Copa Libertadores 2012 - Octavos [R]

omg this is a massacre

8 now...

This is brutal! Must suck to be a Bolivar fan right now. This is very painful to watch.

they could have scored 3 more, but they clearly decelerated after the 8th goal. Neymar almost scored another golazo but the Bolivar keeper saved it over the line with a high kick that almost hit Neymar´s face. If it was not 8-0 already, the ref would maybe have awarded an indirect free-kick for Santos...

Universidade de Chile is winning 2-0 with 32 minutes played. One more and they're through. Can they pull it off?

EDIT: what a long-range scorcher. They're up 3-0.

my Fluzao has the score we need, I hope we relax a little and Deco gets more space so we can wrap this up.

Perfect 1st half by la U. Hope nothing extraordinary happens so we can pass through. One more goal just to be sure .

Agreed. And let's remember also that the Champions' League's better teams would be considerably weaker without our South American players. They need us - we do NOT need them.

Universidade de Chile now up by 4-0.

Its goleada day in the Libertadores.

Universidade de Chile is now defeating Esportivo Quito by 6 to 0. Another 8-0 rout?

Fluminense 2, Internacional 1
Universidade de Chile 6, Esportivo Quito 0

The quarterfinals are set.

Fluminense vs. Boca Juniors
Universidade de Chile vs. Liberdade
Corinthians vs. Vasco
Santos vs. Velez Sarsfield

Great match, no low points. No we get our injured players back and back on track

Keep your day job, brah.

I have fun with rankings. According to the IFFHS, the Octavos:

#40 Fluminense vs. #45 Internacional --> Flu should win, with effort. (They were right)
#102 Unión Española vs. #27 Boca Juniors --> Boca won both, goal diff should've been bigger. (Half right? UE should be higher in their ranking, perhaps)
#3 U de Chile vs. #73 Deportivo Quito --> La U lost in the height of Quito, but crushed them in Santiago. (They were right)
#16 Libertad vs. #87 Cruz Azul --> Libertad won easy in the end. (They were right)
#44 Corinthians vs. #107 Emelec --> Corinthians should have scored more, "altura" not a factor (Half right)
#64 Lanús vs. #10 Vasco da Gama --> Vasco should have won easy, not by penalties. (They were wrong)
#12 Santos vs. #130 Bolívar --> In the end Santos won easy, but even in La Paz they should have got a tie, at the very least. (Half right)
#6 Vélez Sarsfield vs. #115 Atlético Nacional --> Vélez should've won easy, but it was a one-goal match. (They were wrong; At. Nac. needs to be ranked a lot higher)

Three right, three "half right" and two wrongs.

For the QF, their predictions would be:

Boca defeats Flu (with some effort)
U de Chile beats Libertad (with some effort)
Vasco defeats Corinthians (fairly easily)
Velez defeats Santos (barely)

Would've been if Mina and Bolaños had been correctly sent off. The Argie ref was far too kind.

WTF 8-0 AND 6-0 MATCHES
THIS WAS A CRAZY NIGHT
I really wanted to see that Inter-Flu game but they showed Dep. Quito and U. de Chile instead.

I remember hearing about that match and how now Flamengo's hincha rubbed it in. That sucks but at least it was 4 years ago.
Looks like you are going to go watch that game now , Lucky!
If so I say take lots of pics and take it easy on us.
