  2. SOUTH AFRICA • 11 Officially recognized languages – English used in Road signs, Hotels, & Business • June is mid-winter in South Africa • Average monthly income is estimated at $372 • SA fans rarely pay more than $2 a ticket to watch a local game, $19 for group game • To watch South Africa play Mexico in the opener a locals will have to pay $67 • Tickets Sold • SA - 925, 437 US - 118,945 • UK - 67,654 Germany - 32,269 • 2 Hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+2) • 7:00 pm Tuesday in Midway - 1:00 am Wednesday in Johannesburg

  3. Germany Coach Joachim Loew Jogi • Born, February 3, 1960 in Schönau im Schwarzwald Black Forest • Private life, wife Daniela (no children), Freiburg • Player, striker with unremarkable career (player/coach) • Coach,  in Germany, Austria and Turkey, with Stuttgart and Fenerbahce • 1997, won Stuttgart to German Cup • 1998, Stuttgart to UEFA Cup • 2002, won Austrian championship • 2004, Juergen Klinsmann picked Loew (unknown) as assistant Germany World Cup team • 2006, Germany finishes 3rd in World Cup, Klinsmann retires, Loew named successor • Maybe he is so popular because we know so little about him. Even after almost two years as the Germany coach, the nation knows nothing about Joachim Loew's political leanings. He gives only vague answers about the books he reads, what music he listens to. Added to that, his wife, a teacher, wants to maintain her privacy and hardly ever accompanies him in public.

  4. Followers • 27 Players Named • 26 play for German teams, 1 England • 22 born in Germany, 3 in Poland, 1 in Brazil, 1 Yugoslavia • 5 players have World Cup experience • 1 player (Lahm) played in all 690 minutes of 2010 finals

  5. Star Players • Michael Ballack (FC Chelsea) The captain, the leader, and Loew’s right hand man on the field. Ballack is the player who enjoys the most respect in the national team – also from his opponents as well. He is great in the air and good at set pieces, he is always ready to score the most important goal of the match. • Miroslav Klose (Bayern Munich) Klose is still an important player for the national team. The winner of the Golden Shoe in the 2006 World Cup, he has played 93 games and scored 48 times. He could earn his 100th cap for Germany is South Africa. • Mesut Oezil (Werder Bremen) The Werder Bremen midfielder may not be the star man on his team just yet but he has the potential to be a future great. He is the creative force in the German midfield and great things are expected of him in South Africa.

  6. World Cup Qualifying The three-time world champions ended up qualifying with an impressive eight wins in 10 games and never seemed to be in trouble. Key to their qualification was a pair of victories over Russia that allowed the Germans to wrap up a World Cup berth with one game remaining in the qualifiers.

  7. Record • Winner • 1990 (Italy) West Germany vs reigning champ Argentina, 1-0 • 1974 (West Germany) West Germany vs Netherlands, 2-1 • 1954 (Switzerland) West Germany (underdog) vs Hungary, 3-2 • "Das Wunder von Bern" ("The Miracle of Berne") • Runner Up • 2002, 1986, 1982, 1966 • Third Place • 2006, 1970, 1934 • 2010 – 17th appearance at World Cup (15th consecutive)

  8. Playing HardballThe HBR Way • Relearn the fundamental behaviors of winning • Focus relentlessly on competitive advantage • Strive for “extreme” competitive advantage • Avoid attacking directly • Exploit people’s will to win • Know the caution zone • Deploy these in bursts of ruthless intensity: • Devastate rivals’ profit sanctuaries • Plagiarize with pride • Deceive the competition • Unleash massive and overwhelming force • Raise competitors’ costs

  9. PRAISE of the Incomplete Leader Only when leaders come to see themselves as incomplete, will they be able to make up for their missing skills by relying on others

  10. What Makes a Good Leader Emotional Intelligence

  11. Challenges • Controversy over Loew’s contract • Bieroff • DFB give Loew 14 days • “We are considering our options (for the captaincy), but we are doing it calmly and without getting hectic because there is no need for that • Lost Players • FIFA selected 30 referees • Mexico & New Zealand only countries with 2 • US, zero
