COPA LIBERTADORES 2009-grp stage (r)

Colo Colo played a better game, but failed to capitalize on the chances to score. Thankfully, Sport did score on their few chances and I am glad the refs made the right call on the first goal. This was an important start and hopefully we can beat LDU at home come April.

 

Congrats to Sport Recife on 3 points won rightfully.

 

manana juega la U..... vamos san lorenzo!

 

Ah vaina el DIM empato en Morumbi!? que bien!

 

pero q va se dejaron empatar al ultimo minuto

 

^ Se dejaron empatar? Aguanta hermano, se podria decir eso si DIM, hubiera planteado un partido ofensivo. Pero el gol del DIM fue de contra golpe ya que Sao Paulo, los tenia contra su valla.
Un merecido empate? Ummm no lo se, talvez no. DIM hizo muy poco para merecer un empate, eh incluso llego 3 veces en la porteria de SPFC en el segundo tiempo. Ahora Bobadilla tapo de todo, y yo ya estaba gritando el gol de SPFC cuando Bobadilla salio tan estupidamente de su valla.

Colo Colo, como lo vuelvo a repetir ni va a pasar a octavos de final y ni va a campeonar en el campeonato Chileno.

El de Nacional con Nacional, me quede dormido.

Hoy juega la "U"- San lorenzo, mi pronostico un amargo empate o una victoria de San Lorenzo. Espero me equivoque, pero la "U" esta hasta las webas.

Hoy gana la Fiorentina y Cruzeiro.

 

Very frustrating game, but in the end I knew Sao Paulo would pull through, this game reminded me of the Luqueno game last time around.

SPFC is just like Brasil, slow in the group stages but kicks it up in the knockout stages.

PS: Congrats Sport Recife on an upset.

 

Probably one of the most boring games I had seen so far, and up until Cruzeiro's (questionable) PK, Estudiantes had looked better (then again, Cruzeiro hadn't done much).

3-0 now: it's a wrap.

 

In the 2009 Libertadores' first Brazil vs. Argentina matchup, Brazilian soccer prevails.

I did see the 2nd half and Estudantes da Prata was holding its own - but after that 1st goal it was a total meltdown. They better pick up their composure if they want to go far in this tournament.

How far has Estudantes' roster changed from the roster that faced Internacional?

Kleber's performance may make some Palmeiras fans miss him - all the more since the pressure is on Palmeiras right now.

Universitario 1, Sao Lourenco 0: that Argentine dude was pretty shameless in pushing the guy on the breakaway; deserved ejection. And Solano looks older than all his teammates combined.

 

Yep - SPFC does start slow sometimes. It's only the 1st game and it's a LONG competition.

So Palmeiras, SPFC, Sport, and Cruzeiro have had their debuts. When is Gremio playing?

 

Sorprendente lo de Universitario, aunque jugo bien.
La clase de Solano aun no se pierde: aun sabe mucho con el balon, aunque debio haber sido expulsado.

 

Nao tem mais nenhum time do Rio???
Que horrivel!
Talvez no ano que vem...

 

There is nothing dishonorable about losing to Sport. They're 11-0-1 so far this season (though the Pernambucano is nothing to write home about).

 

I don't think he meant in such a way (as to discredit Sport). However, Colo Colo was widely considered the clear favorite, at least on paper (though that didn't mean much as they got clearly outplayed by the Brazilians).

Cheers!

 

Yea, I believe the favorite to win the match was Colo Colo, but you can expect that a brazilian team can "Pintarte la cara en cualquier momento".
En cuanto a los equipos Colombianos siempre les da buena lucha a los equipos Brasileiros en Brasil.

Ojala le pille algun pronostico esta vez.

 

Don't get me wrong, I am just glad that Sport are even in the competition and have rather low expectations for Sport in this tournament--not because they are worse than the other teams, but because of the group they fell into. Yet, we have done well as a dark horse in the past year, so maybe that will result in some more nice surprises. Getting past the group stage at this point would make me more than satisfied.

 

It's a little bit of both.....Recife is a Brasilian team and they will be always tough. And Colo Colo is a Chilean team.....no disrespect but kinda easy really
