trying to change their status as they seek their third straight promotion. They sit in 2nd place in League One right now and are on pace to earn promotion to the Championship. Is that where their promotion train slows? Will make for interesting television either way, right?Georgia high school soccer action is now into the state tournament portion of the schedule. We'll be at Lassiter tonight as the Trojans host Johns Creek in a battle of top 10 teams in the first round of the GHSA Girls State tournament in 6A.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.One of the most frustrating nights in recent memory for Atlanta United, a 3-0 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday. So many different things were maddening in this one, from first half injuries that wrecked sub patterns later when chasing the game, to the responses to goals conceded, to the lack of chances created and touches inside the attacking 18 in the second half. It wasn't good enough on a lot of different fronts and adds to the pressure of going to Orlando next weekend. We'll be in Marietta tomorrow and will have more in Training Ground Dispatch in the afternoon on the SDH Network.Charlotte and Cincinnati top the Eastern Conference in MLS while Vancouver maintains their lead out West. Seattle had a big win at home over Nashville on the weekend. Miami stays unbeaten, defeating Columbus in Cleveland in front of over 60,000 fans. Liga MX playoffs are set with Toluca winning the regular season crown in the Clausura, Club America sneaking into the second seed after Alex Zendejas' contributions of two assists and earning a penalty in the 5-0 win over Mazatlan. Sergio Ramos left Monterrey's regular season finale and is a doubt for their play-in round match against Pachuca while James Rodriguez will miss Leon's first leg of the quarterfinal against Cruz Azul after getting two yellows for dissent in their match over the weekend. Barcelona might have put their UEFA Women's Champions League semifinal against Chelsea out of reach with a 4-1 win at home in the first leg, the final goal in the 90th minute from Claudia Pina might have sealed it. Lyon's scored a late winner from Melchie Dumornay in London to beat Arsenal 2-1 in their first leg, the Gunners will go to France next weekend to try to overturn it. KC Current take the top spot in the NWSL with their ninth straight regular season win and fifth straight in 2025 to open the season, a 2-0 victory over Houston. Real Madrid might now need an interim coach according to AS in Spain for the Club World Cup this summer if they move on from Carlo Ancelotti as expected, perhaps as soon as after this weekend's Copa del Rey final. Santiago Solari, the Director of Football who previously won the Club World Cup in 2018, and legendary former striker Raul, who has been in charge of the second team, are the leading contenders for that role ahead of an appointment of either Xabi Alonso or Jurgen Klopp for next season. It's Spain though, anything could happen this week to change the storylines. More Espresso on Tuesday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Manchmal reicht ein Blick. Ein Spruch. Oder ein stilles Wegsehen. Und plötzlich ist die Stimmung im Team gekippt. Was tun, wenn Kolleg:innen sich respektlos verhalten, Grenzen überschreiten oder sich komplett aus dem Miteinander verabschieden? In dieser Folge spricht Ralf offen über kritische Situationen mit schwierigen Mitarbeitenden – vom passiv-aggressiven Verhalten über unangebrachte Witze bis hin zu Anzeichen von Überlastung oder Sucht. Du bekommst nicht nur einen klaren Blick auf typische Konflikte, sondern auch konkrete Handlungsstrategien, um souverän zu reagieren.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.One of the wildest comebacks in the history of Manchester United might not just save their season, but might just save their status as an elite-level club as the Red Devils were trailing 4-2 to Lyon in extra time with less than 10 minutes to play and they came all the way back to win 5-4 on the night and 7-6 on aggregate. Non-forwards who were pressed into attacking roles Kobbie Mainoo & Harry Maguire scored the goals that leveled it and won it. Of course the Champions League final comeback win is going to be bigger, but there isn't a more shocking comeback and from a deeper position in a meaningful match that I can remember. Spurs continue on in the Europa League as well and Ange Postecoglou is enjoying sticking it to his critics after they knocked out Eintracht Frankfurt. Could it be an all-England Europa League final? Sputs have to get past Norwegian champs Bodo/Glimt while Manchester United will face Athletic Club de Bilbao.All MLS matches this weekend are tomorrow and the highlight is Columbus hosting Miami in Cleveland. Both teams are unbeaten, but Miami does have to think about Thursday's trip to Vancouver for the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals. Some other tasty matchups this weekend, be on the lookout for this week's MLS Six Pack later today on the SDH Network.UEFA Women's Champions League semifinals start this weekend with former Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro leading his Lyon side against the Gunners while Chelsea and Barcelona meet for the third straight year at this stage. Barcelona have won the last two, but Sonia Bompastor will continue the Quadruple-chase for the Blues. African Champions League semifinals also start this weekend as two Egyptian clubs, Al Ahly who have won 4 of the last 5 titles and Pyramids, face two South Africa clubs in Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, respectively. First legs in South Africa this weekend, second legs next Friday in Cairo. According to Spanish reports, Jurgen Klopp has agreed to speak with Real Madrid about their coaching job that is expected to be open after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona next weekend. Carlo Ancelotti is still in the sights of Brazil, who want him in place before the June World Cup qualifiers. More to come on this, but Georgia Impact sent the SDH Network a statement about their inclusion in WPSL Pro, the new women's second division professional league launching next year. "For too long female soccer players thought the end of the road was after 4 years in college. Now we can offer them the opportunity to live their dream by making it as a professional soccer player," said Robert Roddie, the Georgia Impact head coach. Their season at the amateur level of the WPSL starts very soon in Canton, coverage coming shortly all over the SDH Network as they start their preparations for becoming a professional club in 2026. More Espresso on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Simplicity, focus, community, and legacy. These are some words that I feel apply to the steady and excellent service of Hyperion Espresso these last 30 years of operation. When you can measure your business in decades and look back with pride and a full heart, you now you have crafted something lasting and valuable. Today we are going to explore the story of Hyperion Espresso in Fredricksburg, VA w/ co-founder Ana Brugos Born in Madrid, Spain Ana got a degree in Advertising at Universidad Complutense. Moved to Seattle, WA to study art in 1992. She met Dan Peterson and, with his friend Steve Sollien, decided to move to Fredericksburg, VA to open a coffee shop, Hyperion Espresso, in 1994. Dan and Ana married that fall. After 5 years, Steve moved west while Dan and Ana continued and grew with the business. Over the years they expanded the seating and serving area, tried a satellite location that didn't work, increased revenue as the area developed. In the last 20 years they were able to detach somewhat from the business thanks to GM, Amanda Jones.  In 2024, after successfully overcoming set backs like lack of employees and economic downturns, particularly COVID 19, they sold Hyperion Espresso to Jack Scholl owner of Roadmap Coffee.  I am thrilled to get to look back in time with Ana and Amanda and learn what great things can be accomplished when you have clear focus and a simple goal to serve you community well! We discuss: How Hyperion was born Cultural Influences on Coffee Community Building and Customer Engagement Transitioning Roles and Responsibilities Core Values and Business Ethos Navigating Industry Trends and Changes Creating a Unique Customer Experience Focusing on Core Offerings Building a Strong Team Culture Navigating Employee Dynamics Sustaining Passion and Community Engagement Links: www.hyperionespresso.com   Related episodes:

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.WPSL Pro is going to launch in the fall of 2026 as a 2nd division women's professional league in the United States. Georgia Impact, whose season will start soon in the traditional amateur WPSL summer league, is one of the teams who has filed a LOI to join the league. Cleveland is the latest to join, with leaders from the city's NWSL expansion bid pivoting to WPSL Pro and bringing with them plans to build a $50M, 10K seat stadium in downtown for a women's team and a MLS Next Pro side. Initially, WPSL Pro looked at launching as a 3rd division league, but they will step up after the new USL Super League decided to launch as a 1st division league rather than the 2nd division. This league will provide many more professional opportunities to women and will enhance the player development pathway in the United States, while also creating many more opportunities to work in the game off the field. With Canada's Northern Super League kicking off last night, it's an exciting time for women's professional soccer in this hemisphere. Mikel Arteta and Arsenal handled their business in Madrid yesterday, winning on the night and 5-1 on aggregate to advance to the Champions League semifinals. Madrid is seemingly imploding with petty comments after the loss from players complaining about Arsenal's approach on the night (don't lose 3-0 in the first leg), nasty challenges becoming the norm lately, and increased talk about Carlo Ancelotti leaving the club. Sky Sports reports this morning that he will leave after the Copa del Rey final on April 26. While Xabi Alonso has been talked about for a while as the successor, new reports bring Jurgen Klopp's name into the mix. Inter had to sweat more than Arsenal, but they will join them in the semifinals after a draw last night and a 4-3 win on aggregate over Bayern. The treble is still on for Inter at this stage. Manchester United will face a level of pressure perhaps never known in the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal with Lyon today. If they don't advance and then go on to win the Europa League and book a place in the next Champions League, they stand to lose out on over £85M in winnings, nearly £20M more in winnings for the Europa League title, and losses in sponsorship agreements for missing out on Europe entirely in the 2025-26 season. For a club that was reportedly close to being out of money on hand by Christmas, can they handle losses of that level? What does next season look like for them if they don't win the Europa League?Atlanta United's U18's defeated Inter in penalties at the Generation adidas Cup Round of 16 yesterday in Florida. Jonathan Ransom was the Player of the Game for two saves in the shootout and Kaiden Moore converted the essential penalty to send Atlanta into the quarterfinals. Plenty more nuggets inside this edition of the Espresso, including Kevin De Bruyne's possible landing spots in MLS, a new contract in Orlando, TV problems in France, and a Neymar update.More Espresso on Friday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Burn Multiple Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Burn rate is the amount of cash spent over and above the revenue received. It's typically calculated on a monthly basis. Burn multiple is a metric that calculates the capital efficiency of a startup. To calculate burn multiple divide the monthly burn rate by the net new ARR. It shows how much revenue your startup is generating vs dollars spent. The burn multiple shows the efficiency of the business unlike the CAC: LTV ratio which measures just sales and marketing. In most startups raising venture capital the burn multiple ranges from 1X to 3X. Anything below 1x is fantastic.  From 1x to 2x is good 2x to 3x is a problem Over 3x is a major problem. Very early-stage companies may have a 3X burn rate because the revenue hasn't come up yet. At Series A many companies have a 2X multiple. At Series B the burn multiple should drop down to 1X or less. At break even, the burn rate multiple will drop to 0. Check the burn multiple of startups in your portfolio to see if they are tracking for their stage.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Pre Seed Seed Seed+ Seed++ Series A Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In startup funding, the raises come in rounds.   The startup can raise a pre-seed round followed by a seed, then a Series A, Series B, and so forth. Many founders view this approach as one step after the other. The reality is there's a large gap between the Seed and the Series A. Some call this the Valley of Death. This occurs because the startup often moves from family and friends and angel funding to institutional investors. The gap is wide between the two investor types. The funding reality is closer to Seed Seed+  Seed++ another $250K bridge round and then Series A. One strategy is to find bigger and more lucrative customers as you move through the series so you can generate more revenue. This reduces the amount of funding required to reach the next level. Another strategy is to factor this many rounds into your fundraising strategy from the start. Consider the valley of death and how you will cross it with your fundraising planning.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.FIFA President Gianni Infantino, along with City of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and AMBSE President Tim Zulawski, spoke to the media yesterday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and visiting the West End MARTA Station Soccer project. They discussed the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, FIFA's donation of $1M for youth projects to cities hosting Club World Cup games, Atlanta's chances of hosting the Women's World Cup final in 2031, and how FIFA will resolve the final spot in the Club World Cup after Club León were removed. Check out the reel on our Instagram or the short on our YouTube channel for highlights from the press conference.Barcelona and PSG have substantial leads going into their Champions League matches today, but both have to go on the road to finish it out. Unai Emery will be looking for personal revenge against Luis Enrique for La Remontada in which then his PSG was overrun by Luis Enrique's Barcelona in the second leg in 2017 after a 4-0 win in the first leg. Emery's Aston Villa has a better chance than Dortmund today, but it would be a huge shock. Arsenal will try to become the 44th team to advance after taking a margin of 3 or more goals into the second leg in Champions League history, versus 4 times that leader lost the tie in the second leg. The last time it happened, 2019 as Liverpool came back at Anfield against Barcelona. Barcelona are still trying to finish the construction project at the Spotify Camp Nou, now rushing to get the special VIP seats constructed that were "reportedly" sold to unnamed Middle Eastern businesses for €100m. They need these completed in order to receive a delivery receipt in order to then (for the second time after it was thrown out the first time) account for the sale on their books and increase their salary limit. They did this in January which allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on appeal, but then that accounting was thrown out by La Liga, but appeals have allowed Olmo and Victor to continue to be registered, and yeah my head is spinning too. The club is hoping to have the stadium ready to play in before Champions League matches next season, but I wouldn't book flights just yet.The coaching carousel in Brazil has claimed Pedro Caixinha at Santos and Jorge Samapoli, who got spun off the carousel in France at Rennes, might return for another stint at the club. Iraq is looking for a new manager as they try to qualify for their first World Cup since 1986 as they have fired Jesus Casas following poor results in the last round of qualifiers. Plenty more in the podcast below on Club World Cup, the US Open Cup, the USMNT, and more.

The First Raise Is a Minimum Round Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In startup fundraising, many founders try to raise too much funding in the first round. This causes dilution for the founder as the valuation will be low.  In startup fundraising, the first raise is a minimum round. Instead of raising everything you need to accomplish the goals, you should raise a minimal amount to get the initial product up and some revenue coming in. The startup's valuation will be at the lowest point in the life of the business so it's best to raise the smallest amount possible. As the startup builds more products, teams, and revenue the valuation will rise. The majority of the funding comes later when the valuation is higher. This strategy reduces the founder's dilution. In structuring your fundraiser consider what can be done to generate the biggest bang for the buck with the least amount of funding. Then add more capabilities to the product and more team members. By tranching out the product features one can reduce the funding requirements.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

If something never goes away, you're never able to miss it. That's why there's an incredible amount of cynicism surrounding The Last of Us Complete, yet another re-release of the 2013 original and its 2020 sequel, a package that combines both games into something more accessible and affordable for PlayStation 5 owners. Naturally, this is heavily tied into the return of The Last of Us on HBO, and clearly this sort of thing isn't really aimed at us at all. In fact, it's likely very smart business. But that doesn't mean we're longing for something else. Anything else, really. For once. Plus: PS+ price increases slam headlong into Latin America, Portal gets some key UI and UX updates catered toward streaming users, PlayStation's concert series seemingly suffers poor ticket sales, and more. Then: Listener inquries! Should console manufacturers limit hardware sales to their most hardcore audience first? Considering the length of both Uncharted 4 and TLoU2, should be expect Intergalactic to be a very long game? Is the "games are too expensive" argument ultimately a dead end?

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Atlanta United finished off a disappointing home stand with a 1-0 loss to New England on Saturday afternoon at the Benz. Atlanta was the better team on paper once again, but conceded a penalty and little else to the Revs. It was a frustrating day because Atlanta hit the crossbar, the post, and had two goals wiped away due to offside infractions. As I said on the Full Time Report, not going to get into the judgment calls that can be justified by the referee crew. We can disagree, but they can be justified in their interpretations. My issue is the lack of control at times and the lack of yellow cards for persistent infringement, which could have changed things late in the match. New England committed 10 fouls between the 40th and 60th minutes, most of them in the middle third in transition moments or Atlanta build-up play. One yellow card was shown. 20 fouls on the day for the Revs and two yellow cards shown. For better matches in MLS, referees need to use yellow cards for persistent infringement (after warnings of course to try to change the behavior). No one wants to watch one team who isn't really interested in playing much kick the other team repeatedly with limited repercussions.With that being said, Atlanta didn't convert on its chances again, made a defensive mistake again, and didn't take advantage of outplaying the opponent again. Mistakes by individuals have to be eliminated, production has to increase, and an emotional response is needed in games when they're getting away. The team is working hard, but sometimes there isn't that hard foul, or positive body language, or protecting teammates that can generate some momentum in the stands and on the field. It's something I hope to see grow in this group, a little bit of an edge and a little bit of nastiness when needed. Brian White scored 4 times for Vancouver as they demolished Austin 5-1, even with a mouse running onto the field at BC Place. Columbus and Miami remain unbeaten ahead of their showdown in Cleveland on Saturday. Portland is unbeaten in 5 after their 4-2 win in Kansas City. Atlanta United's U18's are off to an unbeaten start at the Generation adidas Cup in Florida, while the U16's need a win today to possibly reach the knockout round. Both teams play San Jose today in Bradenton.Mo Salah broke the Premier League record for goal contributions in a season as Liverpool defeated West Ham 2-1. Newcastle, without Eddie Howe who is in the hospital with an unspecified illness, won 4-1 over Manchester United to solidify their Champions League chase. Fulham is on the road at Bournemouth today, a win would put them 4 points back from the Champions League spots. Kylian Mbappe will be lucky to escape a long suspension after a horrific challenge that saw a red card in Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Alaves.Chelsea's women are still on course for a quadruple as they beat Liverpool to reach the FA Cup final. They'll face Manchester United, who were led by USWNT goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce's incredible double save against Manchester City. Plenty more in the video and audio forms of the Espresso, check out the video on YouTube or the audio wherever you get your SDH podcasts. More Espresso tomorrow on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Valuation Is the Primary Factor Impacting Returns Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are many terms in a startup fundraising terms sheet. Valuation is the primary factor impacting investor returns. Here's an example showing the impact of valuation on the returns. The pre-money valuation plus the investment yields the post-money valuation. The investor's ownership is the investment divided by the post-money valuation. For example, if a startup is raising $1M with a $4M pre-money valuation that yields $5M post-money.   This gives the investor a 20% ownership stake as the post valuation is $1M divided by $5M. In another example, a startup is raising $1M with a $19M pre-money valuation that yields $20M post-money.   This gives the investor a 5% ownership stake as the post valuation is $1M divided by $20M. There are terms that can help mitigate an outsized valuation such as a liquidation preference in which the investor receives their original investment first. Of all the terms in the deal, the valuation is the primary factor to consider.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Edgardo Franzosini"Per espresso desiderio"Gramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.itCi voleva forse un romanzo come Per espresso desiderio per raccontare uno scrittore, un critico e un poeta come Paul Léautaud, morto ultraottantenne nel 1956, ormai da quarant'anni lontano dal mondo letterario, isolato, ostile a tutto quello che lo circondava. E ci voleva un autore come Edgardo Franzosini, noto per i suoi libri meticolosi e nitidi, per svelare il nodo che ha tormentato il poeta francese per buona parte della sua esistenza.“Ho trovato cosa mettere come epigrafe sulla mia tomba,” scriveva Léautaud nel settembre 1921: “Rimpiango tutto”. Tra le occasioni mancate, affidate alle 6500 pagine del suo diario, c'era posto anche per “il rimpianto di essere stato così sciocco davanti ai suoi no quella sera che ero in camera sua e lei si stava spogliando per andare a letto”.La lei a cui si riferiva era la madre, Jeanne Forestier, nata a Parigi nel 1852 da una modesta coppia di borghesi. Una domenica Jeanne, che non ha ancora sedici anni, va a far visita alla sorella Fanny e al suo compagno, Firmin Léautaud, un attore della Comédie Française, e ne diventa l'amante. Da uno di questi incontri, il 18 gennaio 1872, nasce Paul, che la madre abbandona subito per seguire la sua vocazione di attrice. Il futuro scrittore avrà modo di rivederla solo in quattro occasioni.Ma l'incontro cruciale avviene nell'autunno del 1901 a Calais. Paul ha quasi trent'anni, finsero dapprima di non conoscersi, poi, qualche ora dopo, caddero “l'uno nelle braccia dell'altra”, come scrisse Léautaud, ammettendo però che stava forzando i toni. Dopo quella volta non si videro più. Si scambiarono lettere solo per qualche mese. E lui non dimenticò mai quei giorni passati con la madre.Edgardo Franzosini ha cesellato questo piccolo gioiello, che racconta un incesto immaginario. Lo ha fatto trattando una materia bruciante come fosse un entomologo, in un libro eccentrico e appassionante.“Con un'amante la soluzione è una sola, semplice,” pensa Léautaud sprofondando la testa nel cuscino. “Quando è finita con una si comincia con un'altra. Ma con una madre? È come con la vita. Non ne puoi avere due. Se hai fallito con una, hai fallito per sempre.”“Franzosini lavora sui dettagli, costruisce i suoi libri tessendo fatti insoliti, curiosità, aneddoti che divertono senza che il riso allontani il loro mistero.” - Andrea Cirolla, L'Indice dei libri“Franzosini scava nelle pagine, raccoglie un nome e va alla ricerca di ogni dettaglio della sua esistenza, da una storia di poche righe squaderna una vita.” - Chiara De Nardi, DoppiozeroEdgardo Franzosini vive a Milano. Ha pubblicato: Raymond Isidore e la sua cattedrale (Premio L'Inedito-Maria Bellonci e Premio Procida-Elsa Morante), Bela Lugosi.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Tragedy in Chile last night in the Copa Libertadores as two fans lost their lives in violence prior to the match between Colo Colo and Fortaleza from Brazil. Investigations are ongoing, but early reports say that two teenagers lost their lives when a fence collapsed onto them as another group was trying to break into the stadium without tickets. The police involvement in the deaths is also being investigated. As word began to make its way through the stadium prior to the second half, according to Chilean media reports, the supporters inside the stadium held a moment of silence for the deceased fans but then began to chant against the police. A retaining barrier between the bleachers and the field was broken and some fans began to run onto the field. The match was stopped, eventually Fortaleza players got to their locker room, and the referees suspended the match before officially abandoning it hours later. CONMEBOL could levy heavy fines to Colo Colo, declare the match a forfeit and 3-0 loss, and could even remove Colo Colo from the competition. The organization has to institute better security measures across its competitions and take a more proactive stance with its teams and organizations. More to come on this tragedy...News came out yesterday that Major League Soccer will continue further exploration of changing their competition calendar from a February start to an August one, but it won't begin until 2027 at the earliest. It seems inevitable for many reasons, but it's a little surprising that it wasn't ready to be approved for the 2026 season to start after a long World Cup break. Yes, you will have to figure out scheduling flows involving teams in Northern climates in the winter, but your championship match will be in better weather and a better time period in the sports calendar and most importantly, your transfer business will be better aligned with the rest of the world. It will happen, and the sooner the better for the league's continued growth in my opinion. Mo Salah has signed a new 2-year contract with Liverpool, ending a years-long saga about a new deal. Kylian Mbappe is pursuing legal cases against PSG for a reported $61 million he says he is still owed by the club. The club says they had a verbal agreement to exclude bonuses from Mbappe's contract in return for bringing him back into the club after he refused transfers in the summer of 2023 after he said he was going to play out his contract and leave on a free transfer. Ugly situation that needs to get sorted for all concerned. Spotlight on the amount of running Mbappe and his Real Madrid teammates have done in this season's Champions League. They are last out of the remaining 8 teams in miles run in the tournament this season and the three forwards (Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo) are first, second, and fourth in the fewest miles run in the tournament. Quality can overcome that, but Arsenal outran them by 13 kilometers in the first leg of the quarterfinal and it showed in the performance. More Espresso on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

In today's episode, we continue our series on the rise of specialty coffee in France and speak with Tom Clark, Co-founder and CEO of Coutume. Originally from Australia, Tom was among the early pioneers of Paris' specialty coffee movement. While studying in the city, he spotted a clear gap in the market to bring high-quality coffee to French consumers and set up Coutume in 2011. Today, the business operates a thriving roastery and runs 11 locations across the city a growing corporate venue business. In this conversation, Tom reflects on how consumer attitudes have shifted dramatically over the past decade, including a growing willingness to pay for higher quality. He also shares why he believes France is on track to become one of the top five specialty coffee markets in the world.  Credits music: "You" by Kirsten Izer in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB CollectiveSign up for our newsletter to receive the latest coffee news at worldcoffeeportal.comSubscribe to 5THWAVE on Instagram @5thWaveCoffee and tell us what topics you'd like to hear

Consider Dilution in Setting Your Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In startup fundraising dilution is a key issue for founders. At each stage of funding investors will demand a certain amount of equity. Here's how much each round will cost a startup in equity: Pre-seed Typically funded by family and friends the cost of funding is 5 to 10%. Seed Angels take 5 to 10% while venture capitalists take 10 to 25%. Seed+ Most founders will need additional funding to carry the business forward.   Seed+ rounds cost the same amount as seed rounds. Series A Venture capital investors will seek 15 to 25% of equity at this stage. Series B Later-stage VCs look for 10% to 20% of the equity at this point. Series C and following. Growth equity investors look for 10% to 15% at this level. Consider the impact of dilution on your startup from fundraising.    Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.What a day of soccer yesterday, and it was punctuated by an incredible match as Miami came back to knock LAFC out of Concacaf and advance to the semifinals of the Champions Cup. Lionel Messi scored twice and assisted on the other one to lead Miami to a 3-2 win on aggregate, 3-1 on the night. The match had drama, near misses, hard fouls, screaming and yelling, controversial calls, everything you could hope for. Vancouver gave their fans plenty to enjoy as well as Tristan Blackmon's stoppage time volley pushed the Whitecaps past Pumas on away goals and books their ticket for a semifinal showdown with Miami later this month.PSG and Barcelona put on great displays in the UEFA Champions League yesterday afternoon. Luis Enrique's side came back after conceding first to defeat Aston Villa 3-1. Désiré Doué led PSG back with an incredible curling goal, he's a name you need to get to know as the 19-year old might be the best young player this side of Lamine Yamal (who was also brilliant for Barca in their demolition job of Borussia Dortmund). Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's goal for PSG to make it 2-1 was another brilliant piece of individual quality after a beautiful team build-up. Dribbling is down in the top 5 European leagues 21% according to Opta. It's a shame when you see the top teams in the world use dribbling to great effect (the world champions Argentina, the European champions Spain, PSG, Barcelona, etc.). Pablo Aimar told TyC in Argentina that he feels it's because the young players aren't getting the free play elements in the neighborhood that his generation did, to go along with the professional coaching players received in the clubs. Embrace dribblers at a young age, encourage it, don't take it away from the kids. It can always be refined later, but it's important in players developing their own personalities on the field. Hopefully youth coaches and clubs can find ways to allows kids to develop this going forward. Liverpool making progress in retaining Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, according to reports. Plenty more nuggets in the podcast, please check it out and subscribe to get these four times per week! More Espresso tomorrow on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Does the startup have access to a substantial amount of data? Cost of processing. How much does it cost to process the data? Machine learning. Also called  ML. Do they have their own ML model or are they using an open-source one? Core competency. What is their core competency -- core data, machine learning, user interface, and others? ML skills. Does the team have a core skill set around developing ML? Data collection regulatory Does the team gather and use the data sets within compliance? Consider these factors when you are conducting your diligence on an AI startup.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.UEFA Champions League quarterfinals start today, and today's matchups are the more tightly contested ones. According to Opta's prediction module, Arsenal-Real Madrid is the toughest quarterfinal to predict. It gets started in London today. Very little history between the two, Thierry Henry led the Gunners to a win in the Round of 16 over the Galacticos in 2006, but that's it. Madrid's defensive woes will be the focus for Mikel Arteta's attack, especially with Bukayo Saka back in action for Arsenal. Bayern host Inter today as well, two of the best defensive teams in Europe this season. However, Bayern are missing Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upemecano to injury so that defense is nowhere near full-strength. Tomorrow's quarterfinals see Barcelona heading to Borussia Dortmund and PSG hosting Aston Villa. In the second legs of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals tonight, Cruz Azul hosts Club América while the LA Galaxy have to go to Monterrey to face Tigres. Gabriel Pec is back for the Galaxy, but it's a big ask to get past Tigres considering LA has only won one match in ten in 2025.Tomorrow, Pumas will host Vancouver while Miami hosts LAFC.Your Copa Libertadores match to watch tonight is Barcelona SC, led by the dashing Sir Second Alexander Castle (Segundo Alejandro Castillo for newcomers to the Morning Espresso), traveling to Buenos Aires to face River Plate. Can't wait to see what Castillo wears on the touchline, but there won't be any fans in the building to see it as River has to play behind closed doors due to punishments from CONMEBOL dating back to the 2024 Libertadores semfinal that saw many rules violations from the club (fireworks, etc) and racist behavior from the stands. It was reported yesterday that Inter Miami holds the discovery rights to Kevin De Bruyne. However, they don't have a Designated Player slot for him, so he would have to take a maximum TAM deal to sign for the rest of the 2025 season (around $870K). Will he take a deal for that to get a DP deal next year? Lots still to sort out. Big time congrats to Soccer America as they begin their 55th year of publication today. It was on this date that their first edition was published in 1971. The work done by Clay Berling and so many others to cover the game in this country, and what is now being continued by Paul Kennedy and Mike Woitalla and their team, is unmatched and has been essential to growing the game in this country. Soccer America is a must for anyone in the sport in this country. We're not here without them. Thank you to everyone who has ever been associated with SA! More Espresso coming on Thursday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

We will be live from the Benz this morning for the conclusion of the Atlanta United 2 match against Inter Miami II. Join Madison Crews and me for midgame pregame coverage starting at 10:50 followed by the resumption of the match in the 25th minute at 11am. Listen on soccerdownhere.mixlr.com. Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Atlanta United was lacking in their 1-1 draw with Dallas on Saturday night. They had more control and possession, but the final pass wasn't there consistently enough as the team had some of it's lowest outputs for shot created actions and key passes this season. Perhaps that was down to Alexey Miranchuk's adductor injury that forced him to come off the bench, he nearly won the match late with a cross to Jamal Thiare that was headed wide. Tristan Muyumba was brilliant on the ball and defensively in the match, a deserving Man of the Match in the midfield. We'll see what is taken away from the night and what is built upon this week as the Five Stripes prepare to host New England next Saturday afternoon. We'll have Training Ground Dispatch on Tuesday and Thursday this week to break everything down. Toronto played their best game of the season last night on Sunday Night Soccer as they drew 1-1 with Miami. Great goals from Bernardeschi and Messi late in the first half. Vancouver and San Diego are taking control in the Western Conference after nice wins on Saturday. Kansas City got their first win since last September in a 2-0 win over St. Louis in Kerry Zavagnin's first match in charge. San Jose destroyed DC on the anniversary of the first ever match in league history, Josef Martinez turned back the clock for another hat trick to add to his record setting tally in MLS.Trinity Rodman scored in her return to the USWNT, leading a 2-0 win over Brazil at SoFi Stadium in LA. They'll play again tomorrow night. The US U17 women earned qualification to the World Cup in Morocco later this year after a 7-0 win over El Salvador in qualifying.Southampton became the earliest team to be relegated in Premier League history and are on pace to have the lowest point total ever. Ivan Juric was sacked this morning after winning one league match in his 100+ days in charge.In Brazil, the federation has banned players from standing on the ball in matches. Memphis Depay, Neymar, Gabigol, and others have criticized the decision. Players who now stand on the ball during a game will get a yellow card and the ball will be turned over to the opponent via a goal kick. Yes, the move is a taunt. Don't like it? Don't let players have the opportunity to do it. Want to get back at them? You'll have your chances in the match. Silliness all the way around. More Espresso tomorrow on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. The Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability rules are a farce when clubs can sell their own assets to themselves to get around them. Chelsea sold their own women's team to themselves and posted a pre-tax profit of nearly $170 million. UEFA might fine them for breaking their Financial Fair Play rules, but the transaction is a "legal" way to avoid breaking the Premier League's regulations for losses over a three-year period. These rules are not like salary caps or spending limits to ensure parity, these are reportedly to help prevent teams from going bankrupt easily. They're actually making it harder in some cases for clubs to invest in their product, they're forcing loopholes like this to be exploited, and if there's so many ways around them, are they actually helping clubs run themselves more sustainably? The Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), the Spanish government's High Sports Council, has upheld the appeal from Barcelona on the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor on rules' technicalities. This is not referring to yesterday's news about the rogue auditor who worked for four days saying that the club received a mystery $100 million from mystery people or businesses that allowed them to have the revenue to raise their spending limit to register Olmo and Victor according to the rules, the CSD is just saying that La Liga and the Spanish FA committee that either canceled the registrations or revoked the registrations didn't have the authority to do so. Fun times, this isn't going away any time soon.  This weekend celebrates the 30th season of Major League Soccer as they go back to where they started, San Jose, as the Quakes host DC United on Sunday. On the same date in 1996, the then-Clash hosted DC in the inaugural match in league history. Apple TV released a mini-documentary yesterday to talk about that game and league's history. Third round draw for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup was conducted yesterday. I feel bad for Knoxville and the Chattanooga Red Wolves who have to make long trips out west to face Colorado Springs and Las Vegas, respectively. Excited to see Tormenta make the trip to Charleston again as that rivalry continues to grow.  Monterrey's Sergio Canales needed 10 stitches in his left leg and kicking a glass door at Rayados' training facility after a training pitch argument with manager Martin Demichelis.  Brazil is reportedly exploring hiring Jose Mourinho as their new national team manager. No, just no. Breaking this morning, Kevin De Bruyne is leaving Manchester City at the end of the season and will be available on a free transfer. Is he headed to MLS?  More Espresso Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.An auditor who worked for Barcelona for four days is the only one who included the €100million sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors and now that has been questioned by La Liga, which could lead to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations being in question. When you think this story is as ridiculous as it could possibly be, the scriptwriters find something else even more ridiculous to add into the mix. In reports filed from the previous auditor, who worked through sometime on December 31, and the unknown auditor who worked from December 31-January 3, and the next auditor who started on January 3 (we think)... only the unknown auditor had the sale included. That sale allowed Barcelona to have the additional salary cap space per La Liga rules to extend Olmo & Victor's registrations into 2025. But that sale either didn't happen, wasn't properly accounted for, or something else because it didn't show up on a subsequent financial report. Lots for the courts, league, and federation to sort out in Spain. And it affects a potential bid for a quadruple from Barcelona who are leading La Liga, won the SuperCopa, alive in the Champions League, and now into the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Real Madrid. Announced this morning, the bid led by the US (which might or might not include Mexico as a co-host) was the only one submitted by the deadline to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade that other Concacaf nations could be involved in hosting matches, something that has been reported recently here in the US. The 2035 tournament will be hosted by Great Britain as it was the only to submit a bid in time for that event. LAFC beat Inter Miami last night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, the first loss for the Herons in 2025 in all competitions. Nathan Ordaz with the goal in the second half, second leg is in Ft. Lauderdale next week. Chattanooga Red Wolves won the penalty shootout across town at Finley Stadium to knock Chattanooga FC out of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in the second round in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Over 12K were on hand for the game, 4th largest crowd in CFC history and their largest in a long time, 2nd largest in the 2nd round in the history of the USOC. Jose Mourinho did another ridiculous thing, which is becoming commonplace for him at this stage of his career. He grabbed the face of the opposing manager after yesterday's Turkish Cup match between his Fenerbahce & Galatasaray. The ridiculous actions seem to come on a bi-weekly basis for Mourinho at this stage, sad after one of the greatest careers for a manager in history but completely inexcusable to act in this manner. Liverpool defeated Everton yesterday 1-0, Everton should have had a player sent off for a horrendous challenge, but Liverpool's goal was controversial as well. Referees got it right according to how the rule is written, but I'm asking IFAB to consider changing the Laws of the Game to account for situations like this. When a pass is made for a player in an offside position, that should make them active in the play, regardless of whether they move for the ball or not. Defenders have to play the ball in that situation because they don't know if the player is offside from their vantage point. The defender shouldn't be punished for playing that ball by that action allowing the offside player to be now in an onside position. Luis Diaz was onside according to the letter of the LOTG, but not the spirit in my opinion and this should be changed going forward in interpretation.
