Even B...Plain ignorance on that network's part. Even Brazil, a country that is arguably in the top tier when it comes to grassroots development, call their foreign-based players back to their national squad in big competitions.<br /><br />This thing is a non-issue. Countries get the best players as representatives; it doesn't matter where those players are currently based or where they learnt their trade from. Best is best, plain and simple.<br /><br />Do we really want to develop local talent especially in the football capitals: Barotac Nuevo and Bacolod? OF COURSE!<br /><br />But what many, like... well... "them", don't see is that if this grassroots development were to succeed, enough for us to form an internationally competitive national team composed of fully locally-trained youngsters; it is inevitable that these players will be exported to clubs in countries that can offer them bigger compensation.<br /><br />Then, we're back to square one: with a national team recalling foreign-based players during international competition.arielle-cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069409509264649382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12569043.post-48985771100068916932012-03-21T12:42:18.748+08:002012-03-21T12:42:18.748+08:00keep it coming Mike.
