Would it be great if they could add soccer to the Commonwealth Games? The tournament would like be made up of U-21 teams. The soonest it could start would be 2010. I belvie it would be late to add it for 2006 in Melbourne.
It wouldn't be a bad idea, except as someone mentioned before the BigSoccer Wipeout, the Games coincides with the beginning of the season and clubs will be unwilling to release their players, especially right after the World Cup. Remember that most top U-21 players play at the senior level with their clubs. Plus, other than the Home Nations and to a lesser extent Australia, no other Commonwealth nation can really be considered even a contender in soccer.
That tends to be very rare. Most 18 and 19 year olds don't play at the top level. Only in rare circumstances. Let's look at the possible teams: CONCACAF Canada & Jamacia UEFA The Home Nations CAF Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana Asia/Ocieana Australia, New Zealand, Malyasia, Singapore
