What’s wrong with this picture?
August 9, 2007
It’s where football is the most unpopular. Two of the most populated countries in the world China and the US as far as all players according to Fifa’s Big Count have the most participation in the sport. So, why are the countries not better represented on the global stage?
You think it might have anything to do with the bureaucracy of the countries governing bodies? Kinda sucks being last and hope the US can get its act together this century. Look, I love this game and want to do all I can to help it grow and at the same time help people just as passionate as we are to Get Stuck In!
So, if you have the desire and passion to contribute your thoughts and knowledge on how we can change this, come join us at www.zigazoga.com. If you are a member already then get your friends on. If you are just reading this - you know what you can do too!
Let’s all Get Stuck In! together.

Got something to say?
I think that each country’s time will come. When the Chinese machine throws itself behind a sport they get pretty serious about it. Wait until the most promising youths are stolen away under the cover of darkness and sent to soccer academies rather than diving academies.
The U.S. is just as much of a given in my opinion with their state-of-the-art sports fitness and large population pool. It’s just a matter of exposing the population at large to thrill of the game. If we could just fly Americans, in groups of 200, to watch some derbies live in Europe or Argentina I do believe that there would be no problem.
