Suggestion for Liga Indonesia<\/p>\n
From Suara Karya<\/p>\n
The Liga Indonesia tournament was a bold step for the
\nIndonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) and should be highly
\nappreciated by soccer fans throughout Indonesia. In addition to
\nLiga Indonesia, PSSI has also prepared a Future Team (Primavera),
\nwhich is currently being trained in Italy. Our hope is that this
\nprogram will be successful enough for Indonesia to then take part
\nin the World Cup in 2002 and 2006.<\/p>\n
However, something can still be done to improve the
\nperformance of Liga Indonesia competition. The tournament
\ninvolves too many teams. With 34 teams participating in the
\ncompetition, the meeting timetable is crammed with matches and
\nthe tournament will last very long. If a player happens to also
\nwork, he will have to leave his job for six months.<\/p>\n
In Europe, similar tournaments involve only 15 to 22 teams.
\nAlso, grouping the participants into two groups (east and west)
\nwill not likely result in a real champion. The top seeded team in
\nthe west group, for instance, will not automatically be able to
\nbeat the lowest seeded team in the east group. Anyway, sports are
\nnot mathematics.<\/p>\n
