A New Opening In Argentina, the last perhaps?


Copa America is over. Argentina had a disappointing role, and this has more to do with the illusion that each face Argentine soccer competition than with real posibilides this team had.

Yes, Argentina is very talented, especially in the lead. But something Uruguay finished fourth in the World Cup in South Africa and Brazil is always Brazil. Not always an idea behind things will be more difficult. Technical change. Batista will no longer be and will be time to Sabella. And as icing on the cake, River declined.

When you start to watch the opening fixture of 2011, it is impossible to forget this fact. River will not play at first for the first time in its history. In this context, the AFA announced plans to merge the first tournament with the national B, at the end of the championship is about to begin. Popular reaction was so negative, they are now backtracking. What is sought? Doubling state spending on advertising while making it reaches the public increasingly interested in the championship. The state in which the project has fallen "Football for All" is really dire. I remember the conference president, said that football was a highly profitable business to be subsidized, and the idea that the Argentine government were to put money in football was a lie most of the media. Well, here we are with the state subsidizing 600 million a year of football and wanting to double that number. Hopefully prime reason and the clamor of the people moving in the right direction and be heard.

Meanwhile, although nobody seems to care ... started the Copa Argentina. How? Does the Copa Argentina? Yes, indeed.

This competition, in my opinion, a great idea.

With its appearance, the Argentine soccer will have a schedule more like that of European countries.

In Spain, while playing "La Liga" (I put in quotes because it is called), is played between weeks the Copa del Rey.

In Italy, interspersed with Serie A Italian Cup, and England, while racing in the Premier League, Carling Cup takes place in actual fact, Inglaterra.también is played in the FA Cup or FA Cup.

But in short, the premium is the concept that there is a league competition in which everyone plays against everyone, and there are divisions for quality equipment, and such other national competition in which teams are not divided by categories.

Argentina started the Cup playoff stage, in which local teams of various parts of the country, settles the entrance to the box "principal". Where the concept of "principal" is really ambiguous because the new higher divisions are integrated into later stages.

I am aware that this competition Don Julio and the AFA will have the opportunity to negotiate with the government's independent TV rights, since the settlement of the Football for All does not include any reference to the Copa Argentina.
