Why would someone be against more soccer?!
You don't want a player getting hurt, period. The WBC has such a risk, whether in March or June. In June, since players are used to a break, and...
Why? From an European perspective, there already are three competions in June/July (World, Euro, Confed.). They are moving toward completing the...
I loved your take on this. Thanks! I have two question: a) why a Caribbean Football Confederation would be a bad idea? b) what Central American...
Che, my answer is already given above: So, I am from the border; from the Brazilian Gaucho region. Culturally, we are halfway between Rio and...
Every day, man. Every day... I am a mate enthusiast!
I am not a purist by any means whatsoever. I was simply pointing that there is no need to fear globalization. Freedom is cause of two antagonistic...
Last time I have checked, I still had Gaucho folkwear in my drawer, Portuguese (and Spanish) is still spoken in my hometown, my library hadbooks...
Our qualifying system is the best! I wouldn't change a bit. As I have said in the post Unak has quoted here, it should become a LEAGUE!...
Yes. It is my wishlist. Unak wanted to tell me that Part III seems to be underway... :-)
My DREAMS would, then, COME TRUE! A 20-association Confederation of North, Central, and South America would be AWESOME! All hail the great...
Close to what I suggested above. There would be an one-week mid-season break every year.
They would be "exhausted." Stop one week mid-season every year, and there would be no excuse.
Well, I am not much aware of how cold those places can be in December. I thought they could easily reach >40°F...
Interesting. But wouldn't they be too tired, though? Or beyond pitch count? Moreover, being Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, where WBC would be...
Central Zone (MEX): 10 teams - 10 MEX a) CCL (Round of 16), 4 spots – MEX 1-4; b) CCL's Second Qualifier, 4 spots – MEX 5-8; c) Liga Concacaf...
Please, don't get me wrong, MY PERSONAL preference would be for a CCL with FOUR teams only: one from Mexico; one from US/Canada; one from Central...
Calm down. That is for the Qualifiers only... Those 16 Mexicam teams would play in the Central Zone for FOUR spots in the Champions League...
Funny is that they had it right before, with a three-game-first-to-five-point series. MLS playoffs should be structured like this: WildCard...
My mistake. Here is the thread for the WBC: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/fixing-the-world-baseball-classic.2039618 And the thread for the...
The WBC has so much potential, but it seems that, by being played in March, it is not allowed to fully develop. What if WBC were structured after...
I have drafted a proposal to fix this mess. It is in this thread: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/fixing-champions-league-and-more.2039608/
DC United and Grêmio.
For those curious about the WBC, here it goes: WBC should be inspired by ITF’s Davis Cup: made only of knockout series (best-of-three), with one...
I have this Quixotesque impulse to organize sport leagues and tournaments. I never actually write to someone that actually works with it, but I...
