| | Pues, asi pienso yo.(That's how I think.)Yo soy Mexican-American, de heiecnra Espanyola y Escocesa.(I am Mexican American, and of Scotts and Spanish heritage).Yo aprendi el soccer futbol jugando en los parques publicos y las playas de Mexico y Brasil no en academias. Y en los jardines de mis hogares familiares, y en equipos organizados, en la high school y college en Estados Unidos. Aprendi mas que nada de mis primos, y sus amigos jugando cascaritas en Chapultepec.(I learned soccer football playing in the public parks and beaches of Mexico and Brazil not in soccer academies. And in my family's home gardens, and in organized American HS, and college teams. I learned the most from hanging out with my cousins and their friends, playing pick up games in Chapultepec Park.)No seais tontos.(Don't be dummies.)El proximo Cladio Reyna, Tab Ramos, Preki, McBride, Cobi Jones, o Earnie Stewart se encuentra en muchos lugares, no solo en las canchas y los parques de los barrios pobres Latinos.The next will be found in a variety of places, not only in the fields and parks of the poor Latino neighborhoods.But you gotta go there. And it sure helps if you understand their culture, how they think, what they eat, and you speak their language. |

| | The street soeccr theory is both true and overly simplistic. The Dutch and the French are superb examples for the US. They are both countries that have very conscious, directed development programs to build players and have been very good at it (the Dutch are a very small country and until recently, football was maybe the 3rd most popular sport in France).Yes, playing soeccr in small, undirected games, is a great way to develop. Almost every country in the world has this (including: China). And they're not all world powers. For instance, one of the lessons from the Dutch is that our youth players probably play too many games (where in 60-90 minutes you get very few touches) vs. practice activities and small-sided games. |
