Copa Libertadores 2013 (1/4 finals discussion) [R]

I do. No matter what happens, They are not South Americans. Never will be. You think there are little kids playing futbol in the streets of mexico dreaming about winning the Copa Libertadores? HELL NO! Never happen. How could you be proud of something when you are a mere invitee. An outsider. They have absolutely nothing to do with our tournaments. Look at their history! They are too stupid to come up with anything decent when it comes to a Futbol tournament. Why do you think they always belittle our tournaments? Like they have a better one? Copa Sudamericana is doing great without them and even increased the amount of teams and money. The Copa Libertadores should do the same.

 

You should out him on the Mexi-Spazzo wall of shame.

 

lines from BetUS
Atletico Mineiro +100
Santa Fe +300
Newell's +350
Olimpia +400

I'm pulling for Santa Fe ever since that incredible goal knocked out Gremio but I think the odds for them are too low. beating an unimpressive Gremio and a defensively woeful Garcilaso (who were just a brilliant story) isn't enough to make them favorites over Olimpia I don't think. I'd take Olimpia to progress and Mineiro as well but think they were a bit too casual in defense vs Xolos last round. Newell's played poorly vs Boca but I think Scocco will score at least once

 

I think Sante Fe and Olimpia are pretty even.

Historically though Colombian teams usually match up well with Paraguayan teams.
Also Olimpia was pretty fortunate to defeat Flu in the last round. They got a crazy free kick goal and a controversial penalty.

 

I like Newell's' odds. Might have to take a piece of that action.
