The problem is not Barcelona, \u200b\u200band Sevilla, or the Mexican Football Federation, even FIFA. This last week I've been reading about the inadequacy of Mexico - Spain to commemorate Mexico's independence, his hands tied to the RFEF had to take the World Cup, etc. The reality is that this problem could have been solved since last year without any problems, but the RFEF did nothing to fix, rooted in a reluctance that is not new.
FIFA (the great threat to football clubs), organize your calendar to a year ahead, ie that the date of August 11 was booked a year in advance. Obviously, everyone knew that this year is celebrating the World Cup, so there was scope to make calculations.
What no one expected the English national team won in Johannesburg? It is a logical argument. But he won on 11 July, a month before the next FIFA date. The problem comes with the holidays for the players. Many clubs have opted to give them three to four weeks. The biggest loser here is Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith eight international in their ranks, but acepatable collateral damage when they won the World Cup.
The laugh comes when the two championship teams league and Copa del Rey, Barcelona and Seville, respectively, offer a new and "revolutionary" alternative to the RFEF: Super play Spain in a single match. This logic becomes even greater when one sees the close of last Wednesday's match in Aztec lands. With jet-lag and few workouts, international Barcelona and Seville are the way to a title without eating or drinking. The RFEF turned a deaf ear to the proposal (TV rights, ticket sales ... big gentleman is Don Money). Barca and Sevilla are in their own right, two of the most influential teams in the country, so their voice should be highly considered, possibly more than all amañadísima teams and untouchable Second Division.
Is it so rare they ask these two teams? The rest of Super single match are played in major European countries. Moreover, they do in the country's flagship stadium (Stade de France, Wembley ... How will the comb it? Use the Seville Olympic?). Furthermore, in the case of a tie, no extension, as in Spain, but quickly resolved in a penalty shoot-outs. The Italians have to feed them separately, Super organized in the U.S., Libya or China, so the merchandising and more money yet, but sport is not the best solution.
So, tonight we will have the that could have been a spectacular match between two great teams in a duel of life and death. Ninety minutes to fight for first crown of the year, but instead, the Federation has chosen to prepare a crude cocktail in which a computer will be alternates, and the other will be greatly altered their preparation for the Champions League qualifiers. It will be a Sevilla - Barça, there passion, goals and good football, but with the comfort of knowing that within a week will have to play another, which can lead to a damaging goalless draw for the audience, especially. Start the game "real" in Spain.
