It just doesnt matter! In USA , the professional institutions dont take part in the development of their young players, so the Universities decided to do that job. In this system, The study and sport become unified, they are altogether in the same enviroment. Afterwords it became immensely lucrative and corrupt, but that is a whole other discussion... In Europe, SA and Asia; the professional sport institution that provides the development of young players. They usually live in their facilities, have to maintain good grades (sometimes have to go to specific schools that are partners with the clubs), have to visit their families regularly, etc. The two systems exist because of ONE huge difference. In American Sports, the players can not choose the teams they go. That is why there are drafts, the teams choose the players and they simply accept it (of course there are rules and exceptions). They dont have fees, their trade and signing rules are more restrict (one of the main reasons they dont have gigantic debts) and the players dont have much option, although the players that are chosen first have guaranteed the highest wages. In the Rest of the World, the players are like material/possession of the clubs, they have to buy it from one another. This makes it impossible to have drafts for a 20-23 year old player (imagine Chelsea, ManCity and RM battling for Luck or RG3). It wouldnt work, so instead to let Universities take the risk to accept possible future stars, the clubs do it. It makes the fight for players less intense, since they are gambling with youngsters. With that scenario in mind, it makes sense why European Clubs have youth teams and USA Franchises draft from Universities. At a very, very superficial look, makes no difference, players in both systems are well involved with sports, socail and academic responsabilities.

VERY VERY SAD! RIP

Rooney and RVP will play together, will Torres and Falcao play together? Manutd did not buy a sub, Buying Falcao would mean one wont play...not the same scenario.

Actually 5pm here, but great night mate!

Who are Spain playing?

Finished. Brazil 1 - 0 SA. Horrible game, not worth watching. Chelsea news: 1 - Luiz played badly, I`m worried.... 2 - Ramires played in midfield, did great, as well as Oscar. Not many chances for both of them though.

HE DID Yes, 5 coming through will be something pretty special, would be the best english club using young home grown talent.

Add McEachran. You are not beeing pssimist, its just how it is. Only a small percentage of youth players end up becoming good to great players....

HUUUUUULLK!!! Incredibly strong shot (as usual). Entered on 2nd half and is by far the best player on pitch. EDIT: Brazil 1-0 SA, 74th minute.

REALLY hope Lukaku has a super season!

MAAAN, David Luiz is impressive out of form. Hasnt recoverd from Super Cup

Brazil playing 4-3-2-1/4-3-3: Oscar-Romulo-Ramires in midfield (RDM should be seeing it). Neymar is worst than a standing cone (absolute shit today). 0-0.

Why? Is it his last game?

England 3-0. Game could end already...

The game is about to begin... BRAZIL: Diego Alves; Daniel Alves, Dedé, David Luiz (captain), Marcelo; Romulo, Ramires, Oscar, Lucas; Leandro Damião, Neymar. BAFANA BAFANA: Khune, Gaxa, Sangweni, Khumalo, Masenamela; Dikgacoi, Furman, Tshabalala, Serero; Ndlovu, Chabangu.

You think England is the only one? Brazil plays SA, China, Argentina (but only with players from Argentina League) and Japan. With all respect...

Football needs more personalities like Del Piero

Congrats mate!

Brazi vs SA Line up: Diego alves Dani Alves - Dede - T Silva - Marcelo Ramires - Romulo Oscar Lucas - Damiao - Neymar

Oooooh....Dangerous statement mate!

I WANT TO PUT THIS GAME BEHIND AND PEOPLE KEEP CREATING TOPICS TO REMIND ME OF IT

Henrique, you are the worst Palmeirense on Earth!!!

If you can imagine Ronaldo playing the Barca style, you can imagine Neymar, otherwise... They are very similar players, Ronaldo is much stronger though. Btw, he will only leave in 2014. Chelsea, RM or Barca.

Can you discuss it with me? I have watched almost all of their games (I dont even root for them) and Chelsea is clearly better. Chelsea at its worst > Corinthians at its worst. Chelsea at its best > Corinthians at its best. You cant compare a bad performance to a top class one, off course it wont be matched (even for a SA club). I want so badly to travel to Tokyo, money will be a huge issue... CHELSEA WORLD CAMPIONS!

He made a bad move, everytime he makes a mistake IBRA will yell and fuck him when at locker room
