Soccer in South America is the most popular hobby and professional sport played by the inhabitants of the continent. Football was introduced to South America in the nineteenth century thanks to the diffusion of British culture around the world caused by the British diaspora and sports reception by the Anglophile elite in the region. Widely recognized as a symbol of modernity and good health, overtime football replaces older sports like Bochas became, in the mid-20th century, the main main sport in most continents.
The sporting organization is governed by a domestic federation (or association) and a continental confederation, all members of FIFA. Most South American federations are part of CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation), with the exception of the association of The Guianas, which is part of the CONCACAF (North American Football Confederation), and the Falklands Islands. Football development is also organized by these domestic and international federations along with government sports authorities. Every country in South America has a unique football development structure with mixed results, arguably some more successful than others.

Histori
The football held in South America dates from the nineteenth century. European sailors played the game in the port of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and gradually spread to the nearest urban areas. The European Community in Buenos Aires is about 1867 in large circles - many from Britain and employed by British railway companies, which expand the network on a large scale - and unofficial leagues are formed: the so-called "Great Britain League", which is divided into practice in English and the Scottish league. Two British immigrants, Thomas and James Hogg, convened a meeting in the Argentine capital on May 9, 1867; on this day the first football club was established in Latin America, Buenos Aires Football Club. The Buenos Aires Cricket Club football club gave permission to use its cricket ground at Parque Tres de Febrero. More than a month after his creation played Buenos Aires Football Club there - on 20 June - his first football match. It was played with sixteen players on either side of eight players with only British nationality.
It takes fewer players to participate than expected as some players want to see in advance how such contests will be added. The key soccer co-founders with six teammates won the game with four goals to zero.
The gradual deployment of football after 1867 was mainly due to the influence of school and sports related.
As taught in Paraguay, the Dutch physical education teacher, William Put, these students are playing games, but he is not the one who gave the sporting breakthrough in the country that the Paraguay people who had been in Buenos Aires witnessed one of the first league matches.
In 1891, the first official competition was established in Argentina and therefore existed before all the soccer leagues in both the American continent and La Liga Europe were played in 1891 between the five clubs that each opponents hit twice
The spread of football as it did in the port of Buenos Aires and then throughout Argentina, took place elsewhere in South America. In North America the same process occurs. The colonial Europeans, who had settled in the United States and Canada, took the second half of nineteenth-century football with them to their new home
Before the end of the nineteenth century was an informal soccer game between teams from different corners of the newly formed countries. eventually becoming the twentieth century Football described in the United States against American football. In the northern part of Latin America offers baseball and basketball the development of serious soccer competition. The soccer infrastructure that is formed in Central America compared to other parts of the Latin continent is therefore very slow. Costa Rica was the first country to register for the world football association, founded in 1904 FIFA. In 1929, two years later, followed by Mexico. Football was introduced by Europeans living in America, but young Latin Americans also withdrew to Europe. Capitalism was introduced to Central and South America; countries such as Costa Rica are the liaison in the global economy, with the result that European countries are not only impacting on political and economic issues, but also in the field of culture. The younger generation went to Western Europe, especially the UK, and came into contact with football in public facilities as a university field.
In the British colonies in the Caribbean won the cricket battle of the popularity of football in, among others. The sports of the city of Jamaica are very popular, but regionally broke out only in the late twentieth century the first match between two Caribbean countries took place in 1925 -. in a series of three meetings winning Jamaica three times Haiti. Four years before the first Nations Cup was played in mainland Central America. There is a tournament venue to celebrate the independence of the centenary colonial Spain

Integration into the community
After Argentina, Brazil is considered the second South American country where football makes its final appearance. After Argentina in 1867 made the first contact with the new sport, Briton Charles Miller who was born in Brazil brought Brazilian football in 1894. Miler was born in SÃÆ'Â £ Paulo; his mother was a Brazilian who belonged to the elite resident of SÃÆ' Â £ o Paulo.
Mi and his father are Scottish railroad workers. In 1884, he was ten years old whose parents were sent to Southampton, where he went to school. Like Costa Rica's circular migrants, Miller found here football, which he brought to surrender in 1894 to Brazil. Miller set up the first team in Brazil - which is part of the athletic club SÃÆ' Â £ o Paulo - and also the first soccer league, Campeonato Paulista.
Europeans living in Latin America dismantle the sport. Football is increasingly popular among railroad employees and demands in addition to more and more cicada of attention. In countries like Panama, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela introduced English football, but real integration into society followed later. Brazil and Argentina are the first soccer shoots in their culture. Sport is contagious, especially in less affluent environments. Children play since childhood on the streets, squares or plots and devise strategies and techniques. building football clubs and youth programs; in the thirties was the highest competition division in most countries in Latin America, either part of a professional football club. By that time football was definitively founded in culture and enjoyed great popularity almost everywhere. Previously it was primarily a sport for Europeans; The Brazilian CR Vasco da Gama was the first professional club also localized in 1923 - blacks -. Players are recruited and thus have formed an irreversible trend.
Extension of British influence
England brings Latin American football, but a successful and consistent integration policy they do not follow. Across the continent is the idea of ​​established football in a short time; there is no clear concept of the game and no generally accepted rules. In the early twentieth century it began with an English football tour to the American countries, where they learned of sports practitioners and made the English way of playing for new developments from Latin American football. Thanks to the tour the English clubs will be up until then (semi) amateur amateur game changes established in professional audiences sport. Southampton FC, even in 1885, moved in 1904 to Buenos Aires at the invitation of Sociedad HÃÆ'pica, a club for the wealthy who live in the Argentine capital. A large number of visitors indicated that a friendly match between local clubs and Southampton was not just a sporting event but also a social event (elitist). Accompanied by the Secretary of War and the military escort - when given a recent soccer introduction in the Argentine Army - also visited President Julio Roca in the clash. During his campaigns in Buenos Aires and Uruguay Montevideo Southampton was made with remarkable results with the locals, especially England. They are strong in their belief in sporting excellence.
In 1905 following Nottingham Forest FC. The players, who are to Montevideo, Rosario and Buenos Aires travel to work there for a total of seven games, keep themselves fit during the journey across the Atlantic by playing on the deck cricket results show the superiority of local football clubs: BritÃÆ'¡nicos and the Argentine League together. 13-1 and 9-1 record respectively; also the Argentine national team is easily ruled out by Nottingham Forest, with five goals against zero. Nottingham finally toured South America 52 goals and conceded just three goals. Because of the impressive supremacy on the Nottingham field ensured a continued sense of force majeure in English-loving football. The popularity of the English club led to CA Independiente, founded in 1904 - which emerged after a group of employees of a fancy department store in downtown Buenos Aires independently (in Spanish) independiente of their employers wanting to establish a football club - a color his uniform turns red from Nottingham Forest. The desire to make this change is reinforced by the symbolic relationship of color with the socialist movement in the country, supported by some of the founders of Independiente.
The turning point in Argentine football and Latin American football as a whole was followed in 1906, when a South African team came to play a series of matches in the South American continent. South Africa has a development in the field of known football that is quite similar to Latin America. Although the South African club is still playing below the English level, the game has been developed more than the matches played in countries such as Argentina and Uruguay. For example, Brazilian Paulista FC was a 6-0 record and the student team played superbly in a match that ended with a total of fourteen goals against. Founded in 1898, the Alumni Athletic Club is the only club to survive against the South African team. After a 1-0 win, spectators stormed the field, and it brought the players joy in hand; The President of the Republic is currently congratulating Alumni with Argentina's first victory against an overseas opponent. Presumably it was in Latin America the first victory on the opponent from the other side of the overseas club overseas visit signed an ever-increasing integration of football in society. strengthen its professionalism and encourage more populations. The English clubs discussed invitations to play the role of "football missionaries", which proved very important for the further development of Latin American football.
Creation of the first international confederation and competition
The number of clubs with paid contracts goes up accordingly and both the Board and the games are professionalized. In 1910 for the first time, although unofficially and by CONMEBOL not officially recognized, the state tournament was played with more than two national teams. The so-called Copa Centenario RevoluciÃÆ'³n de Mayo was played in May and June between hosts Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. This tournament, never played by Argentina as a winner after three matches, was also seen as the first Copa Amà © rica or a direct predecessor of the first official edition of the Copa Amà © rica, officially approved by Campeonato Sudamericano de Football at the time. by Argentina in 1916 to honor the centenary independence - obtained by the battle between 1810 and 1818 independence - organized War. The four countries taking part were: Brazil was also invited in addition to the previous participants. Uruguay won twice and played against Argentina, making it the first South American champion. The nineteen-year-old Isabelino GradÃÆ'n is the best player in the Uruguay national team - he also has three goalscorers in the tournament. The day after Uruguay's big victory in Chile, the Chilean Football Federation demanded a reversal of results, because under the Uruguayan there were two Africans. GradÃÆ'n - who has scored two goals in the match - will be one of them, because his great-grandfather is a slave from Lesotho. Uruguay win again.
The team was captured before the match against Brazil (4-0) win for the first ten editions six times; after losing the last two protests, Chile was finally rejected by the organization and Uruguay was named a legitimate winner. Campeonato Sudamericano is the first country in the world, even earlier than the European Football Championships, established almost half a century later. In 1916, Chile was also the only country that had a national team that contained several black players.
During the first Copa Amà © rica on July 9, the CONMEBOL continental football confederation was established. It lost Westerners, who have introduced the sport in Latin America permanently to their immense influence. Although this first tournament was run entirely free of incidents - found next to the Chilean protests during the last game of even riots, which included burned wooden benches - it became the basis for the tournament the first two years and every year thereafter, under the aegis of the oldest continental football.
CONCACAF was founded in 1961 for Central America and the Caribbean; before that there were two separate federations. Confederacion Centroamericana y del Caribe de FÃÆ'ºtbol (CCCF) is bound to most countries in Central America and the Caribbean and the North American Football Confederation (NAFC) was created for Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Together with its founding in 1938 and 1946, the first international football tournament was held in the northern part of Latin America. When the Costa Rica CCCF Tournament won seven out of ten editions; Mexico won three out of four North American football
Across Latin America, an international club tournament is followed later. Exceptions were the highest-placed clubs from Uruguay and Argentina, which had already started a small tournament in the early twentieth century. This tournament, which gets the Copa RÃÆ'o de la Plata, loves the club and its supporters; it was an indirect reason for the creation of the first continental club tournament in sports history, the South American Championship Champions (1948). This one-time tournament takes seven clubs from seven CONMEBOL countries along with CD Litoral (Bolivia) and CS Emelec (Ecuador) as the only club without experience due to lack of national competition alone. Campeonato Sudamericano also leads to the creation of the first international competition for clubs in Europe. Frenchman Jacques Ferran, a journalist for L'Equipe, reported in a South American tournament and was so excited that he told his boss about the concept. Gabriel Hanot then brought the idea to UEFA and indirectly led to the introduction of the European Cup in 1955. In the CONCACAF region established the Champions Cup in 1962, which served for a short time as a qualifying tournament for the Copa Libertadores of 1960 established by CONMEBOL on in 1960. Almost from the beginning, this tournament is dominated by Mexican clubs.
Uruguay Success in the first Game
The 1924 Summer Olympics was the first global event in which a Latin American soccer team participated. Atilio Narancio, a member of the board of the Uruguayan Football Association, expressed his ambition to join the national team at the tournament in Paris. His ideas led to misunderstandings in South America and even in their own countries; they find a plan that is incomprehensible and unwise. There will be little time to reinforce a team ready to travel to Europe and play like a tournament level. In addition, there is a financial shortage and the Uruguayan people fear it will be very embarrassing for the European players, regardless of the success in their own part of the world.
Most of the players have a steady job and can not from one day to leave their jobs. A typical example is the position of Uruguay's national team captain. Josà ©  © Nasazzi for a week was a marble cutter, and he was told during his work that the decision was taken to participate despite criticism of the Olympics. This decision may be taken only after the necessary lobbying in the Uruguayan parliament, which gives consent before it can be made in the final preparations. The cheapest boat they can find, the choice of Uruguay left for Europe as a destination of Spain. There will be a series of exhibition matches. This friendly confrontation is meant to pay for expensive travel across the Atlantic, as well as to stay in Paris during the tournament. The Uruguay team did not lose a friendly match in Spain, a country almost a century before that was still a colonizer from South America. Atletico Madrid, one of the biggest clubs at the time, saw the club after the club beat Uruguayans and decided there was no chance: to make quick talent from across the country to Madrid, the arbitration would take the necessary and profitable decision as an extra motivation for the Spaniards also king of twenty thousand spectators, Alfonso XIII. That does not help - even Madrid can not win. Although Uruguay satisfied themselves before maneuvering the tournament in an underdog position: the European participants were not impressed with the overseas opponents who were nothing more than Argentina, and fell into a state of overconfidence. Yugoslavia disgraced as the first opponent of Uruguay 7-0. The result was not the greatest in the first half, but it caused concern - the game was taken care of, the co-operation between the players smoothly, but who is still the unknown Uruguayan Yugoslavia, six years later the third in the first world, has completely been played on the field? Three days later South America was won by the United States; in the quarter-finals France was defeated smoothly. In the semifinals, Uruguay got some resistance when just nine minutes from time before a penalty penalty that settled the advantage against the Dutch team. On June 9, 1924, Uruguay won the eyes of the world general Olympic soccer tournament Summer, after beating Switzerland 3-0. The next game in Amsterdam was again Uruguay, but Argentina also succeeded: the Argentine team reached the final book with great wins, including an 11-2 victory over the United States. This is a global introduction to the successful concept of playing and playing Latin America.
First world championship
Uruguay gets headlines
Uruguay was appointed in May 1929 as the host for the first 1930 World Cup. As the winner of two previous Olympic football tournaments in the country is logically one of the candidates for the organization of the tournament; also some European countries put themselves forward, but pulled soon after each other again. By revoking the nominations of several countries trying to give Italy more likely bid. Organizational awards to Latin America Uruguay led to boycotts by Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Two months before the start of the world championship, there was still no European country to respond to his invitation. Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland also resigned for too long going to Uruguay.
The organization offered financial compensation for two weeks of transatlantic shipping, but that was not convincing. British countries are not eligible to participate because they are not yet FIFA members. The only European countries that eventually approved the trip to Uruguay were Belgium, France, Yugoslavia and Romania. Latin America, however, is well represented eight out of thirteen participants come from this part of the world, including Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico. Seventeen days are the three long stadiums in and around Montevideo where the next premier Olympic football tournament runs. Thirteen countries are divided into four groups, with places in the semi-finals for each group winning the construction of the first stadium capacity of over one hundred thousand spectators is a fact: Estadio Centenario, named after a hundred years independence, was completed just five days after the start of the championship. The delay was caused by heavy rains, causing some duel to be transferred to two other stadiums in the area, resulting in no further problems.
The favorites for the first world title are Uruguay whose advantage at the 1924 and 1928 Olympics has been profiled as a strong footballing country. The Uruguayan is expected to be much disciplined: two months of isolating the election is preparing himself as a rest in the tournament. An example is the story of goalkeeper AndrÃÆ' Ã… © s Mazali, who was present in both matches, but delayed the election without further ado when he did not follow the set by the president's curfew.
On July 13, 1930, the first game was played for the championship. France beat Mexico by a margin of three goals - as France's first goalscorer, France's Lucien Laurent. It was the only victory for France in the tournament and one in four (only) in all European countries. The controversial action of the Brazilian referee in the third match between favorites Argentina and France caused a commotion: six minutes before the end of regular time he finished the match, just after Monti Argentina's free-kick failed and French striker Langiller made a counterattack and made it almost the same. The arbitrator's action caused anger between France and the chaos on the pitch, until he decided the two teams again did on the pitch and played the rest of the time.
The Argentines play their second game against also from Latin America originating in Mexico. The degree difference between South and Central America is illustrated by the final -. Argentina won the second game 6-3. Manuel Ferreira chose not long before the confrontation because he had to take a university exam in his native land; his successor is Guillermo StÃÆ'¡bile, who in the end is the world's first footballer. Against the Mexicans he scored three goals, but the first hat trick record in Stabile's tournament history did not get his name.
The first world championship finale repeat of the Olympic final was in 1928. Argentina and Uruguay defeated their opponents in the semi-finals, respectively, United States and Yugoslavia, 6-1. Before this match there were several incidents. There was disagreement over the game ball: two finalists wanted to play soccer with homegrown, who forced FIFA to intervene. The conflict was settled by players until the first round with an Argentine football game and continued the second half with a Uruguayan ball. Thousands of Argentines with River Plate ferries around, the natural border between the two countries, to attend the game. Just three hours before the start of the match, the arbitration composition was announced, for fear of being harassed by supporters; the main referee, John Langenus of Belgium, demanded the preparation of a police escort and a boat that would take him immediately after landing him. Both finalists have proven their scoring ability during the tournament.
In the first half had scored three times. After twelve minutes, Dorado of Uruguay opened the scoring; the rest of the first game improves the game of the Argentine team. Eight minutes after the opening goal, and StÃÆ'¡bile made the equalizing goal put into the thirty-seventh minute Argentina with a controversial goal - Uruguay protested the referee for allegedly offside, but in vain - the lead. After the pause there was a different situation: instead Argentina had a force majeure on the pitch, but Uruguay. With a long-range shot and a header, the final final was scored twice as much and determined to win 4-2 over host Uruguay, confirming its status as the best footballing country. Twice in a row is a global football tournament that ends with a confrontation between two South American nations, and it confirms that no European country can overcome any of them. The same applies to other Latin American countries. If Mexico have three group games of thirteen goals against Peru and not much to outrank. Bolivia before the start of the championship clearly has little hope of its own success, as it shows every player wearing the starting line of one of the letters "VIVA URUGUAY" on his uniform. It had no effect on the Uruguayan referee in the match against Yugoslavia - on the contrary. At least four goals from Bolivia were wrongly denied.
Less success in Boxing
While most of the European countries lay beside it an invitation, the passion in going to the Second World has increased greatly for the first edition in 1930. The success of the first World Cup tournament is now the biggest global football event and wants more countries to win the World Cup. Thirty-two of the fifty members of FIFA then made their interest known; the large number of participants is the creation of the qualifying tournament requirements. Two countries from Latin America decided to participate, including surprisingly not defending the Uruguayan champions: do not forget the country was a massive rejection of calls by European countries in 1930 and therefore decided not to bother doing selection to send over the oceans. Brazil and Argentina represent the American continent with the United States at the assigned Benito Mussolini championship.
World Cup 1934 did not work. Argentina has sent selection to Italy with almost (half) amateurs, as local clubs refuse to let their players go. The board committee is worried if allowed, once in Italy, their players' irresistible offer will be made by European clubs. The Brazilian team played up to that point especially in the shadow of Uruguay and Argentina. The lack of preparation combined with a naïve attitude to international competition undermines the quality of individuals in elections.
In 1936, France was appointed by FIFA as the host of the Third World Cup. This caused a storm of criticism from Argentina and all of Latin America. The state assumed there would be interactions between the continents of South America and Europe for the allocation of tournaments; However, the unwritten rules are now broken by world football. FIFA will take into account the number of FIFA members by the continent in its decision - most of a total of 57 members come from Europe - and have difficulty in the first championship and some countries dare to travel to Uruguay but not forget. In addition, he wanted this way of expressing his loyalty to Jules Rimet, the originator of the first edition of 1930. Argentina decided after his nomination failed to boycott. Uruguay again decided not to participate. Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico and Suriname are withdrawing from qualifying, which Brazil and Cuba are confident of a place in major tournaments.
Cuba, a country that never mixed up several times in the world of football in 1938, was surprised by maintaining a strong Romanian side with a 3-3 tie. In the second match against Romania is not Europe, but the Caribbean players who have supremacy in the field. Victory over Romania is considered the biggest surprise of the tournament. Short preparation time for the quarterfinals, however, Cuba did not have a chance against a more suitable Sweden (8-0). The Brazilian team is reformed and consists of both black players and crossbreeders as if from a white player. His previously naïve attitude towards improvisation has been lost and has been replaced by a more structured football. The use of only two defenders has an impact on the final score: Brazil lost after Poland's 6-5 extension. Confrontation with Czechoslovakia in the remaining quarterfinals, regardless of his renewed personality, sees a ferocious and reckless Brazil game. The match (1-1) finished with sixteen of the twenty-two players on the pitch, the referee gave three red cards and had to watch three injured players being taken off the pitch, especially after the fight. The second game against Czechoslovakia became silent and won by Brazil by a goal difference. After a fierce battle in the quarter-finals, the coach decided to give some players a break in the semi-final against Italy, a tactical miscalculation revealed: there are losers to the world champions later. Third, however, give courage to the young Brazil squad for years to come.
Latin America dominates the world of football
In the field of international football put Latin America's growth, as the global supremacy of the three biggest football nations: Brazil - lost in the World Cup, Argentina - who missed only four times at major events - and Uruguay, who won the first championship after World War II. In 1962, Chile hosted the seventh edition. Brazil is expanding its world, which until now no country will succeed. Although Caribbean countries simply can not play an important role on the world stage, that some Central American countries do it. Mexico demands attention, culminating in 1970, when it became the first and only World Cup organizer in Central America. The Aztec Stadium is the place of one of the shortest finals. The Italian team were beaten 4-1 by Brazil's "dream team"; the national newspaper Il Messaggero wrote that Italy was defeated by "the best player in the world." Uruguay, who finished fourth after losing the semi-final against the next champion, was beaten by Brazil. Four years later, the stage is fully European; five Latin American countries are not memorable. In 1978 Argentina hosted and defeated him in the Netherlands End. In subsequent editions, ordering more countries in Central America and South America is a success in the World Cup.
In 1990, all Spanish-speaking countries reached the eighth finals, including Spain, which now performs equally well with Uruguay - a country in the 30s because of the commotion caused in Spain by its class solution of football there. Mexico knows to escape steadily since 1994 and reach the tournament since then every second round edition, where it is always off. The four championships in the twenty-first century tournament in Germany in 2006 were the least successful when no country in Latin America reached the semi-finals. The 2014 world in Brazil is a success story of Latin America, though the first and third places of Europe. Colombian and Chilean beards move with their strong game; Colombian James RodrÃÆ'guez finished as top scorer in the tournament, crowned as a tournament player and received the prize for scoring the best goal; Central America Costa Rica is shocked by the "group of death". to survive and reach the quarter-finals. Argentina earned a place in the final, where he lost 0-1 to Germany. Brazil host country is the exception to the semi-final success with 1-7 and at the end of consolation with the 2014 (final consolation) World Cup Brazil - Netherlands | 0 -3] to lose]].
At club level, Latin America has not developed as a technical game and is conscious of money and in Europe. The most talented players are fostered and bought by European clubs, which do not stimulate further development and raise the overall level of national competition. In 2000, FIFA launched the World Cup for the club, with Brazil as the first host country. The most successful clubs from all continents come to confrontations around the world at this tournament. Central American clubs, almost always from Mexico, played no significant role in the first ten editions. The Brazilian clubs, Corinthians, SÃÆ' Â £ o Paulo, and Internacional together won four titles; other tournaments won by Western European clubs. Independiente Argentina won the South American Copa Libertadores club tournament seven times. Also in second place is the club from Argentina.
The equivalent of this tournament for Central America and the Caribbean is the CONCACAF Champions League, which finishes up to 51 seasons played with three-time champions from Mexico.
The promising football players in their teenage sensation beards stick with their talent in Latin America, as described above, are less domestic and give up on the offer of clubs in Europe. Similarly Romà ¢ ¡rio in 1988, moved from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama to PSV Netherlands, where he made 98 goals in just five years; Another example is Daniel Passarella, who several years after winning the World Cup with Argentina, emigrated to Italy. Brazilian Ronaldo In 1994, also at PSV, his appearance in Europe and winning three years later, the first Latin America to the Ballon d'Or, the annual award for the best footballer in Europe. The world's best footballer of the twentieth century, Diego Maradona, was on the SSC Napoli 115 goals in seven years.
Play Style
Game Conception in the initial period
In the decades after the introduction of football in Latin America, his own football style - how to play - was developed. In the early days of almost all players of British descent; they use the original British play concept. With this play and sportsmanship style, justice is more important than the passion and combat power found. What is typical is the Argentine Alumni Athletics Club, which rejected the penalty awarded by the referee, as the players argued that it was wrongly attributed to them. It's especially interesting according to the rules of the game. In England and elsewhere, where at that time playing football they used a system with two defenders, three midfielders and five assailants (called 2-3-5 systems). This format has long been abandoned by any club in Latin America, because this is a global standard. Domination by the UK gradually declined in all lines in the culture of football, so influence the style of the game. take over power and discipline, perhaps by increasing the influence of Spanish and Italian immigrants, a place for agility. Where they play in England on the big pitch, men play football in Latin America in poor neighborhoods with small spaces, usually on unkempt ground. The game is tailored to this restriction; on the streets and small squares in urban environments such as Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Rio de Janeiro are newly developed ways of playing that satisfy poor living and playing conditions. Players want to precisely hold the ball to one side and lie on the learned to do it in all kinds of tricks. Disciplined teamwork disappears with teammates, that's just defeating the opponent - and thereby creating additional space for the player itself - to come. The first generation of footballers of this type called his style 'el toque', Spanish for "touch", as if the ball was being stroked.
This new game concept goes against old English standards. The previously mentioned appearance of Nottingham Forest FC in 1905 to Argentina and Uruguay Kokoshkin defended this collision. The English club, an example of how to play the original, caused mixed feelings between players and spectators in the match between Nottingham and the local representative team. While Argentina tried to win through skill and intelligence, England showed their physical game. Supporters of European descent are very enthusiastic about Nottingham's action and supremacy, while local residents feel aggrieved by the humiliation of the soccer skills of private players. The Englishman and the anglophile Buenos Aires Herald criticized the representative team who "dared to criticize the game Forest". The newspaper writes that the sport is meant to improve the resilience of practitioners and to test the fitness of young men, and it serves as a living room game. English Swindon Town FC, who seven years later toured South America, is one of several clubs open to new game concepts. The manager admits that he has never seen an amateur still play well and generally praises his opponent, although he is also concerned about "the use of any opportunity to show solo agility." Attitudes like that to the style of play also take part from Anglo-Argentine football players, among them Jorge Brown, who feels that football is now smoother and would be more artistic, but also saw that his enthusiasm thus seemed to disappear from the game.. Most of the critics have expressed concern about Match overload and tricks and a lack of shots on goal.
South American style successes to the first world tournament
Uruguay's football team in 1924 traveled to France to show off its game. Although the success in Spain was the visitors to the Olympics were not impressed with the style of play with only three thousand spectators attending the first match against the Yugoslavian beam. After the victory over Yugoslavia (7-0), however, the news spread about Latin American supremacy quickly through Paris. The 3-0 of United States winning matches in the second round has been attended by ten thousand supporters, who became intrigued by enthusiastic stories about the unknown things of the New World. On June 1, 1924, Uruguay faced the French team in the quarterfinals. The competition was attended by over forty thousand Frenchmen and was the first confrontation with the Western European team. The dominant French football players, such as England, provide long and high operands and are able to bridge long distances in a relatively short period of time. The Uruguayan players themselves contrasted quickly, quickly passing and able to get through at high speed (walking while keeping the ball in the leg). South America won Europe's physical agility: the hosts were easily defeated, and the next two opponents (again Europe).
In the next game the Olympic 1924 Games also held several music and art competitions; Some musicians and writers seek inspiration in the sporting performances delivered during the tournament. French essayist and novelist Henry de Montherlant responded in one of his works on the success of Uruguay. "A revelation! This is real football.In comparison, what we know so far, what we play besides the hobby of a schoolboy," he wrote. Even skeptics should recognize an unapproachable style of play. Then the former international and then French editor L'este quipe Gabriel Hanot draws a comparison between Uruguayan and English football "like comparing Arab descendants with hard-working".
Argentina and Uruguay met again in the first World Cup final in 1930 after the 1928 Olympic final. Argentina recorded 4-2. The media tried to identify differences between neighboring countries, and came to the conclusion that Uruguay's defense organization was more structured than the Argentine defense. Both countries play with their usual spontaneity and artistry, but Uruguay also holds a defense in the eye, while individualistic style of playing Argentina brings more confusion. Argentine defenders are no less capable than the Uruguayan, but they fail to discuss tactics to intercept the attackers on the other side. An Italian journalist says that although Argentina gracefully plays football, but it can not be played without a compensation tactic. Argentina dominates an indispensable part of the tactical equilibrium: therefore a balance between agility attacks and less than one-handed and structured speed, defense of thought on the other. Throughout Latin America, British influence is now almost eliminated; The European footballing style is no longer considered an obligation, but as a way of football to compete and win. Discipline and structure are present, especially in Uruguayan football, but to a lesser extent than in Western Europe. The so-called Rioplatense - football. above the crowd: fanaticism, uncertainty, sportsmanship and mass crowd speed flocked to the stadium and signed the difference with western football becoming increasingly clear.
Capture how to play Brazil
The original game concept did not bring success
As footballers across Latin America learn to move individuals in Brazil and combine intelligently with fellow players. The combined football was reinforced by the impact of being founded by Scottish immigrants in 1912 Scottish Wanderers. Pairing it with the tactics discussed for playing an opponent is remarkable in the so-called 'Brazil' system (called "British system"), in fact contrary to the way the British play Wanderers are nationally known for their striking games McLean and Hopkins played together on the left and there performed a series of fast and short passes, quickly named tabelinha ("small graphics") obtained.While the style of play Wanderers considered (too) innovative and perhaps even revolutionary, or after some time, local players - successfully - play.
In contrast to the rapid decline of British influence in Argentina and Uruguay including the British community in Brazil remains relatively long holding the most say in the culture of football. As Harry Welfare taught, who at Liverpool FC played before he went to Rio de Janeiro to start there as a teacher, Fluminense FC's engineering players to give depth or wide pass. The members of this club and other football clubs are European only; Welfare introduces the idea of ​​the game not explicitly with the locals. However, the Brazilian players saw the game: from the roof of the building they watched the practice for football. For them, football proved to be a difficult blessing - cricket played in a narrow space in a residential area, but football is a possibility. With a homemade ball, consisting mainly of a collection of fabrics, begins an informal football game party. The Scot McLean was unimpressed: he expressed his dissatisfaction over his lack of discipline and was convinced that "their antics in Scotland would never be accepted"
Although their "individual genius and spontaneity is" Brazilian soccer players with their games are not working abroad. Shocking the first fast removal of the world given the inexperience of inexperienced players not; four years later is the (lack of) experience there is no legitimate reason. In the squad there are some very talented players, including LeÃÆ''nidas - who will soon become one of the first black player members of CR Flamengo's elite - but the naive and inadequate preparations for Brazil's naïve national team. The 8-4 loss of a friendly against Yugoslavia, played after the failed 1934 World Cup, made it very clear that Brazil was not only in its Latin American opponents but also by its opponents who were at the tactical level of the Far-European East significantly. left behind. The biggest problem is the spaces between the lines: Yugoslavia, large pieces that are not used in the field to easily do their own tactics and are regularly traversed without much trouble midfield and defense of Brazil. The Brazilian soccer community realizes that it needs to change the style of play a bit.
Brazil sees its shortcomings
Already in the late 30s trying the previously unknown Brazilian Gentil Cardoso, who came with his work as a jack of all trades regularly in Europe and there was free time to watch football, to introduce a new tactical system. He has witnessed the emergence of a system called stopperspil with Arsenal England and sees this as a solution to a problem called Brazilian football. In this system, the attackers play in "W-formations" and midfielders and defenders of "M-formation" (3-2-2-3) - in a tactical setting for the final between Brazil and Uruguay in 1950 (see right) is seen. "Outsiders" or "backs" in the case of this arrangement Bigode Augusto, the winger of the opponent's catch; "inner defenses" or "half-backs", here Danilo and Bauer, face the backs of three defenders and ensure a collection of attackers trying to get through the middle of the field to break the defense; stopperspil, to whom the system was named, and in this setting Juvenal, stands between two outside defenders and is primarily meant to deal with the middle attacker or "mid (s) for" opponents. Cardoso managed to get a place as coach at a small club from Rio de Janeiro. He leads the system and trains it with the players, but sees that the game does not match the English variant he sees. An arrangement is to take over, but imitating the style of the English game is not only possible. Cardoso's attempt failed.
Brazil needs a European to come to a definite style change. In the form of Hungarian Izidor KÃÆ'¼rschner found. In 1937, the president of CR Flamengo approached him and KÃÆ'¼rschner accepted the offer, although he was aware of the difficulty of his position as coach by the conservative attitude that has now been developed by Brazil in the field of football after England. Cardoso attempted to introduce the British stopperspil system; KÃÆ'¼rschner, who spent most of his soccer career in Switzerland, did not share that ambition. The system is also called "WM", but in reality it's more like "WW", stopperspil is now played before the back defender.Hot-Hungarian is not his style, although he was well requested by the Brazilian Football Association for a trip to France with the national team in 1938 in advisory role.This system did not achieve success in subsequent years, with the 1950 FIFA World Cup as low as the Brazilian team defeated opponents who used a similar system but lost to a different tactical Uruguay.That is an unusual situation that the Uruguayan player with the same defensive intentions to play soccer as Brazil had done himself on winning the Copa Amà © rica in 1919. The failure of 1950 marked the end of the Brazilian stopperspil system For years it had prevailed in the fields, but in 1966, a second clubs disappear from national team tactics.
In the period between 1950 and 1966, Brazil was detached from vertwijfeldheid about its successful tactics: the two world championships were won in 1958 as it was in 1962. They have understood that Brazilian football will perform itself short when tactics are chosen over technique. The result is that coaches give players plenty of freedom and tactical arrangements that are made as flexible as possible. The world's best players are in the 60s and 70s often from Brazil. For player qualities like Garrincha and Valdir Pereira optimal use, it was decided to form a tactic that offers ample space for the usual creativity and artistry that has marked Latin American football. On the eve of the world championship final in 1970, Joao Saldanha, head coach during the qualifying process for this World Cup, asked why he felt that the best football football played in Brazil was the world. He suggested that this would be the result of four factors.
- The Allereerst Climate will play an important role because in Brazil, such a climate can be played throughout the year;
- Ten seconds he suggested that the poverty of Brazilian youth would be encouraged to achieve a competitive spirit;
- variations in ethnicity and in Brazilian society Saldanha says the third factor to success, because most of the ancestors of the population of African descent and thus the past in slavery and inherit here aggressive attitude will have;
- the tenth is "unlimited passion for 'futebol' is also very important in achieving success in the second half of the 20th century.
Brazil experienced a pivot stopper system after only one typical soccer system, called the 4-2-2 system, which is similar to the "W-W" system. With the mention of this tactic, however, it is impossible to sum up all of Brazil's tactical views. As it was played in 1994 with four defenders, four midfielders and two strikers and in 2014 with five midfielders and one striker, striker Fred. Currently, Brazil is not known for certain systems, but is a reckless and flexible player.
The origin of the first international confederation and competition
The number of clubs with paid contracts goes up accordingly and both the Board and the games are professionalized. In 1910 for the first time, albeit unofficially and not officially recognized by CONMEBOL, played -Nation with more than two national teams. The so-called Copa Centenario RevoluciÃÆ'³n de Mayo was played in May and June between hosts Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. This tournament, never played by Argentina as a winner after three matches, is also seen as the first Copa Amà © rica or its immediate predecessor.
Soccer Club
All Central American countries and most of South America use a league system with two separate sections, Apertura (Spanish for "opening") and Clausura (Spanish for "closing"). While in Europe the season runs continuously from autumn to spring (usually from August to May or June), in some Latin American countries playing in a calendar year in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, Paraguay and Peru from January or February until the end of this year playing the league. The rest of Latin America uses the European season calendar. Both the first and second half of this season give the champions. Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela play at the end of the second season winners duel each other to determine the champions last season. In addition to the general league form with two separate half-lives, some countries have little difference in terms of promotional and degradation rules or awarding championship titles. So play in the Mexican league at the start of each season two champions of the previous season against each other in a small joint competition, similar to the Super Cup in European competition. In Costa Rica - where there is no Apertura and Clausura, but Invierno ("winter") and Verano ("Summer") are pronounced - the best four teams from both sections of the season qualify for the second round, where the eventual champion will be determined.
Brazil is not played with a double league system. Competitions usually run from May to December, according to the American seasonal calendar, but also use the same rules as in Europe. Very old is the system, there is passed by the size of the country only in the 60s and 70s small local tournaments for the national competition. Campeonato Brasileiro is the biggest competition in Latin America: it contains the largest number of Copa Libertadores winners (clubs in the league won the tournament seventeen times); The three clubs from Campeonato won a total of four world championships for the club, world record; this is the most valuable competition of Latin America, worth almost one and a half billion dollars. Football clubs with the highest brand value are (in 2012), Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, with $ 77 million; the value of the whole world put the club in the twenty-fourth place, behind Everton FC.
International Competition
Latin America has several international club competitions, with the Copa Libertadores and the second CONCACAF Champions League main tournament. The Copa serves as a qualifying campaign for the club's world championships. In South America, Copa Sudamericana, equivalent to European UEFA Europa League, second tournament - winners will qualify for next season's Copa Libertadores. The Recopa Sudamericana is found in South America every year at the start of the new season and is one of the meetings between the Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores winners. The CONCACAF region does not have such a system. The three best clubs in the Caribbean tournament, the CFU Club Championship, will qualify for the Champions League main draw; all countries in mainland Central America to get the default number of places allocated for the group stage. In South America, Argentina Independiente and Boca Juniors are the most successful clubs, both with a total of eight wins; Cruz Azul of Mexico won six consecutive Champions League CONCACAFs; in the Caribbean, most winners come from Trinidad and Tobago. Although Mexican clubs in the South American club competition are accepted, there is now no overlap between the two parts of Latin America at club level. For this purpose, plans are the two former international club competitions will be replaced from 2002 by the Pan-American tournament. Six Brazilian clubs and two from Panama and Costa Rica have been registered as participants, but due to financial difficulties, football was forced to cancel the Copa Pan-Americana.
International Football
At club level, Central and South American soccer is separated, and in international football, the situation is no different. South American national team tournament without input from Central America (and the Caribbean) and vice versa. It has to do with two confederations of football, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL, respectively tournaments and - yet - no safety seen in an American-Nation pot (a trial in the 60s does not stand). CONMEBOL was held in 1916, the first Copa Amà © à © rica, later to be named "Campeonato Sudamericano de Football". CONCACAF Gold Cup in 1991, after 70 North America and Central America played a separate championship. In South America, Uruguay won the most edition, in Central America, Mexico. Both tournaments know, despite a clear separation between the two confederations, have a tradition of inviting countries outside the region. participated in the Gold Cup of four CONMEBOL member states and Copa Amà © à © rica as well as four CONCACAF countries in addition to these two championships, which are not inferior to European football championships in the UEFA region in related fields in terms of importance, qualifying is Central and South America for the world's largest tournament in the world. The relatively small number of countries in the CONMEBOL region without group games, while it is used like a system in Central America.
Rivalry
The biggest competition between the two countries at the international match level is found in Argentina and Brazil. This match, which lasted for over a hundred times, has not played more than Argentina vs Uruguay, but now the former race is the most populated duel of South America. This is less related to political conflicts in the past, but mainly because these countries are considered the largest soccer country in the Americas. Hostile feuds led to several conflicts in the twentieth century, culminating (or the previous low) the vechtpartij mass between players, supporters and police during the 1946 South American championship final. In 2011, it was first held Superclà ¢ sico de las Amà © à © ricas, a match the annual between the Argentina and Brazil national teams, compared to the non-competitive derby in addition to Argentina Uruguay are also considered rivals - the rivalry emerged especially after the 1950 World Cup final, when millions of Brazilian football fans have been traumatized by a 1-2 defeat. Furthermore, in South America, Peru and Chile are also considered rivals, with a confrontation between the so-called "ClÃÆ'¡sico del PacÃÆ'fico" ("Pacific derby"). The far reaching competitiveness goes back to the 1890s, when the Saltpeter War was championed.
In the CONCACAF area there are two historical clÃÆ'¡sicos (Spanish for classic) to be defined. First of all neighboring countries, the United States, outside the territory of Latin America and Mexico are traditional rivals. Mexico's traditional Mexican national team in Central America, but in the CONCACAF tournament matches are becoming increasingly competitive in neighboring North America. The sportsman's militancy will be strengthened on the Mexican side by the Battle of the Alamo and the Mexican-American War of the nineteenth century and the treatment of Mexicans living in the United States. Honduras and Costa Rica played since April 3, 1935 called clÃÆ'¡sico centro americano , or Central American classics. The countries, which played the game for the fiftieth time in January 2011, will be quite equal in number of victories - though Costa Rica is successful on the world stage rather than Honduras.
