zulu_nation8 China26351 Posts September 04 2009 18:24 GMT #262 why dont they just make some regulations like in brazil, players under 18 can not leave their country or something

white_box921 United Kingdom967 Posts September 04 2009 18:47 GMT #263 EU freedom law or some shit, the same reason why salary cap and other ideas cannot be brought into europe. Individual country can implement, but it will probably later handicap the country in some way. Also, there are ways to get around youth system. One thing thats has been going on for a long time for clubs in london. Because so many clubs are within such a small area, and the way FA works (grassroot system and shit), each club cannot go over a fix distance. London clubs really do struggle with young talent, because the best U11 player may not be in your designated area. If the only club in the area is playing in conference, then your development is kind of hindered by this. So, one thing the clubs can do is ask the parent of the kid to move into their area. Obviously, this has to be a voluntary thing and you cannot pay the parent. But if Arsenal ask your mum about moving so you can join their academy, there is a good chance it can happen. Second thing they can do is a link with schools, so Watford for example, has their youth academy linked with a boarding school. So you can send your kid to the school over there, with scholarship of course, and you are basically a member of the Watford youth team. You still go to lesson, and take GCSE like English and Maths, but training will be like 4-5 times a week and 3-4 hours a day as per every other academy. The only difference is that you are actually going to a proper boarding school, where 95% of all other student are just the regular teenager, and it doesn't look as dubious.

karelen Sweden2407 Posts September 05 2009 22:06 GMT #266 yeah that was great brazil-argentina in a little over an hour, going to be epic. also if people are looking for a good stream I can recomend opening an account at bet365 (you dont have to deposit money or anything, I personally just use it to watch football) and you can watch it for free there.

Garnet Vietnam9056 Posts September 10 2009 01:32 GMT #278 lol Serbia to World Cup!

white_box921 United Kingdom967 Posts September 10 2009 07:32 GMT #279 Amazing match. But I start to wonder why all these foreign coach do so well but english coach suck so badly. I can't even remember if I have ever seen an english coach went abroad and achieve something. It is not like Capello had more good young players to pick from, his result just somehow comes along nevertheless.
