| JazzB1987 said: tbh why not? Football/Soccer is a joke anyways. If you are from e.g Munich and 60% of your team are foreigners how does that have anything to do with Munich? You cannot even be proud of your city because the people are not from your city. Its just "who has the most money and can buy the best international players" Its like having frenchmen and germans play for team ENGLAND. wth would be the point? |
Most players from South American teams are actually from its own country. In Brazil, for example, a lot of people are against investors buying their teams, because they feel that having to many foreigners make the team lose its identity (I'm included in that group by the way). It's bad because we can't keep the best players we have and many teams have lots of debts (not that European teams don't have, but they will never pay anyway), but it makes the national leagues a lot more competitive. The only bad thing is that the fans lose the passion for the National Team, because most of its players aren't here. The World Cup helped to recover a little of the feeling we had for the National Team before, but it is way different from 15 years ago, when most players were playing for Brazilian teams.
Also, I just like to watch UEFA Champions League from the quarters to the final, because, seriously, there are so many really bad teams against a few really good teams that it is not even funny to watch. Maybe a continental league could make me more interested in European football, but I think its unlikely to ever happen.
Libertadores also suffer a bit of that problem, since Brazilian and Argentinian team are way better than the others, but the difference is not that big like in Europe.
