Americans why don't you join conmebol?. conmebol = south american's football association.?

I think you have a great team, however your team will not progress significantly if you continue in concacaf, concacaf is the weakest confederation in the world... So, why don't you join CONMEBOL? look, Australia doesn't play anymore in Oceania, they now play in Asia's football confederation.. Probably if you joined the CONMEBOL you wouldn't qualify to several world cups, however, your football level would progress significantly, conmebol is a very strong confederation, here we have great national teams, fantastic players, look, Messi is south american, we also have great tournaments such as copa libertadores or copa America, and my favorite south american tournament is indeed "south american qualifiers" south american qualifiers are very competitive, you really suffer a lot in south american qualifiers and in the end only very good teams qualify, but the teams that fail to qualify are still good... so what are your thoughts?|||Thanks for the compliments but the U.S. needs to stay out of Conmebol for the time being because the U.S. is trying to grow interest in the sport on an adult level. Soccer/Futbol is already the number 1 sport by far in North America. Soccer has to draw hope and expectation among the American people, they'll write Soccer off if they don't see some results.





Consider Concacaf to be America's "training wheels" before significant interest is generated through world cup wins. Soccer is the Number 5 sport in the U.S. and is generally considered a kids game or for the guys too small/weak to play Football, Basketball, Hockey or even baseball. Very soon Soccer will overtake Hockey as the number 4 sport and it will eventually overtake basketball. As demographics of a large hispanic population and declining interest among Whites and Hispanics in basketball favors soccer/futbol.





If the U.S. goes far in the next 2 world cups, expect the U.S. to switch to Conmebol sooner rather than later. Maybe 10 years from now.|||CONMEBOL would be the biggest idiots if they added U.S..........it doesn't make sense geographically and it will do the same thing that happend when Australia joined the AFC...........it took a team from elsewhere and be added to another...........therefore messing up the confederations...........also, USA will get killed if they joined the CONMEBOL...........they at least havea chance in the Concacaff|||Honestly, I think that's BS. People who slam CONCACAF have no clue what they are talking about. CONMEBOL has like 10 member nations. They get 4-5 spots. BS. If USA moved that would further dilute the World Cup field in my opinion unless you combine both CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. Which I really woudn't mind that at all.|||Because the CONCACAF is ran by the USA. So that will not happen, they will not think of that.


What the USA does do is enter the Copa America as invitee. Along with Mexico.|||Why not have England join CONMEBOL? Or what about Spain? Germany? France? South Korea? Ghana?|||we like to be the big dogs in concacaf|||Americans don't have a choice in this. It's decided by FIFA, not the American population. Anyway, I don't understand how you think that being in a more competitive confederation would make a nation stronger? That makes no sense. It's better that the team be in a less competitive confederation. Either way it would not happen because the United States is not in South America.





Anyway, I don't think you realize that the American team already plays in a league, called the Major League Soccer or MLS. 16 cities compete against each other every year in America. Landon Donovan for instance plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy.





The last thing is that most Americans, believe it or not, are not that interested in soccer to begin with. More females play soccer than males in middle and high school. Actually, the US Woman's Soccer team is probably the best in the world. A lot of American girls take soccer when they are young, while most boy play baseball, basketball or football. Most Americans aren't even watching the World Cup, believe it or not. Americans have been watching E3 video game conference and the NBA Championship.





Almost all Americans however, know about the vuvuzelas. That's famous.
