Homenagem Ana Picasso

Depende muito do que a federação de lá fizer.

 

Um texto de um amigo meu sobre isso (o gajo é argentino e acompanha quase todas as competições do continente americano):

 

 

 

The U.S.A. is not that far from the strong teams, right now I feel they are on Mexico's level or even a little higher but you are doomed to stall there if you don't change. You reached there by copying Mexico, yes it was good for you, but there is a reason Mexico never evolves. Competition, you need to open up and play against the best of the best in different circumstances, get your teams in the Libertadores Cup (Not the Concachampions crap the Mexicans invented for pure marketing reasons, where they play against semi-amateur teams from Honduras or El Salvador), take your teams and players to play in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Bolivia and it's 11942 feet altitude, in hostile environments, in a battered up pitch, with partial refs and a good old fashioned battle royal here and there that makes Libertadores Cup the best tourney in the world.
You can't use the NFL, NBA, MLB method in the MLS, that won't work, your players need to develop outside your country, if one of them is to good for your league, don't overpay him to stay, let him walk. Create more franchises and get a proper relegation and promotion system, let your teams, players and fans know that bad things happen when you lose. Pay real salaries, the U.S. is not Qatar, that has no real intention of being competitive. Don't hire washep up players five years past their prime for huge contracts, they are not worth it, spend that money creating regional leagues with a lot of clubs to develop young players for your franchises.
And while you are at it you can destroy the entire Concacaf, merge with the Conmebol and get a real sense of competition in the World Cup qualifiers.

Fdx se este jogo não angariar metade daqueles americanos como fãs de soccer, já não há volta a dar

Já têm vários milhões. E estas exibições vão ajudando.

Não tenho dúvidas nenhumas que a médio prazo vão-se tornar num caso sério de futebol.

Têm muita entrega e raça, mas não vejo qualidade por aí além!

[Kinas_]

Daí eu não ter escrito "atualmente" e ter escrito "a médio prazo"! :-..

[thanagarian]

Ter "apenas" raça e entrega é "apenas" ter mais do que muitas seleções demonstraram neste Mundial.

A Taça de Libertadores é o melhor torneio mundial? Uhm...

[thanagarian]

Foi o que ele disse. Deve ser por causa de ser mais equilibrado e de ter mais emoção ao longo da prova do que os restantes torneios (confesso que só vi algumas finais da prova).

[DeathShadow]

Pela lógica dele, a fase de qualificação para o Mundial da América do Sul é melhor que o Mundial em si.

 

Enfim, é-me difícil concordar.
