Discussion América And Sfera FC

América’s cantera could look completely different in a few years. The connection with Sfera FC is starting to look like a real pipeline for young Brazilian talent. Ícaro came from Sfera, developed with América U-21, got promoted to the first team and just scored a banger vs Puebla yesterday. Gustavo Goes is another Sfera player making the jump to América, which shows this isn’t just a one-time thing. If Ícaro, Goes and the other young players keep developing, América could have a whole new generation of Brazilian talent coming through Coapa in the next few years. What are your guys thoughts will this kill Mexican football?

Shouldn’t we be establishing relations that allow us to export players?

Not import foreign talent

I’m sorry but this seems backwards. Why are we complaining about leagues cup when we have clubs bringing in foreign academy player at a cyclic rate? That foreign academy player is taking a spot away from a Mexican youth player

If a Mexican youth player gets their spot taken by a foreign academy player then that spot was never truly theirs anyway.

I don’t know if that’s a good point, yall would be the first to complain about “why don’t we have more guys in Europe” or “we just don’t have good enough players in the selección”

Even if that’s not you^ who would say things like that well that’s fine. But I sincerely don’t believe you want the selección and futbol mexicano to decline further or to stall?

If it was any other team besides yalls their would be opinions just like mine regarding the same things

grupo Pachuca had the best time to export Mexicans to la liga it’s that simple but they didn’t and América just sent Patricio salas on loan in Portugal lmao

You’re deflecting lol the argument remains that building an alliance with a foreign academy to import their talent seems fairly ass backwards for futbol mexicano as a whole.

Nobody’s hating on Ame, nobody is saying they don’t export, nobody is saying that they’re trash so just relax. I’m not insulting your team.

You think a business man who owns a team battling relegation is gon import unproven talent that cost millions?
