This thread is to discuss awesome competitions in the Americas such as: Copa Libertadores Copa Sudamericana Argentine League Brazilian League And whatever else comes up regarding Central and South America. What about the Northerners? They have their own threads and if you care you read all of them so this is a stupid question.

 What is it? quote:The Copa Santander Libertadores de América, known simply as the Copa Libertadores is an annual international club football competition organized by CONMEBOL since 1960. It is the most prestigious club competition in South American football and one of the most watched events in the world, broadcast in 135 nations worldwide. The tournament is named in honor of the Libertadores (Portuguese and Spanish for Liberators), the main leaders of the South American wars of independence, so a literal translation of its name into English would be the "Santander Liberators of America Cup". Who's playing?  What's going on right now? We're on the knockout stages, halfway through the round of 16:  Why should I watch? Because it's awesome, you usually see fantastic games and crazy stuff like seeing lovable minnows such as Ecuador's Emelec eliminating giants Flamengo by beating them 3-2 on the last matchday of the group stages. This is my favorite moment so far but this cup is full of those. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saTHVZnUWhY So come to the lands where football is still alive and continental cups are not predetermined!

Wow, I expected U to win this. I was out and didn't have a chance to watch it but U were awesome in the other cup and I didn't imagine they would crumble now. The magic of the cup I guess...Brandy Alexander posted:Excellent thread Drogadon. While I'm here I'd like to point out that the top Mexican teams don't play in the Libertadores as they have to play in the CONCA-CHAMPIONS. Thanks. Is it true that the Mexican teams don't want to play the libertadores anymore? Or maybe it was the league that doesn't want it.

Vinestalk posted:Watch the Boca game. It'll be cool. I swear. I'll post some equally unimpressive previews for Thursday's matches tomorrow. The first leg was brilliant, Union Española played very well at La Bombonera and showed they're no pushovers against an in-form Boca. It will definitely be awesome.

Yeah, the instability is awesome, it also enables the ocassional small team to show up and do some damage then disappear. You guys remember Paysandu?quote:Paysandu Sport Club is a Brazilian football club located in Belém, Pará. Paysandu is also known as Papão da Curuzu (or simply Papão, which means Bogeyman in Portuguese) because it won several titles in the 1940s and Curuzu from the name of the street where Paysandu's stadium sits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQZuIHSX7Xg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2r5hfcB5s

In 1993 Club Sport Herediano won their 21st Costa Rican league championship, since then they have been poo poo and/or unlucky, until saturday where by beating Santos de Guapiles 1-2 away (6-3 agg), "El Team" are champions again. This makes me happy for two reasons, 1. Anyone but the purple cunts and 2. Heredianos are really awesome and loyal fans, they love their team like you wouldn't believe and really deserved to finally celebrate after being bitterly disappointed last tournament and losing to a dodgy ref call. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150858707494340

Yeah, he's a key player for Herediano, I think he's even the captain sometimes. He scores good goals on a regular basis too. It's weird, I always thought South Americans playing here were nobodies back home, that's why I didn't even ask if you knew him.

Russia - Uruguay playing right now 1 Nestor Fernando Muslera A 2 Diego Lugano DF 16 Maximiliano Victorio Paez Pereira DF 3 Diego Godín DF 22 Martin Caceres DF 15 Diego Pérez V 11 Álvaro Pereira V 17 Egidio Arevalo Rios V 10 Diego Forlán DEL 21 Edinson Cavani DEL 9 Luis Suárez DEL So exactly the formation Polidoro showed us the other day. Can't watch right now but it should be good even though it's just a useless friendly. Later tonight Costa Rica - Guatemala where you can watch future promise Joel Campbell tear poo poo up and also wonder at the fact that the oval office Pescadito still plays for Guate.

Costa Rican second division has a champion and it's Uruguay de Coronado. I am really happy about this and will make proper effortposts here and in the pronoted teams thread when I get back to my laptop. In other news we beat Guate 3-2. Couldnt watch but I gathered that we were quite poor, the cubt fish scored twice and Campbell owned.

He just joined the purple cunts, he is a horrible shameful person now (again, he already played for them before). You can see in his eyes that there is no soul in there anymore...

I think Neymar was smart in staying for a while longer to mature before going to Europe, in theory. He should be bulking up though and he hasnt done it at all, he's gonna be torn apart by any big defender in the European leagues if he doesn't bulk up quite a bit. EDIT: I completely forgot about this new Copa Argentina thing, looks like Boca just beat Rosario Central for a place in the semis against Deportivo Merlo and the other semi is River - Racing. Are they taking it seriously or playing B-Teams? Simone Poodoin fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 31, 2012 |

Meanwhile in Copa Argentina: Boca drew 1-1 with Merlo and beat them 5-4 in penalties. Later River drew 0-0 with Racing and then lost 5-4 in penalties. Boca fans rejoiced, lots of images making fun of River appeared all over the internet and I thought this one was pretty funny:

Polidoro posted:I wouldn't say I'm a Defensor fan, I don't support anyone in particular. When I was a kid I was a Peñarol 'supporter', as in my parents bought me a kit and said I supported them. Then I started watching football and I started hating Peñarol Hehe my story is pretty similar to yours, my dad and grandpa bought me Saprissa stuff but when I was old enough to understand and watch on my own I started hating them.

It was true, it wasn't known until relatively recently when the doctors spoke up if I recal correctly. Even though he played for two of the cuntiest teams ever that I hate Fat Ronaldo can do no wrong and never has
