Football Fever

Ok, I really do have it. I was even late for work today. Boo Hoo for a multi-national corporation. The FIFA World Cup went off with out a hitch, and will be going on for the next couple of weeks. I have yet to catch an actual match, which kind of sucks, but I can't really be bothered to wake up super early in the morning just to catch a few prelims of non-favourite teams. I'm backing the Dutch and the Japanese this year, and if they get knocked out early, I will be backing the underdogs till the end. It really is too bad that Canada's national team doesn't do that great in international play. However they seem to do so-so in terms of North/Central/Caribbean American play. It just does not make sense that so many people seem to play football for fun, but we just do not produce talent like other countries. One Day friends.... One day.

"It just does not make sense that so many people seem to play football for fun, but we just do not produce talent like other countries."

Its not the production of talent, but rather the improvement (or lack thereof) of players once they turn pro.

Players get good by playing with other good players. The Euro players play against the best in the world. The NA players play against the ones that aren't good enough to make it to Europe. The skill development of league players reflects this.

Until there is a pro leage with players of Euro calibre in NA, you will not see any significant progress for NA teams.
