Copa Libertadores 2008 game results/comments

Not a good result in my opinion, a good result would have been a tie, that would mean 1 point all around. And i still think this is going to be the toughest group. So far however, Colo Colo has played the worst.. I'm sure they will pick it up at home.

 

No they won't.

I told you punks not to put your money on Colo-Colo. The Colo-Colo bubble has burst, they lost all their good players: Vidal, Valdivia, Alexis, Suazo, Matias and recently Giovanni. Only the rubbish ones are left (I am talking to you Fierro and Rubio!) perhaps Riffo is the only decent one left.

I think Catolica is the strongest Chilean team out there (I can't believe I said that.)

 

The Chilean teams seem pretty weak this time around.

 

They're tied for 1st in Chile (alongside U. de Chile and U. Catolica).
Neither one of the 3 has been very impressive, and point-wise Colo Colo may not be struggling but I am sure you saw the game yesterday and the team looked pretty bad (being generous).
I would be shocked--I repeat shocked--if Colo Colo make it to 2nd round.
Our only hope (Chilean hope, I mean) is U. Catolica who at various times outplayed America and were rather unfortunate to lose (though credit is due to America for winning).

1. From San Lorenzo.

2. The problem with Salcedo is that he was signed to fill in for Melendez as a DM, but as he's lefty and Cereceda and Sagredo were not available (NT commitments) he's been filling in for them. That's not his ideal position. What a waste of US$2 mill. (CC has all this money most South American team dream of one having yet they're not able to spend it correctly).

I am almost 100% the last team he played for is San Lorenzo.
Salcedo came from Racing Club, though.

Well his transfer pass came from San Lorenzo.
And as he never got any PT at Racing, my last recollection of him was with the Cuervo team.

Where are the commentators from?

I am Mexican and I will the first to admit that the Mexican commentators in FoxSports are the worst ever, I like Jorge Ramos in that channel, whether you like him or not, he puts a lot of feeling to the goals regardless of what country the team that score is from. you don't have to agree, it's just my opinion

Congratulations to the mexican zorros, from a chilean zorro

What a mistake Riffo!!
Colocolo hace más de 10 años que no hace una Libertadores aceptable. Se mantiene la costumbre nomás.

I agree.

El relator es argentino.

 

I hope Flamengo goes far, I'll be cheering for them after meu querido SPFC of course.

Obina, melhor que o Eto'o

 

What a horrible week for Chilean teams. I see none of them getting past the groups phase.

Also, it seems Borgui will never learn how to play against Mexican teams. Can't remember the last time Colo Colo didn't come back with a sack full of goals from Mexico.
