All About The People (Part 2)

In episode 10 of the Love Soccer Podcast, Jonathan Janik continues his conversation with Tedd Ogren. Part two of this interview dives into Tedd’s service-side soccer life—organizing base teams worldwide, forging friendships across ranks, and stewarding the Pentagon Soccer Club.

He recalls the Donovan Cup honoring Bill Donovan, complete with anthems, a gleaming new trophy, and a final British Embassy match capped by a catered Embassy Row celebration. From an appearance playing at the Samsung factory to his love of Dutch Total Football, Tedd shows how the game becomes diplomacy in boots.
