used to happen in england too. there were various leagues throughout the country, including the central league, football combination down south, northern league for teams in the north east , cheshire league and i may be wrong but wasn,t there a lancashire combination or such for non league sides. they were all very competitive with teams made up of squad players and youth team players getting a chance. things changed for some reason in the 90,s when they were more like friendly games. you could watch your side every saturday, with 1st team one week and the stiffs the next. good old days before the diaticians and fitness coaches got their power.
