I've been watching the chile games, and the two main stand outs have been Bryan Rabello (who plays for sevilla B) and Nicolás Castillo (Who plays for Universidad Católica) It's a shame Wigan/Manchester United didn't let Angelo Henríquez attend this comp.

First Superclasico Boca - River this Saturday, it's technically a friendly since it's only the Torneo de Verano, but it's never a friendly.

Brazil's youth bought into their own hype too much and, truth be told, some of them aren't really that good.

Big loving time.

So since we are into the last round lets get an update as to what has happened.



The top three teams of each group now go through to the next round of games. With Chile and Peru coming top of each group.

Im amazed Peru has been able to come on top of there group. Their national coach should try to get some of these players in as they are currently second last on the CONMEBOL WCQ (And as a chilean they shouldn't listen to me)

Most of them.

Really, this Brazilian generation isn't very good. Our flagship player is basically Robinho 2.0. Most young players that could develop into great, national-level players end up being co-opted by European teams and rotting on the reserves; others do exactly what Vinestalk said: believe they are better than they actually are, and hubris is a bitch.

2014 is gonna suck. :smith:

Edit: I will say, though, that the quality of some of the other countries is higher. I'm liking the resurgence by Colombian football.

You really shouldn't complain about the Argentine commentators. The Mexican ones are horrible beyond belief, all of them. You're lucky if you get these guys all the time.

I missed the racist chants incident, but I'm glad the ref threatened to stop the game, gently caress Sepp and his "there are other solutions" bullshit.

ESPN Deportes always has the best commentators.

No way, Bambino Pons owns and I would love to hear him sing instead of the Mexicans talking about Chicharito all the loving time, even when Man Utd aren't even playing.

I like bambino Pons but only when he's with Diego Latorre or that other guy that sounds exactly like Latorre. He can get really anoying when the game gets boring and starts saying nonsense.
But yes, ESPN Deportes has better commentators, unless it's a MLS game.

I know nobody cares but I'm posting about it anyway:

Round 1 results

Nicaragua 1 - Guatemala 1 :laugh: Guate sucks
Honduras 1 - El Salvador 1
Costa Rica 1 - Belize 0 :negative:
Panama free

Round 2 today

14:00 Belize - Guatemala
16:00 El Salvador - Panama
18:00 Costa Rica - Nicaragua
Honduras free

We will probably do a "dominate and waste 20+ chances" masterclass again tonight against Nicaragua.

He's gonna be a menace in the qualifiers, and we face them first.

Results:

Belize 0 - Guatemala 0
El Salvador 0 - Panama 0
Costa Rica 2 - Nicaragua 0


Group A

Costa Rica 6pts
Belize 2pts
Guatemala 1pt
Nicaragua 1pt

Group B

El Salvador 2pts
Honduras 1pt
Panama 1pt


Tuesday fixtures:

Belize - Nicaragua
Costa Rica - Guatemala
Honduras - Panama

Top two in each group go to the semis, third places go to the 5th place match. Why? because out of 7 teams 5 qualify to the gold cup. Would be hilarious if Guate fail to qualify again.
