The announcer here in Canada (The Score) just implied that Vega (Venezuela' keeper) was choking the chicken at halftime (hence why he was running back to the net with his shorts ruffled).
Martino is a disaster, takes out Valdez who was the best forward to put in an injured Santa Cruz who was then taken out for a midfielder Martinez instead of 2 capable forwards Zeballos and Perez. And then the idiot gets himself sent off (again)
Barreto is just as good, IMO. You should have seen him in the Libertadores. PS: Oh crap, they already did the three changes... brilliant idea!
Someone once said that a good attack wins games, but a good defense wins tournaments. Paraguay is about to prove that an impenetrable defense is enough to win tournaments, with virtually no attack at all. Eat your heart, Italy. We have a new King of Catenaccio.
Paraguay takes PKs like a lifetime mission. I wish they'd put the same effort into creating some kind of offensive plays for entertainment's sake. But you know what? That's also how you win shit, so props to Paraguay. Maybe we can learn from this someday. Venezuelans now know how we felt last game when the ball seems like it doesn't wanna go in. So ha-ha to them (?).
Para todo lo que hablan de respeto y progreso los venezolanos, también han copiado lo malo pero bueh...
THIS. I hope Uruguay wins, even though they can be a bit cynical when defending at times, they play some really nice attacking football to cancel it out. None of that from Paraguay.
