Many surprises. Terrible round 7 for me... Hope round 8 is nicer to me... Round 8 (9/6) Chile 3-1 Bolivia Brazil 1-0 Colombia Venezuela 0-2 Argentina Peru 1-1 Ecuador Uruguay 1-0 Paraguay
Round 8 Chile 2 Bolivia 0 Brazil 1 Colombia 1 Venezuela 1 Argentina 1 Peru 2 Ecuador 1 Uruguay 1 Paraguay 0
.. since when does Messi defend? Why would Venezuela score a goal all of a sudden, now that Messi is gone? Messi is not a Defender.. If Argentina was missing their Key Defenders, then I could see Venezuela scoring goals.. but Messi has nothing to do with Argentina's defense
? Are you new to football? Not having to worry about defending with extra men, means certain midfielders and/or fullbacks will get the chance to move forward a bit more, which in turn might generate chances. Not sure why I have to explain this, it's pretty obvious.
You make a good point, but not all teams are Scared to attack Argentina with Messi on the field.. if i was a coach and i knew my team was playing against Messi, i still wouldn't change my line up to a defensive one.. Also im tired of people saying Argentina is only good with Messi on the field
Who says that? I certainly didn't. In fact they beat us without Messi in the group stages of Copa America. Then lost the final with Messi on the pitch.
Round 8 (9/6) Chile 2 - Bolivia 1 Brazil 2 - Colombia 1 Venezuela 1- Argentina 3 Peru 2- Ecuador 1 Uruguay 1Paraguay 1
I had some good scores, but Argentina, Chile made some surprises. 12 points for these two rounds. The winner needs 14,15 points.
Turns out I was too conservative with my prediction should have gone with the 2-2 I originally considered.
In October, we will have hard matches Paraguay - Colombia Ecuador - Chile Colombia - Uruguay Bolivia - Ecuador Other matches seem easier to figure out. Seven teams will decide about the World Cup participants, only five places. Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela left behind so far. Ecuador is a big surprise. They are always unpleasant to meet with. Caicedo could get some penalties to score as before. Hosts don't lose points so easy.
