Hey remember he did play English futbol so he is still a person a defender has to mark and his headers are just as dangerous as Rojas kicks

Jared Borgetti did not PLAY english football. He SAT and watched other play like you and me.

Mosco · Sep 24, 2006

He scored in the uefa cups when it counted for Bolton it's just Sam had a different system that Borgetti wasn't used too.

elvasco · Sep 24, 2006

It wasn't that, Sam Allardyce is a crock, so the players probably have to pay him to play, and since borgetti's english is limited he probably didn't understood him.........

Allardyce;Jared you are yet to gimme my money, I take checks you know

Borgetti; yeah I already got my check boss

Allardyce; no I don't give a ******** about your check, I want mine, I want my money so you can play, no pay no play!

Borgetti; GUAT?

Allardyce; Money, dinero!!!!

Borgetti;GUAT?

Allardyce; Just warm the bench, do you understand that? BENCH!

Borgetti;

Draw would definitely be in January-February instead of November-December. Also seems like they're set with the 12 team format and the rumors of 16 teams were just rumors (thank god). The 10 nations, Mexico and an invitation will be sent to the US. It's mentioned in the article.

Postergado sorteo de Copa América para enero o febrero de 2007

(Caracas) (EFE) El presidente de la Federación Venezolana de Fútbol (FVF), Rafael Esquivel, anunció que el sorteo para definir los grupos de la Copa América 2007 en Venezuela, fue postergado para enero o febrero del próximo año.

Según un comunicado de prensa de la Federación local, en una reunión sostenida entre los directivos locales y de la Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CSF), se decidió postergar la fecha del sorteo, que en principio estaba programada para noviembre próximo.

Well, Chavez should be able to help us with that
He'll make the americans want to go to Venezuela and kick our a..

MoRado · Oct 10, 2006

C'mon venezuelans... invite CR instead of the US

crzdcolombian · Oct 10, 2006

Us is a better team so they should come.. but then again Costa Rica is a latin american country. I would like Panama to come they did finish 2nd in Copa Oro...

but i heard they already invited mexico and Us

Latin Pride · Oct 11, 2006

Panama would be a good one, I would also like to see Honduras come back.. I always liked them and they had a fantastic run in 01

I also want Honduras, the last time they participated, we were champs!!!
(DALE COLOMBIA CAMPEON!!!!) but I think US and Mexico are the best in North & Central America so they need to participate. but it also time that the Copa America will return to be the great tournament that it was 20 years ago, even if it means south american teams only. it's time FOR ALL THE TEAMS, INCLUDING BRAZIL & ARGENTINA TO COME WITH THEIR STRONGEST SQUAD!!!! it's not fun to win the tournament when those two r coming with the 2nd or 3rd line squad. we need to raise up the level in this beautiful tournament like the european championship. All the europeans say that their tournament is "mini-world cup" but without Brazil & Argentina. let's show them that south american soccer is also colombia, ecuador, paraguay, chile, uruguay who can play better then most of european teams like ukraine, switzerland, austria, russia...
VIVA COPA AMERICA 2007!!!!!

Amen, lol. I agree with you totally with that statment and for some reason, I just have a feeling that Brasil and Argentina will be coming with the strongest sides. Both of the teams are going through that transitional phase where the older generation is leaving and the young ones want to secure there spot in the squad. Both had dissappointing ends in the World Cup. So what better way to boost morale then a win in this tournament. In all honesty. I see this Copa America being a lil more exciting than this summers Copa Mundial for some reason. Or it just might be the excitement of it coming up, lol.

yeah well appearantly the US feels like GOld CUp is more important and probably will decline the Offer ! GO FIGURE !!!!
Seems to me they are just trying to save their ass from another embarassment much like it happened in germany 06.

For the good and improvement of tv ratings and the Copa America itself I hope they end up taking the invitation and participate. Just IMAGINE another US / Mexico match in elimination round??? WOW that would bring out FIREWORKS !!!!!
