Introduction To Argentine Football
Ok, you know all about the passion for soccer in Brazil from ads promoting Ronaldinho, but what about Argentina soccer? Why is that a country that suffers and lives for football like the Brazilians do not receive their fair share of spotlight time?
However, one of the reasons is that a smaller trophy room in comparison with Brazil (2 leaves four finals in Argentina, 5 leaves of seven finals in Brazil), but still ... In order to do justice, I decided to get used to football in Argentina.
Argentina football was organized amateur or semi-professional local championships at dawn 20 century, and despite the fact that the Argentine national football team played its first game in 1901, I do not think it was the same type of team that would today. Most of the players spotted a semi-professional leagues formed the team to World Cup finalist 1930, after which most of them returned to mediocrity.
In 1931, the first professional in the country established the championship, but not all teams were affiliated with the national association. For example, only teams from Buenos Aires, Avellaneda and La Plata formed the league structure in the early years, with teams from Santa Fe or Rosario later joined early championship called the Metropolitano on.This not allow other provincial teams together and because of growing demand, the Argentina Football Association has finally created a national arm's-length in 1967, called several years Nacional.For Metropolitan National Championships have been conducted separately. The National Championship was a group, including the six best teams would be eligible to participate in the Metropolitan next year. It would be until 1985 that Major League Soccer this structure, after the National became the main championship.
In Argentina, football two "seasons" of 1991, named the Clausura and Apertura (opening or closing), and played like two different championship single round. Each year, relegation is calculated based on an average of three years and two teams with the lowest places of banishment on average, with two teams with the highest three-year average of the lower division is Promoted . I must admit this system they adopted for football in Argentina was a bit strange at first and needed some getting used to. But I can also see the benefits of such a system.
There are five teams that have dominated Argentina soccer since the Metropolitano championship was created: River Plate, Independiente, Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo and Racing Club are fighting for the title of Champions each year for 50 years.
Unfortunately, this is a case of "rich get richer" and smaller teams have less and less of a chance to be crowned as Argentina soccer champions, with five (especially the first 3) dominates and monopolizing the competitions. It the 's 5 clubs that launched many of the greatest footballers in Argentina in the international arena, although most of them transferred to powerful European clubs after only a few years in their clubs origin. Some noteworthy examples include Alfredo Di Stefano (River Plate), Diego Maradona (Boca Juniors), Juan Roman Riquelme (Boca Juniors), Daniel Passarella (River Plate), Esteban Cambiasso (Independiente) and Guillermo Franco (San Lorenzo).
