venezuela y peru? no se como terminar mis grados hasta el momento que complicado esta el torneo- nada es normal!
Para nada, lo que mas te hace abrir los ojos son los de Paraguay y Uruguay ... I would have never put money down that Uruguay was going to knock off Argentina in their own soil. And Brasil is Brasil.
Brazil was Brazil you mean. Now, after all is said and done, I think: 1. Paraguay / they have mastered the technique of infusing their rivals with despair, frustrating every one of their players, and making the public sleep. Horrible football, but executed so well you cannot fail to admire it, like gawking at a gargoyle in Notre Dame: the thing is butt ugly, but deserves respect. 2. Uruguay / football is a game of brains and balls. Tabarez got the brains, the team got the balls. Showing their semifinal in the Mundial was no fluke, anyone who calls them "ratoneros" is clueless: they always keep at least three open venues of attack. 3. Brazil / fallen giants but still enormous, they can play as a team only once in a while, most often they're nothing but an assorted collection of good players. 4. Venezuela / yup, they are for real and they're spectacular. Or at least good enough to probably qualify for 2014. 5. Chile / the new jogo bonito, lovely to watch and defending with three offers great spectacle but is far too vulnerable to counters. If Chile fixes their defense, they can be the New Brazil. 6. Peru / sometimes a team hits rock bottom and needs a true Magician to come out of nothingness. Peru is a good example of what a good coach can do with a decent group of players. 7. Colombia / fast wing play, solid defensive mids, disorganized defending, Colombia shows why great teams are made from the defense forward. The disconnect between the defensive half and the attacking half means they often take too long to organize themselves, and by the time they are ready, the team in front of them is already curled up into a rock. 8. Argentina / a shadow of what they used to be, cuesta abajo en su rodada, nothing summarizes Argentina better than the Clarin title: "El Dolor de ya No Ser." It's going to be hard to rebuild, with a total lack of world class defensive players, it's like an animal with an imposing head but a weak body and paralized legs. Wouldn't be surprised if they fail to qualify for 2014. 9. Ecuador / Pero, ay! que barbaridad, y yo sin moverme del mismo lugar, Ecuador has a defective Rueda. When somehow you manage to get your attackers in the way of each other instead of playing together, you shouldn't be coaching. 10. Bolivia / The sad, cold, dark deepest pit. Bolivia is the only CONMEBOL team that could be called a minnow, I still think they always do a lot better when Joselito Vaca is on the field --at least, they don't lose so badly.
I would put Peru on your first bracket, they have done far better then expected and Uruguay made the semis at the WC so them making the semis at the CA is not a surprise not to mention they knocked out Argentina, so I don't see how they are performing below expectations. I would also put Chile on below exceptions, they where expected to run over Mexico U22 and Peru, they struggled vs both and where expected to beat Venezuela which they didnt. Chile is still a very good team but they just havent really looked the same since Bielsa left.

De acuerdo en q el Peru-Chile puede ser intercambiable Paraguay so high... I mean, they got the results, but performance wise...5mentarios
lo digo solo porque saben sacar resultados: el orden del dia pide que el DT sea resultadista....parece que no importa quien juege bien o decentemente. avanzar es lo que importa....paraguay lo hizo....sin comentarios este lugar necesita ser animado por kesone y cia https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=23967987#post23967987 es interesante ver que poco saben muchos de futbol suramericano es esos foros
Lo que no estoy dispuesto a aceptar son los rotulos, estoy podrido de los rotulos, pero podrido estoy, eh? De los medios, de los periodistas, de los tecnicos, y de los foristas que ponen rotulos ya estoy cansado de eso asi que de ahora en adelante ya voy a empezar a contestar cuando vengan los rotulos porque me parece que es injusto e inmerecido no se los voy a admitir mas, los voy a desenmascarar ya me tienen podrido con lo de "los dos grandes" de America Argentina y Brasil de ahora en adelante y hasta que lo detronen URUGUAY es el indiscutido numero uno de America! Ta claro? Basta ya!

En los mano a mano, Uruguay no fue mejor que Chile ni que Argentina. Tienes que aceptarlo. Incluso en el debut con Perú tuvieron muchos problemas para empatarles. En esta Copa América no vimos una selección como España, ni siquiera como Holanda o Alemania, ninguna.
es que nunca nadie fue o va a ser mejor que Chile ..... en la fase de grupo... en los amistosos... cuando no nay nada en juego... el unico problemita es que a algun tarado se le ocurrio inventar los cuartos de final, las semifinales, las finales... tsk tsk tsk una lastima pero sigan participando... uno nunca sabe...
de acuerdo en eso!! tal vez podes agregar el analisis del gol suertudo que les dio el portero mexicano para los 3 puntos en sector de grps!! tampoco fuero superiores al equipo experimental de los manitos. pero desde el punto de vista de los GU-GonC: "un golcito era lo que necisatabamos, para que el desgaste, che... mira que ya queriamos a brazil o argentina en la final, es lo UNICO que cuenta en la copa'
