CONMEBOL are playing against the AFC team this time. No idea who it might be. Is Mexico going to the playoff? I haven't followed the CONCACAF WCQ.

Maybe we can send Lugano to assault Chicharito anyway and solve everybody's problems.

I am down with any and all Lugano shenanigans.

CONCACAF WCQ is currently very tight and Mexico are being poo poo so they could end up going to the playoff.

That would be against New Zealand. It wouldn't surprise me if Mexico lost to NZ. They know how to counter attack and have a decent bus (Funny thing Andrew Durante is Uruguayan so he can speak Spanish and yell at any spanish speaking player).

CONMEBOL 5 spot would be from asia. Either Oman or Uzbekistan.

So San Martin is winning against Estudiantes securing Independiente a place in the Nacional B next season.

EDIT: Independiente will play in second division next season. :byewhore:

Yes, the 3 teams with the worst average in the last 3 seasons get relegated. It sucks for newly promoted teams because if they not make a really good first season they always end going down.

Good game by Newell's but It's strange they got almost a month off and some AM players came back from playing the Confederations cup only a couple days ago.

Atletico Mineiro was also without its 2 central defenders ( Rever is suspended and Leonardo Silva hurt) and defensive midfielder (Donizete is hurt).

In another weird conmebol decision, Atletico won't be able to play at their current stadium because it only seats ~22000 people and conmebol demands a stadium with a minimum capacity of 40000, but Olimpia will be able to play at defensores, which seats 31000 (36000 if people stand).

That's not new, remember when Atletico Paranaense had to play against Sao Paulo in Porto Alegre because the same rule? I guess they let Olimpia play in a smaller stadium because it's the largest in Paraguay.

Yes, I remember that, but this time it involves allowing one and not the other. It is specially ridiculous because Independencia looks to be in much better shape (light issues notwithstanding) than Defensores del Chaco (and the only way its capacity comes to 36000 is by making parts of the stadium standing room only). Ultimately it doesn't matter much because Atletico will play in belo horizonte itself, but still...

And Olimpia would have to play in Porto Alegre or Cordoba :D

I agree it's a lovely rule and should consider other aspects than only capacity.

CONMEBOL once banned Defensor Sporting from playing in their own stadium because it was too small and then allowed other team to rent it to play in the same competition. Turns out they were just mad at Defensor for selling their tickets too cheap.

Seedorf with a wonder goal against Gremio today - he's still got it, but unfortunately he had to limp off before the end of the match. Also, they showed Renato Gaucho's daughter in the stands and uh wow

I'm on my phone but people should look this up. He beats two defenders and puts one right in the top corner. Lovely goal.

They should also look up Renato's daughter, really.

I'm really skeptical of the guy's skill as a coach, but I really want him to do well because he's our biggest idol and a Cool Dude.

In more conmebol drama, Olimpia has released only 1600 tickets for the Atletico Mineiro supporters, despite rules saying that 10% of all tickets must be reserved for the visiting team (and for the final the minimum is supposed to be 4000). The reason they give for that is safety. It wouldn't be libertadores without some off the field drama like this.
