Since today is the day that I was introduced to the world, I figure that today is just a good a day as any to give my 1st annual "STATE OF WORLD FOOTY" Address. I will do this by region.
England: Once again, the FA have proved to be morons. Steve McClaren has proved that he isn't worthy of being England manager. Maybe he will be fired soon, or maybe he will prove me wrong, but I strongly doubt it.
All is strong on the Premiership front however, as this will go down as one of the most memorable seasons in its illustrious history. We could see a treble from United, or maybe a quadruple for Chelski (I shutter to think). By far, the best league in the world. Overall Grade: B
UEFA (minus England): In shambles. Michel Platini, the new President of UEFA, is trying to change the Champions League format to include more crappy teams and take away better teams. His main problem is with 4 English teams getting in, but... 3 OF THE LAST 4 IN THIS YEAR'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ARE ENGLISH!!!!! I think that proves my point right there. Italy is just recovering from the match fixing scandal, and the Spanish League is on the up. Overall UEFA Grade: C+
CONCACAF: Footy in this part of the world has never had more potential to break out. The MLS is on the rise, and when Beckham comes over, things can only get better. As for the US MNT, only time will tell. Bob Bradley has the team going in the right direction, so now let's see how far he can take us in the Gold Cup and the Copa America. Looking away from the US, can any other team besides Mexico win anything in this region? Until the answer to that question is yes, then this league will still be crap. Overall Grade: B-
CONMEBOL: The South American International teams are doing great, Brazil and Argentina that is. I have no idea if the other teams are going to be good or bad. Ecuador is always either Great or Terrible, same with the other teams. Don't even get me started on the leagues. So , overall grade: C-
Africa: This is by far the most potentially great conference. They have the most talent ridden pool of players in the world. The African teams caused the biggest splash in this past year's world cup. If they can stay un-corrupted, these teams have great potential. On the club side, I have no idea if they even have clubs. So, overall grade: B+
Asia: Don't know and don't care. South Korea... yada yada yada, Japan... yada yada yada... However, Australia just joined this group, so they should be the new dominant team. Overall grade: Who gives a %#$@
So, in conclusion, the prospectus of Footy in this world we live in is great in some spots, and not so great in others. One of the big problems is the corrupt and greedy officials that run football, mainly Sepp Blatter. Until he either dies or something, football will always be in trouble. It's time for a revolution, Che Guevara style.
