Marquez will stomp some southies for sure. Looking forward to it. Too bad he didn't get Dinho's Mineiro in the group. Any chance they could meet if Leon advance?
Mineiro is not very good. Not impressive against Cholos last year, and not impressive against that Moroccan team in the Club WC.
Jeff Montero hasn't been playing to his potential these last couple of games. Hopefully he shows up tomorrow. Him and Aldo Leao.
Surpriesed theres no Boca Juniors, Corinthians and all those familiar faces you see in Libertadores. The other 2 teams in the first stage are Lanus from Argentina and U. de Chile.
IIRC the Copa Libertadores knockout-round bracket is set up based on ranking (1-8 for the group winners, 9-16 for the runners-up); so there's every chance they could run into each other in the Round of 16.
