[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's take a step back from the abyss.

First, Barca looked good through the ICC Futures and the PDA game was by far the best performance. Barca outplayed PDA in the first half.

Second, PDA is the best team in the country at U15. Give them credit for playing much better in the 2nd half. I would argue that they won the 2nd half although they did not convert any of the dozen opportunities they created. PDA played really good soccer but Barca played better soccer.

Third, Europe is not the birthplace of the best players in soccer. Argentina and Brazil are home to the best players. Neymar, Messi, Viniciuis, Di Maria, G. Jesus, Aguero, Dybala, Coutinho, etc., dominate European soccer. Barca, PSG, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Byren Munich, ManCity, etc. are all heavily influenced by players from Argentina and Brazil. The best clubs take players that have developed enough in their home countries to star in Europe. The European teams just put them in the system and let them go.

European soccer has dominated the World Cup the last decade on the men’s side. They are doing something right with the big picture. [/quote]

DP.  I don't disagree that there are countries beyond Europe that do things right, such as Brazil, the home of Futsal.  But when I mentioned Europe a couple of posts back, it was in the context of Spain being part of Europe.  I don't feel the need to list every single country that has a better soccer culture.  The list is too long.

However, where Europe overall stands out ahead of Latin America overall would be the steps they have taken in the women's game. [/quote]
