good job man, i can understand everything now, but is there a list of all these teams and when matches are

[drabryant14]

@RABid07tc just go to any sports/soccer site like espn soccernet or goal.com and look up each league and you can see all the teams and standings etc. they have all of the matches listed as well but that doesn´t mean they will be available to watch outside of that country. try using an online site like Veetle to find matches that aren´t broadcast on tv. lates

@brendonpennington13 the coach of each national team selects his players from the citizens of that country to play each game. he selects from the best players from his country playing in any league all over the world, and especially from the players playing in the best leagues and for the best teams around the world. got it? lates homie!

@xspankyyyy Calciopoli was a ref bribery scandal that resultes in several Italian teams like Juventus, AC Milan, and others being relegated to the lower leagues and having championships stripped from them. Now that you know the name you should be able to find tons of info on it. peace brotha

@drabryant14 How are players selected to be on their country's National Team? For example, who decides who gets to play for the United States or Mexico's National Team?

It's like Clint Dempsey plays for the US national team because he is american but plays in the English Premier League for Fulham at club level or Luol Deng plays for the Great Britain national basketball team but plays for Chicago Bulls in the NBA...
