What are the selection criteria and who is on committee? Without the info, it's comes down to who knows who.

Plus Jogo Bonito, has to do with the style of play most of us Latinos love to play fútbol. That is the Jinga style which is part of our Brazilian Latinos. Gotcha x2?

I started this whole debate because

Using a Brazilian name for your team and then bragging about representing Hispanic pride just made the whole thing ridiculous. I just could not let it slide plus I felt the person posting and others actually had no idea that Brazilians are not Hispanics and based on the responses I was proven correct 😂

Also it’s spelled ginga bro

Great now you now what “ginga” means sweet lady. Glad I made you get out of your limited understanding. Just like thaaaaaaaat! 😉.

Also, you are confused and trying to confuse others. Brazilians are Latinos, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it in the Latino and Hispanic community. I am glad to keep lecturing you, and happy to answer any other question you might have. I hope you don’t say now that Spain are not Europeans because they don’t speak English. 😂. Go read a bit more sweet lady!

I’m about to upset you and I’m sorry

My Brazilian wife is a Latina based on the geographical location of where she was born. That’s it. They know they are put into that box and they don’t like it. She and other Brazilians don’t care about Hispanics and they don’t like it when they are lumped into the Hispanic umbrella. As a matter of fact most don’t even associate with the Hispanic community. They have more in common with Italian and Portuguese people. That is there vibe. Now stop jumping on the Brazilian bandwagon.

Sweet lady! Nothing to be sorry about. You proved my point!

Of course, outside of the US we don’t say we are Latinos, but we refer to each of our nationalities. Argentinos, Brasileros, Colombianos, Chilenos, Bolivianos, Uruguayos, etc .

Have a great day!

You just proved my point. That’s why when they come to the USA they don’t want to be lumped into the Latino category with Spanish speaking people especially when they know it entails certain countries from which they feel they are superior than. (They ok with Argentina and Uruguay)

It’s funny you think you know more because you have token Brazilians friends versus someone who actually has a Brazilian family.

Sweet lady! Is not a matter of your “imaginary” wife. The fact is that Brazilians are South Americans, very simple. And they have no problem being included on that. Sorry your imaginary does not have a grasp of reality. Again, expand your horizons. Last time I checked Geography was not that hard! 😉

Most likely coach recommendations.

Standard tournament selection protocol:
1st place=4 spots
2nd place=3 spots
3rd place= 2 spots
4th et al= 1 spot & 1 spot

They should have divisions/brackets, especially for 2010 where there were so many teams and a wide range of skill levels. No point have a lower level team go against academy level team w/double digit goal differential. No one is learning or developing anything.

An academy entered this tournament?

Isn't it all about winning?

My boy competed in the 2010s. For the most part the matches were competitive from what I saw. Most of the kids are in the MLSN and Ecnl environment, and likelihood that If a coach recruit them is becuase they were ballers. Great tournament , and agree about entrance fees. A multi day one would make more sense .

No one is saying Brazilians are not South Americans. Put down the drink.

Sweet lady, YOU were saying exactly that. Good, you got it now! And I don't drink. I'm happy to keep the new info/data flowing your way.

But your kid was seen by more colleges and pro teams than ever before

What age group do those scouts typically focus on? U10 and above? U12 and above?

Mainly U8 and occasionally U9. They like to identify talent early and bring them into their professional academies before bad habits are built. By U10 its too late and habits are ingrained.

Crazy how so many people don't know this. If the Youth National Director of early stage development and comprehensive evaluation hasn't contacted you yet it's game over. Time to focus on a trade.

A lot of wisdom in this post. But a bit of oversimplification. YNDs have regional scouts and networks that promote those kids and put them on radars too. So it doesn’t have to be the YND directly.

We don't speak of the network aloud. I heard it gets you disappeared 👀
