The forty-third edition of the Copa America is having some problems with the issue of invitations to two countries that are not part of CONMEBOL, Mexico and Japan, in particular. In 2009 the Mexican Football Federation announced its withdrawal from the competition after learning of the decision of the continental body in relation to South American Libertadores Cup that year. The resolution was to restrict the playoffs in the Mexican teams involved in a single game in the field of his rival, since most South American club refused to travel to Mexico then suffered the hardest times of pandemic Influenza A.
A few months after the FMF executives met with the CONMEBOL and reached an agreement to resolve the conflict once again put the selection box Azteca participants in America's Cup 2011. But then came a new obstacle: the Concacaf scheduled XI edition of the Gold Cup between 5 and 25 June this year, so that Mexico decided to send America's Cup Sub22 team (yes, no U21 and U23) which add five reinforcements no age limit.
The other guest is the selection combined Japanese. Some may be missed but, as you said Carlos Fernando Llanos sleeves on our letters section Football Answers , Japan is an important country for South America in the economic and political. But after a succession of tragedies, which are listed at the beginning of this post, today the participation of The Blue Samuriáis is in the air. Significantly, the Japan Football Association has not said its last word on it and, of course, have asked for some time to decide.
The despots always benefit from the misfortunes of others, Julio Grondona, president of the AFA, has used the circumstances to ingratiate himself with his friend Angel Maria Villar, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, in the typical cronyism among chiefs in the there's always one willing to make the ball the other. Despite that ten thousand miles distance, Angel Maria and Julio have much in common: their boundless megalomania, his addiction to power, the insatiable hunger of their pockets ... Since Villar presides RFEF Spain has had three presidents in government seven legislatures (and going way into the room) and eight coaches. Grondona, meanwhile, has been paraded to thirteen heads of government, military and civilian, and has had eight TD's. Anyone who has watched a documentary on cockroaches will understand what I'm getting.
Leaving aside the undeniable fact that the intention to invite Spain to the Copa America was born of political and economic interests of a few characters, the hypothetical participation of the Spanish team in football's showpiece deserves greater analysis . Let us begin discussing the specific circumstances.
It seems very difficult that the 2011 America's Cup to become the issue in the current world champion is released as the guest of his brothers Hispanic. The Spanish comes from having three summers without truce: Euro 2008, Confederations Cup 2009 and 2010 World Cup. The of 2011 was the only period of rest summer they would have selected future, then it will link three summers without a break: Euro 2012 2013 Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup.
Spanish clubs and even the coaching staff headed by Vicente Del Bosque would press all that was required for waiver Villar their dark intentions. The option to send the U21 is ruled out because of the Rojita play between 11 and 25 June's Euro categoíto Denmark (and not think of a U23, for the present generation is made up of many under-21 boys aged 22 to meet this year's 23).
In short, it appears that if someday Spain decides to accept an invitation hypothetical Conmebol to be part of a Copa America 2011 is the year indicated. Now, leaving aside the specific impediments in relation to this year, in the next post will bring the case to a more abstract level.
