Copa Sudamericana 2005 [R]

[dapip]

Personally i think it would be better for them if they did start earlier instead of walking right into a last 16 elimination game. Hell maybe even 2 teams both starting earlier.

The MLS teams aren't bad, but they lack legitmiate international cup experiance and it shows, getting in a round or 2 earlier would help their chances i think.

I would prefer a wider arrangement the teams, like libertadores (36 I think) and avoid direct confrontation between same country teams in the eliminatory and 1st round.... With 36 teams and maybe some sacrifice from Brasil and Argentina we could allow maybe 3 or 4 Concacaf teams, but send them to the first round...

I just had to do some lenghthy research and you're right, DCU played Vasco in the coveted Interamerican cup in 1998:rolleyes:. Not quite the same type of tournament little girl.

Exactly. Vasco had just won the Libertadores Cup, so they were much better than anything in this Copa Sudamericana. :p

My guess is that Atl. Nacional is going to rape America.

They played 4 finals in a row in the Colombian League and they just became Champion (4th time)
My guess is that they have a bad a.. team.

notaron que los equipos que quedan son bracas, argies y mexies

con la excepcion de U catolica.....(pero miren con quien se eliminaron ellos)


copa nissan tiene que revisar los 12 de brazil y los 9 o 10 que participan por argentina desde el principio.....Y los equipos que entran en la segunda ronda de be ser abolido......llegan descansaditos! No es disculpa a lo de ayer, solo buscar paridad.....los de MLS/CR y FMF que se eliminen entre ellos para 2nd ronda y asi se llega mas lejos

ademas la primera ronda mostro estadios totalmente vacios en Brazil

Pienso lo mismo, pero los resultados los van a usar como argumento para seguirle dando preferencia a Argentina, Brasil y Mexico.... Claro la logica es inexistente, porque si pones 8 equipos de un pais con cupo directo a los cuartos, pues la posibilidad es que uno avance, no?

Los que tienen mas merito son los manitos que pusieron 2 de 2 en cuartos, pero igual, porque todos los otros paises se tienen que eliminar entre ellos antes de ir a Octavos? Porque solo habia un representante de cada uno de los otros 8 paises ? Y porque tienen que matarse entre si, sin enfrentar a Brasileros o Argentinos o Mexicanos?

Great news!

[SoccerScout]

Yeah thats good news. What made them change there mind?

Yeah thats good news. What made them change there mind?

They originally had a baseball playoff game scheduled for that time, but when the White Sox-Angels series ended early, the time slot opened up.

With the Internacional-Boca game conveniently scheduled to start two-and-a-half hours before tonight's Astros-Cardinals game, it was a common sense call to put it on live.

Nice move.

only by one goal, i hope they come back with a 2-0 in the next game

[Caturro]

Por lo que decia Pellicer, pareciera que este Fluminense es mas accesible de lo que parecia, pero como todo equipo Brasileno, tiene sus cosas y hay que jugarles con cuidado. Un gol de ellos en el San Carlos complicaria a la Cato demasiado... esperemos que juegen inteligente.

La verdad, ya han llegado mas lejos de lo que cualquier Chileno hubiera esperado.

.....los de MLS/CR y FMF que se eliminen entre ellos para 2nd ronda y asi se llega mas lejos

ojala los equipos de CR pudieran al menos eliminarse, ya q solo mejicanos y gringos tiene en el derecho de participar, yo no pido que nos regalenen ningun spot, solo que nos den un chance de calificar, no se como contra equipos de ligas como la venezolana, boliviana, peruana, paraguaya que estan un poco mas abajo que las demas ligas suramericanas, o al menos contra los mismos de concacaf, pero que dejen de hacer elecciones al dedo como lo hacen los dirigentes de concacaf.
