Why do so many South American clubs have English names?

>>75481108
Some are funded by immigrants and others just thought it'd help them sound more professional some 100 years ago.

>Isaac Newell
>Newell acquired a property and in 1884 he founded the Colegio Comercial Anglicano Argentino with a distinctive red and black colour scheme with emblem. The colours were a mixture from the flags of England and the flag of the German Empire, Anna's nationality.

Who is even good in Argentina at the moment?

well, guess who took soccer to south america? some inbred brits, so they kept the name from 100 years ago

>>75488557
I thought Italians brought soccer to Argentina?

>>75488627
nah, the first englishmen who came played it first, they even have a nickname for them ("the crazy englishmen" or something like that). Then a whole lot more of anglos came by the time Argentina expanded their railways and it gained more popularity among other europeans.
Then most anglos felt disgusted by the greasy italians getting into footy so they moved to rugby & cricket.

>>75488743
Cricket? So we play paki paddle too? I had no idea

>>75481108
>>75481179
same with loads of italian clubs, all english as fuck

>>75489170
no but you fucking love rugby for some reason

>>75489170
Most amateur cubs have a cricket team. Practically relevant rugby and hockey team from Buenos Aires and GBA plays it. There isn't a national league Iirc, it's less popular than softball

>>75492404
Practically every*

Milan (who was founded by an englishman) and?

>>75480167
Messi never played for Newell's and he left Argentina when was 12yo, no one was able to tell he was going to be GOAT

>>75486570
Boca are doing half decent just because they aren't playing the Libertadores

River or Lanús are way better
Racin and Independiente are getting their shit together and improved a lot, both got more points in 2017 than Boca

>>75480066
Mauricio tevez lookee good but he is not playing anymore, what happened to him, injured, drugs or both?

>>75492602
Everyone known he was really good. Not everyone thought it was THAT good to risk the money from his treatment. Still retarded tho.

>>75489200
A lot of clubs back then used to have multiple teams under their control: football, rugby, cricket, hockey, etc.
Then, when the professionalism came, teams were pushed to be either full pro or full amateur. That's when most clubs had to decide to keep footy or rugby. That's was by 1930, native argentine-europeans were already a considerable demographic & rugby stopped being a english-sport only and became a high class sport (wealthy players didn't need to earn a salary to live, unlike football players), also people who were fans of the football teams that disappeared became fans of the clubs' sports in general instead of bandwagoning other pro football teams. That's pretty much how rugby earn his fans, even tho less than other sports like basketball, they are actual non-plastic fans.
Cricket is completely different, once the british flew away for WWI the sport was pretty much dead here. Unlike rugby, cricket is not "that" similar to football, so when the british left, it didn't stick with any considerable social group.

>>75481108
Because they were founded by English immigrants. Football came to Brazil thanks to Charles Miller, a British expat living here

>>75493662
Sometimes I wonder what could've been of rugby in Argentina if the big teams didn't split. It definitely would've been more popular than what it is today.

>>75481273
lmao

>>75481108
Because the English brought football over dumbass.
