Mexico's gold medal in Pan American Games

Hi people! The last weeks the Pan American Games didn’t go unnoticed. Mexico got an historic participation earning 19 more medals than its last best participation. Of course Mexico had the responsibility of winning the gold medal in soccer. But, was it deserved?

We need to remember that Mexico just did an historic in both U-17 and U-20 World Cups, although Mexico lost in the American Cup. However Mexico has been doing a great work in soccer, especially in the lower categories. So, the fact that the U-22’s team played the Pan American Games meant a great responsibility and a great illusion particularly because the Games were here in Mexico.

The truth is that Mexico’s soccer team prepared for playing. The players did a great job; they played every game at their maximum potential. The game play is the one that has been seen in recent seasons demonstrating a growth at the level Mexican soccer is taking. In all the matches the national team showed superiority, except perhaps against Trinidad y Tobago because the match ended tied.

However, I do believe that Mexico deserved to win the gold medal. The players showed unity playing as a real team. Also each player gave his hundred percent, their ambition for bringing victory to a country that deserves it was the key. Well, it was all. I hope that you enjoyed it.

Youth Academy in Fifa 12

Hey people that reads my blog! I am finally going to talk about the Youth Academy. Remember, this is a feature of the career mode of Fifa 12. Since I knew about this feature, I didnt stop investigating about it, and know that I got Fifa 12 I can’t stop playing the career mode.

First, if you didn’t know, Fifa 12 has a career mode that simulates the job of a trainer or a player in the real life. It’s a mode were you play the matches of the team you chose, you can buy soccer players for the team, you can manage your team, and finally you can manage an academy where you train young promises. How does this function? You may hire a scout first, and them give him work scouting in a country. While you do a normal career mode, your scout will give you monthly reports. These reports have the names of young players with the estimation of his stats and the estimation of his potential. Then you can decide either to hire players or to continue scouting.

After you hire young promises, at the age of 16 you can give them a place in the first team, unless you think they aren’t prepared, you leave them in the Academy any longer. So, why do I like this feature the most? Well, I love to manage anything, and the idea of managing the development of a young promise makes me feel important. I mean, everything that happens with the development of that kid will be my responsibility. So, I can decide to give them minutes of play, or to wait a little longer, I can do anything I decide is the best for that kid.

Well, may be a little weird but is one of the things I like the most. Keep reading the blog, there will be new themes.
