London 2012: Men's Olympic Football Tournament [R for ALL results]

You are right, :
Zamorano in Italy
Salas in Argentina (at the time)
Estay in Mexico
Vega in USA (whom didn`t play at the 1999 CA)

Whatever,.... this thread is not about Chile

 

I don`t pretend you to buy anything. In fact, I don`t really care if you want to believe it or not.

Fact is, that most of our best players back then, weren`t considered because Acosta, our coach knew that our team, was becoming extremely old, where many players were close to their retirements and probably not going to keep on playing in the next WC qualifiers, and it was time to start preparing and giving play-time to those who would constitute future line ups, as the Conmebol qualifiers for the next WC were pretty close, and to Chile and most South American countries, these were lots much more important than whatever could be achieved in Copa America.

So Chile, the same as others, threw away another good opportunity to win the CA, reasons that together with some bad results in the Qualifiers, finally meant our succesful 1998 coach, Nelson Acosta, his job as NT coach . All who came afterwards, for some time, couldn`t fix our drama, and we finally ended last in those qualifiers, by very far from the rest of the teams. Our only great achievement in those qualifiers, was that we beat Brazil for our first time in Conmebol qualifiers, by 3-0 at home.
Yes, but that is another story (and again off-topic, )

 

Chile sucks




/Thread

 

Well if that is so, then you should worry more about your NT, since till now we still have had better achievements than your team, where it really matters : the FIFA Word Cup

And if team "A " has been better than team "B", where team "A" sucks, then team "B" should be .......... (you figure that one out)

 

Ah yes

The year was 1962..

 

Hey here are some FIFA WC records, where your NT appears in many of them, and our NT bearly appears, btw. (And it's not just 1962) :
I think , it's better for you to see them for yourself, as posting each and every individual achievement here could be regarded as extremely rude, on how long the list regarding your NT can get to be (specially those considered as bad by most).
Here is the link :

(have fun)

 

You know what i get from that link you posted, Chile's wc record is as unimpressive as Mexico's

If that 3rd places finish in 62 really gets your dick hard than continue boosting about it as if your team was some powerhouse

But in reality chiles and mexicos records are equally meh


But unlike chile, we do have one of these lil things




Pretty neat huh?

And since this thread is about the olympics


chile sucks

I`m not going to continue arguing with you as this thing is getting repetitive, but as I already told you, most of our best players were close to their retirement from the NT and newer players needed that to get international experience on them, therefore started getting it in the 1999 CA.

 

But.....that's a given.

In South America, only Brazil and Argentina are essentially guaranteed to qualify. Throwing Mexico into the equation isn't going to change things.

Mexico, as a team, isn't necessarily that much better or worse than Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay or Peru even though the latter two have been having issues lately.

I also agree that Mexico's Copa America performances aren't necessarily an accurate gauge for how they would perform in CONMEBOL Qualifiers but at least it's something tangible. We have data on our side if we wanted to argue that we could qualify more often than not whereas your argument is tied to opinion and has no real data to back it up.

This is all, of course, pointless since we will never see Mexico qualify out of CONMEBOL and the closest we will get will be Copa America or the supposed Copa America in 2016 that will be played in the US with a bunch of CONCACAF sides sprinkled in.

 

Go away dumbass. And stop embarrassing people from Puerto Rico.

 

Chile has two WC wins over a 50 year period, one of them against the almighty Honduras, please do not talk about achievements son! I think you should worry more about your NT, after all, you're discussing this in a thread of a competition where Chile is not involved.

 

You started off this discussion by that completely idiotic post, in response to this fact:

I believe 5 out of 8 CA in the top 3 is "doing pretty well in them".

And you conveniently listed the only CA where Mexico fielded a C team minus 8 players that were suspended just days before the competition started.

 

Who cares about an irrelevant NT like Chile, seriously? Why do you continue on arguing about how your NT has never been good at all? We believe you.

 

Ok. Viewpoints exchanged.

This tournament ended in August.
