I read on another island's forum aquestion pertaing to football culture. To question the legitamacy of our football culture is a bit erroneous. In deed we do have a footballculture as Brazil has one and England has one. Does it look the same ? That is the question.
If you were to examine the residual remnants of our colonial past, it would suffice to say that a culture of football is endimic to us as cricket.
To say we have an approach to it that is different from the U.S.A. would be more appropoe.
As West Indians, we do have a proclivity and perchant for approaching certain activities in particular ways. Sometimes we are successful and sometimes we are not. It is the same with the U.S. They do not always dominate on the world athletic scene.
Approaches to training , facilities and economics are just some factors. Motivation, talent, abilities and a range of variables also influence outcomes.
I do beleiev that if we can field a regional Cricket team to compete internationally, why do we not consider a regional football team? and Olympic Athletic team?
