I can't believe that Argentina didn't win.. But I guess they miss a lot of strikers that have made the jump early.. Messi, Agüero, Higuaín..

the argentina team i saw yesterday is crap i can't believe how bad they are.

I didn't watch the match but Argentinean press certainly isn't impressed. It is a shame though since they are usual a great side.

I think Mexico is going to make a splash because they are basically the same team that won the under 17 two years ago

what are you talking about? I didn't know Mexico was in S America!

no Mexico here, mate.

tonight:

Paraguay 1 - 0 Chile

Brazil 2 - 1 Peru

Brazil played badly, and our defence was a joke in both games.

We were very unlucky to lose the game as time expired. Extremely unlucky. We also missed a sitter late in the game that had you beaten 2-1. Congrats Brasileiro! you're through already to next round with this lucky win. Bring on Paraguay!

is this still the group stages...?

right, puro. you equalized and parked the bus. but the bus was crashed in the end.

this Brazil's defence is one of the worst I've seen in my life. our midfield is very good though.

right back Amaral should be replaced by Fagner. striker edgar should go out and never come back.

Alexandre Pato, Leandro Lima, and Lucas are our best players so far.

Sí Ricardo, it was Perú's first game. We have Paraguay, Chile, and Bolivia. Top 3 from each group advance to second round. The remaining 6 teams will play round robin. The top 4 will go to the WC, and the top 2 to the Olympics I believe. We had Brasil Ricardo!!! We had them and let them escape!!!

We are missing our two best players who happen to be our top strikers Daniel Chávez (Club Brugge) and Jairzinho Baylón (Alianza Lima).

Chávez got injured and Baylón's absence is due to conflicts between his agents and Alianza Lima. Apparently Alianza Lima's president (lots of clout) put pressure on Federación Peruana de Fútbol to not take him to the competition so that European scouts don't see him play. Baylón is a "free" player as we speak so Alianza Lima wouldn't make any money with a transfer to a European team.

So there is nothing lost then... ! Let's hop you can go to the second round!

Are Brasil really that bad, As Todo said...? Are there no talents in this category.. or did they come up with a second team...?

Brasil are always good, really good. I think they're missing one or two players just like us. Todo was just convinced Brasil were gonna crush us, and we can play. As disorganized as we are, we can still play. Just wait 'till we get the whole house in order.

phew... I almost thought Brasil were down hill! Anyway, unlucky for you guys!

Argentine lost 2-1 to columbia yesterday.

The columbian #10 was every lively and assisted their 2nd goal after running though the entire argentine defense, argentine was shit.

Talking about the next -20 world cup

Argentina have the worst team I've ever seen in my life...and if we consider the team we had for the previous preolimpic southamerican u20 it's just shameful. I seriously fear for qualification...anyway Boca might get Colombia's 10 soon...don't know how I feel about it...as for u20...let's leave this thread to die slowly and the shame with it...

again, we played badly. paraguay deserved the win. our defense is a joke. our full backs are poor. Amaral, our right back, should be replaced by Fagner, but our coach Nelson Rodrigues is a bit of a retard (you can tell that just by listening to him talking). our only good players are the gaúchos Alexandre Pato and Lucas. Leandro Lima began the tournment well, but then he began to dive like fuck. he's beginning to look like robinho in a bad way. anyway, we finished first of our group, god knows how.

brazil, paraguay and chile qualified. I thought peru would go on, but they let me down.

We were out before the tourney began Todo. We will always be out until Burga is gone from the FPF.

Brazil - Argentina up next, no?
