Thank God. Hopefully we won't hear from that nitwit Colorado Guacho.

 

LoL...a huevo...ya me tenia arto ese cabron...

 

Not directly related, but today Parana Clube beat Atletico Paranaense (2nd place in 2005 Libertadores) 3-1 in Atleticos stadium, meaning Parana goes to the Capeonato Paranaense final.

This victory should add confidence to the team winning during the next round, as they are now the undesputed best team in Parana


Also, I wore my Parana shirt today (in Boston) and a guy from Minas recognised it and staretd talking to me. Fun!

 

F.T. Grêmio 1 - 0 Cerro Porteño
F.T. Deportes Tolima 3 - 4 Cúcuta Deportivo

Grupo 3
Grêmio: 3-1-2 (4/4; 0) 10 pts.
Cúcuta Deportivo: 2-3-1 (9/7; +2) 9 pts.
Deportes Tolima: 2-1-3 (5/6; -1) 7 pts.
Cerro Porteño: 2-1-3 (4/5; -1) 7 pts.

 

Cerro Porteño goes from first to last.

 

And tolima from 2nd to 3rd.

What a group

 

This probably the most balanced group in the cup

 

man, i am crazy stoked about tonight and tomorrow.

 

Why? Is Pumas playing?

 

No, but I'm stoked about boludos juniors getting the boot, etc.

Cienciano y Toluca no se deben confiar. Boca is gonna go all out, with all due respect to the bolivian brothers here, and the rival certainly helps (Bolivar).

 

lol funniest shit ever!!

 

This edition of Bolivar is the suckiest ever to go to Libertadores. They're second to last in the league right now and they finished sixth in the last tournament. I find it nearly impossible that they get anything.

 

That's a Typical Cerro Portenio performance, they will find a way to "NOT WIN" they are the AL Bundy's of International soccer.

 

F.T. River Plate 1 - 0 Colo Colo
F.T. Liga Dep. Universitaria 3 - 1 Caracas FC

Grupo 6
Colo Colo: 3-0-3 (12/7; +5) 9 pts.
Caracas FC: 3-0-3 (7/10; -3) 9 pts.
LDU Quito: 2-2-2 (7/8; -1) 8 pts.
River Plate: 2-2-2 (5/6; -1) 8 pts.

 

Another "close" group, although this one was skewed because the teams were already qualified.

 

Am I correct in saying that Caracas will be playing Santos?

If so, ouch, they should have won or tied today just to avoid that

 

F.T. Necaxa 2 - 0 Alianza Lima
F.T. São Paulo FC 2 - 2 Audax Italiano


Grupo 2
Necaxa: 4-0-2 (9/7; +2) 12 pts.
São Paulo FC: 3-2-1 (11/4; +7) 11 pts.
Audax Italiano: 3-2-1 (8/6; +2) 11 pts.
Alianza Lima: 0-0-6 (2/13; -11) 0 pts.

 

Me saco el sombrero y aplaudo lo del Auditax. Siendo un equipo chileno cuyo gran merito era el simple hecho de haber llegado a la Libertadores, logro pelear hasta la ultima fecha por clasificar. De hecho, termino con mas puntos que Colo Colo.


Para los que son buenos para buscar info/antecedentes ,cual habra sido el ultimo equipo en Copa Libertadores que SPFC no logro vencer? Y cual habra sido el ultimo equipo en conseguir "algo" en el Morumbi ?

Metro

 

How it stands:

1) Santos 18
2) Flamengo 16
3) Libertad 13
4) Necaxa 12
5) Vélez 11
6) Grêmio 10
7) Colo Colo 9
8)
9) América 12
10) São Paulo 11
11) Nacional 10
12) Cúcuta 9
13) Paraná 9
14) Sporting 9
15) Caracas 9
16)

 

Chivas last year beat them at Morumbi in the first round. uggh I can't believe I remembered that. Vamos Pachuca!!!

 

You mean in the Libertadores only?

Estudiantes beat Sao Paulo in the quarters of last year's Libertadores in Argentina.

Necaxa beat them this year in Mexico.

As for the Morumbi:

Boca beat Santos 3-1 at the Morumbi for the 2003 Libertadores.

Chivas beat Sao Paulo last year at the Morumbi in the group stages of the Libertadores even though Sao Paulo dominated them in the Semi's.

Last year Boca tied tied Sao Paulo 2-2 at the Morumbi for the Re-Copa. The match was extremely dominated by Boca and Sao Paulo's second goal came off a really stupid own goal by Boca.

 

exhales a sigh of relief...

This is all we got going for us since our league performance was unspeakable.
