Major League Soccer (MLS) began play in 1996 with ten teams (Stejskal, 2017). Part of the United States' 1994 World Cup bid, the league was officially announced in 1993 and struggled to find solid footing in its early years (Froh, 2020). Over the next two and half decades, MLS would see multiple rounds of expansion, with the first occurring in 1998 with the addition of Chicago Fire and Miami Fusion (Stejskal, 2017). Now in its 26th season, the league features 27 teams currently playing and three announced expansion franchises, all set to begin within the next two seasons (MLS, 2021). With each new expansion, the standard of the league is lifted in terms of on-field play, monetary support, and general structure (Freedman, 2013). In 2008, league Commissioner Don Garber first used the term "MLS 2.0" to discuss the positive changes in the league ushered in by well-executed expansion team Toronto FC, the Designated Player rule that enabled an era of larger team salaries, and the Homegrown player initiative (Freedman, 2013). The Homegrown program is a system that allows teams to sign their youth players to special contracts that have a limited impact on the team's salary cap, creating a strong incentive for clubs to invest in youth talent. In the years since the birth of the term, fans and sportswriters have discussed MLS 2.0, including the clubs and actions that move the league forward. Manchester City's ownership group investing an MLS in 2015 was a prime example of MLS 2.0 according to many sports writers. Each new league facility, including D.C. United's long awaited soccer specific stadium reignite this line of debate. Prior to the 2018 MLS Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta United fans hoisted a pre-game tifo, a massive, supporter created vertical banner, declaring their club as "MLS 3.0" (Hutcherson, 2018). Considered one of the new, young standard-bearers in the league, Atlanta is known for massive crowds, a rowdy soccer culture previously unseen in America, and spending lavishly on transfer fees for star players (Graham, 2018).

Annali di Storia delle universit`a italiane (ISSN 1127-8250) Fascicolo 1, gennaio-giugno 2024
ITA Il regime fascista si servì frequentemente delle sue organizzazioni giovanili per ragioni di politica estera e lo sport fu uno dei principali strumenti usati dai giovani per stringere e consolidare relazioni internazionali. I Guf erano l’organizzazione coinvolta più spesso in attività sportive con i rappresentanti di altri Paesi e fino alla metà degli anni Trenta ebbero un ruolo di primo piano nella Confederazione internazionale degli studenti. Dopo la guerra di Etiopia, però, si allontanarono dal movimento universitario internazionale, coltivando rapporti solo con la Germania nazista e con pochi altri Paesi. La diplomazia studentesca, infatti, seguiva la più generale evoluzione delle relazioni internazionali italiane. L’articolo si propone di analizzare il ruolo delle attività sportive universitarie nella politica estera del regime fascista e di metterne in evidenza i risultati e i limiti, sulla base dei documenti conservati presso l’Archivio centrale dello Stato e l’Archivio storico-diplomatico del Ministero degli Affari esteri. ENG The fascist regime frequently made use of its youth organizations for foreign policy purposes, and sports were one of the main tools used by young people to forge and strengthen international relations. The GUF (University Fascist Groups) were the organization most often involved in sporting activities with representatives from other countries and, until the mid-1930s, played a leading role in the International Confederation of Students. However, after the Ethiopian War, they distanced themselves from the international university movement, maintaining relations only with Nazi Germany and a few other countries. Student diplomacy, in fact, followed the broader evolution of Italian international relations. My article aims to analyze the role of university sports activities in the foreign policy of the fascist regime, highlighting its achievements and limitations. Main sources are the documents of the Central State Archive and the Historical-Diplomatic Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This note records some thoughts on what "glorification" means in this verse in John 17:5, and generally in John's gospel. It suggests that, despite a tradition that has developed of reading it this way in evangelical circles, the "glorification" of the Lord Jesus in John is not always, or even usually, a reference to the cross alone. Instead, it is suggested that the concept of "glorification" of the Son of God in John's gospel is a complex idea, and that the best way of summing up what it means is that it refers to the whole sequence of events whereby the Lord Jesus is crucified, rises from the dead, ascends to be with the Father in glory, and sends the Holy Spirit. Some references will be primarily to one aspect or another of this complex "glorification event", and so in some cases it will be appropriate to say that what Jesus means when he speaks of being "glorified" is indeed his death on the cross; but in other cases it will mean something else. Each use will need to be determined by taking into account the context and meaning of the usage. In particular, it is suggested that in John 17:5 Jesus' prayer is not that he be taken to the cross viewed as a separate event-it is a prayer that he should undergo the whole process of cross/resurrection/ascension which will lead to him sharing in heaven the place of honour with his Father that has rightly been his since before the foundation of the world. Since this is the case, then his prayer in John 17:1 "glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you" will mean essentially the same thing: "bring about the events that need to take place so that you, the Father, will be glorified by eternal life being given to all those whom you have determined will share in this life" (see v 2). It is true to say that this prayer includes the implicit acceptance that these events will include the cross-so that this prayer is saying something very similar to the prayer in Gethsemene recorded in Luke 22:42: "yet, not my will but yours be done". But the prayer also looks forward confidently to the fact that the Lord will raise his Son, the Messiah, from the dead, and bring him back to sit with him in the heavenly realm. Full demonstration of these propositions would require more work, but I suggest that they follow from the following evidence of use of the words "glory" and "glorification" (and the related concepts of "being lifted up" or "exalted") in John's gospel (to which all verse references refer, unless otherwise specified).

In this work we present a reflection on the use of the coin in the Roman villas of the province of Lusitania. We have selected three important villae and we have studied the coins discovered in these three cases. Our intention is to connect the use of currency with economic and social practices: the consumption of luxury and semi-luxury goods as an indicator of social status.
