South American World Cup Qualifiers

[Earth]

16 year old Kendry Páez danced all over Uruguay the other night on his debut for the NT. Became the youngest debutant ever and second youngest south american to play for his NT behind Maradona. Also became the youngest ever to assist a goal in SA WC qualifiers

haha Brazil is in 5th place they tied Venezuela away then lost to Uruguay at home 2-0 then just lost to Colombia yesterday 2-1.

I saw their roster and it is crazy young. I think they are just trying to develop a team and with 6.5 spots for 10 teams and 1-2 teams that don't really even exist in Peru/Boliva(fine I know Peru got to the play off but Colombia and Chile as well as most of the SA teams last quailers just weren't scoring goals and tying every fking game)

5 games in
Peru is out - they have 0 good players and are in last place with 1 point. They lose to Venezuela next game and its pretty much officially over for them
Bolivia is out - 0 good players and they are all like 5'3. Their home stadium isn't as scary as it once was. Teams just bring younger players or players can breathe in high altitude to win.
Chile/Paraguay to me are the next weakest. Chile just hasn't replaced their golden generation.

I mean I hate Uruguay..... like with a passion but they are freaking scary especially now with Bielsa.

Dude Brazil is in 6th place

1 point below Venezuela which most of you didn’t even know played futy haha

2 points below Ecuador who started with -3 points for using a Colombian player all of last qualifiers and almost getting booted out of the world cup

After 6 games all I can say is the level in South America is fking painful to watch. Teams are only on for like 3 minutes then shut off.

Colombia should have score 50 on Paraguay and missed 70 shots. Brazil in the 1st 10 minutes could have scored 20 on Colombia but just made 1 goal

A lot of these games are 1-0 bore fest or everyone is fking diving.

Not sure who is worse right now Brazil or Germany

When it was 5 spots teams needed 25 points to qualify

So Argentina with 15, Uruguay with 13 and Colombia with 12 points in 6 games out of 18. Are pretty much qualified with 6.5 spots

Colombia needs to beat Bolivia and Peru twice.

6.5 spots for 10 teams is insane

I think the problems of Brasil are uncertainty of coaching spot and the crop of generation after Neymar is so so, they would qualify anyway with more slots for WC but they’re so disappointed right now.

Tying to Venezuela for them is bad losing to Uruguay away isn’t that bad of a result. Even losing to Colombia away it’s like 100 degrees in that stadium and Diaz was is super Saiyan mode since he had just gotten his dad back.

Also losing to Argentina it’s not like it was a blow out or they played that much worse.

The level of South American teams is worst than watching the mls. Not sure if these guys are just jet lagged all coming from Europe but all these games are worst than watching little kids play that aren’t yours and you don’t love

"During the Argentina-Brazil match on Tuesday, TV images showed Brazil forward Rodrygo in a heated discussion with former Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi and midfielder Rodrigo de Paul. This behavior from Messi didn’t sit well with RMC Sport pundit and former PSG player Jérôme Rothen. The French football pundit sounded off on the veteran for how he conducted himself with the Brazilian. “Once again, I am not surprised by their attitude,” Rothen said on RMC Sport (h/t Le10Sport). “It’s been a long time. Except that the World Cup reinforced them in this behavior. They are world champions, and we congratulate them for that. Messi’s team, you had to give it to Messi… He got it very well. “We remember very well that they were able to benefit at times from the famous 12th man. What is certain is that this is not the best team in the world. (…) In terms of behavior, they are number one in taking themselves for others.” The altercation had consequences on social media. After the game, Rodrygo reported that he had been the target of racist comments on social media. On Thursday, he shared his experience through posts on Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter). Furthermore, this wasn’t the only time that Messi made news during the international break with Argentina. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner scolded PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte for his behavior against De Paul during the Uruguay-Argentina match. Ugarte confronted De Paul with an NSFW gesture, and Messi noted that players like the 22-year-old on the Uruguayan squad need to learn to follow the elders on the team, referring to Luis Suárez."

Totally agree for Messi & co. They are bunch of dirty cheaters,with complex being little midgets so they just love to bully everyone.

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!

 

[crzdcolombian]

Uruguay got hit really hard with sanctions for the fight with Colombian fans. Suarez last game will be in this round of qualifiers

I think the Colombian federation got hit with a 100k fine for the final.

Any way excited and think we can jump to 1st place if we beat Argentina at home. If we lose or tie I am going to be disappointed.

Messi will not be there. Di Maria retired. So it's a team that is rebuilding without their 2 corner pieces. We should have won the final if the coach didnt make the 5 most retarded subs in history. If we don't win I dont want Argentinan coaches anymore feel like they just try not to win against that fking team

tho at this point qualification is a joke. 6 teams make it and 1 goes to a play off. That is 70% of the region !!!! Only exciting thing will be the inter continual qualifier for our 7th place team.

excited for Venezuela v Uruguay. See if Venezuela is legit or not. They were pretty exciting in qualifiers and did very well until they fkd up vs Canada. It's funny they basically did the US game plan. Hey your 7% Venezuelan because your great grand dad was born here as a European business man. Want to play for our team Its cool you don't need to know Spanish.

 

[crzdcolombian]

..... the Colombia v Peru game was so painful to watch... We better not play that badly vs Argentina at home or they going to score 10 on us.

Bolivia tho was almost impossible to beat en La Paz their capital because it was 3,000 feet above sea level. Teams started beating them. So they go cool. Lets play 4,000 feet above sea level. They murdered poor Venezuela 4-0.

I mean with 7 spots available they might make it if they win every home game playing in outer space.

This round is pretty good

Colombia - Argentina (in Colombia) should be a good. Tho Argentina is way better without Messi. Colombia tried to play Peru without James and it was worse than 3rd division MLS.

Paraguay - Brazil - good game in Paraguay. If they want to remain alive in qualifiers they need to at least tie here.

Chile - Bolivia will be interesting. If Chile doesnt win they are done.

Venezuela vs Uruguay with 5-6 suspended players at home. They need to win

Ecuador should beat Peru pretty badly in Ecuador.

Does it matter what's the position in the table regarding the World Cup as it's top6 going there?

yes top 2 could be heads of groups. but yea at this point Colombia and Argentina are pretty much qualified with 6 direct spots and 1 play off.

Really hope we start trying out new guys. Playing 33 year old James Rodriguez in 4,000 feet above sea level in bOlivia next game seems like a bad move. Just call up guys who play in high altitude and leave them there for 1-2 weeks before the game.

Colombia hopefully gets 6/6 next round vs Bolivia(away) and Chile at home and thats 22 points tho we should have beaten Peru so that sucks. Think you just need 25

Argentina at 18 points + 6 next game Venezuela (away... could be a tough game) but then Bolivia at home

shocked how bad Brazil is. Peru and Chile need to fire their coaches

I remember last time Brasil was in crisis, had trouble to pass WC qualification, they went to win in the end. But they had star power back then tbf, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Carlos …, now there’s no joga bonito, whole back like is ass actually, Gabriel? Marquinhos? Danilo? Meh, don’t think Vini can lead them like Neymar has done
