Certain managers tend to only agree to terms to manage a team if there is a serious project in place, preferably one with some potential or...
Maybe there was just some confusion before the free kick with so much at stake. We may never know. I actually don't mind that Peru is in the WC....
We are dead if we park the bus. What I liked about Sampaoli's time in charge was that Chile could essentially lock its opponent in place with very...
After wins against Chile and Colombia, I imagine that Paraguayans would deem it unforgivable if their team can't defeat Venezuela.
Argentina's shooting was off against Peru. Having said that, Quiroz played the game of his life. I'd say that Argentina has a decent chance of...
At this stage, Paraguay's form and Chile's record in Brazil both suggest that Venezuela and Chile are likely to lose. Having said that, I think...
The game versus Brazil can be drawn or won (stranger things have happened), but the players have to play like they did in Barranquilla against...
For me, there are three problems; not one. All three, in some way and to some degree, deal with complacency. The first one has been mentioned....
Out: Marcelo Díaz (thanks for the memories; the good ones, at least), Vargas, Castillo and Bravo. Paulo Díaz, Paredes, Orellana, Toselli or...
I guess age is a factor, but I think that it has more to do with exhaustion. WC 14, CA 15 and 16, plus qualifiers for the last two world cups and...
Enjoy the moment. No one seems to care about Peru. For what it's worth, I'd like to see you guys in the world cup. Paolo Guerrero should go out in...
Not me. It is impossible to defend a senior player after too many mistakes. But, Díaz is just a symptom of the disease. The reality is that Chile...
Pienso que muchos de la generación más vieja (28 años +) en general, por supuesto, no serían los culpables si Chile no logra clasificar. La...
Does anyone want to update this list? I imagine that it's hard to get excited about moves like Gary Medel to Besiktas and Marcelo Díaz to Pumas.
Yes, but I didn't include Sagal as he had only signed for Pachuca in the lead-up to the Confederations Cup.
Which average are you referring to exactly when you state that the Brazilian league, on average, is not the highest paying league (in terms of...
I just realised that three of Chile's six registered forwards for the last Confederations Cup play in Mexico: - Eduardo Vargas (Tigres UANL,...
You've cherry-picked here, it seems. Players will get paid, as you say, "scraps" in Brazil compared to Mexico, where even European players like...
You beat me to it. I wonder if he will succeed there, or if we are more likely to see him follow in the footsteps of Roco and Lichnovsky in Mexico.
There must be something that appeals to them. Otherwise, why go there? I'm assuming the generous salaries for overseas players is a factor;...
Edson Puch es elegido como el mejor volante ofensivo de la liga mexicana...
Prensa mexicana asegura que Gary Medel será compañero de Eduardo Vargas...
That is the same thing that gets me the most. I'd also say that, when we attack in numbers, the player most likely to score for us if and when he...
My viewpoint is that football, especially in finals, is a game of momentum. The balance of play shifts. With the momentum firmly in our favour,...
The worst thing that could happen to Pizzi is if he turns into a conformist. This team will not be the same one in a year from now. Injuries,...
