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?

It was a good experience to mix up players from different leagues, backgrounds, etc. to play one another in essentially an organized pick up tourney. It was wonderful to see the players playing hard but respectfully.

It was a bit disorganized at the gates; I wish there was a discount for a 3-day pass, as opposed to $25/day, but overall no major complaints...

Sarcasm right, surely you are not this stupid.

Do they all also have Spain passports?

Because many Spanish speaking people around the world have the wrong passport if that's the case

Brazilians are generally considered Latinos — especially in the U.S. context.

🔍 Why?
• “Latino” refers to people from Latin America, which includes:
• South America 🇧🇷🇦🇷🇨🇴🇨🇱 etc.
• Central America 🇬🇹🇭🇳🇵🇦 etc.
• The Caribbean 🇩🇴🇨🇺🇵🇷 etc.
• Regardless of language.

Brazil is in South America and is part of Latin America. Case closed.

Brazilians do not consider themselves Latinos nor do we consider them latinos. That’s it that’s the tweet.

So if Ethiopians or Egyptians don't consider themselves Africans, they're not?

When did ignorance and being uneducated become a badge of honor?

In my experience Moroccans consider themselves quite distinct from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Those who speak Spanish are Spanish.

Thanks that was helpful! But please don’t use flags, I doubt the sweet lady would recognize even one. Illustrative though!

PP, most Brazilians do not consider themselves Latinos. Some do. It would be expected that there would be confusion over this.

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!
