Copa Libertadores 2009 [R]

Brasilans worry too much about altitude, anyone remember last year, the ass whooping that Cruziero i think gave Real Potosi at home?

 

What is the actual altitude in Bolivia in the stadium for the retorno game next week?

Palmeiras is just too much for Potosi, I think

 

Potosi is a VERY weak team... all unwanted and recycled players from the Bolivian league... que verguenza.

I wouldnt be surprised if they lose at home next week.

 

WHen he played them, he stated he felt nothing due to the altitude, while cruziero were complaining about it. He's from santa cruz too so technically the altitude should have 'effected' him too.


Ok then, im pretty sure it was Flamengo in the 07' CL then.

3800mts? I think in potosi? La Paz is 3600. Potosi is higher.

Truth. I see them getting their ass whopped.

Truthfully, Bolivar should be there with their squad they have now which IMO is 'the strongest' (<------yet they suck right now ) in bolivia right now.

 

Re: Copa Libertadores 2009

only big team in SA is Boca.... thats it no other team here is consistent.... and gasp.... maybe Chivas they usually get far when they are in these tournies and crap colombian teams like Cucuta, Once Caldas and this year watch out for Boyaca Chico

 

Re: Copa Libertadores 2009

Chivas, are you kidding me? First of all, their not even a South American team and 2nd, Sao Paulo is a big team in SA... if anything as big, if not bigger then Boca. And defenently much bigger then Chivas.

 

It is the highest altitude! The Brasilian players will need Oxygen masks...
this is from wikipedia:

Potosí is a city, the capital of the department of Potosí in Bolivia. It is claimed to be the highest city in the world at a nominal 4,090 m (13,420 feet).[1] It lies beneath the Cerro de Potosí — sometimes referred to as the Cerro Rico ("rich mountain") — a mountain popularly conceived of as being "made of" silver ore, which has always dominated the city. Cerro de Potosí's peak is 4,824 meters (15,827 feet) above sea level.

Re: Copa Libertadores 2009

i will cry, after read this post

 

And people think Quito is high .. LMAO .. what is Quito like 2,700? but G_damn.. 4,090! is it even legal? Do you jump higher there as well lol ?? oh well

 

xD xD xD
supuestameante la regla esque en la altura la bola anda mucho mas rapido... this will be interesting

 

mas el dolor de cabeza- que te hace tomar decisones raras - narcosis
ganas de vomitar y mucho dolor en la punta de los wevos!

 

Bogota, Quito, y si, hasta Cusco parecen playas comparadas a esta ciudad.. yo no tenia idea que era tan elevada.

 

I personally think the effects arent that serious, and if anything with their poor form and not even close to a million salary total i dont see why teams should care. Potosi is a poor team. They are lucky to make it as far to even the libertadores. Brasilian teams need to chill out and realize what kind of tema they are playing. Whine aobut the more rich teams in bolivia(Which still only have like a 1.5 million salary total) to then worry about.

Personally the effects of altitude is IMO comparable to the heat and humidity found in brasil, causes you not to be able to intake as much clearer air, resulting in similar effects which many brasilian teams claim.
