Copa Libertadores 2008 game results/comments

When Lucena jumped he was perpendicular to the Brazilian's player's back. When they both jump for the ball the impact pins his arm against the attacker's back. So there was no way Lucena could have avoided bringing down his arm in the dispute for the ball. What makes it worst is that the incompetent ref is no where near the action. You want to call it a penalty? I guess, I rather call them one sided penalty.

 

I agree, no bias: the PK looked legit to me, personally.

is it true Flamengo will boycott playing in Peru against Cienciano??
and that they will get a huge penalty for it (being kicked out of CONMENBOL competitions for 5 years)???

 

...you mean 'was' not an easy feat. I'd be surprised if Boca don't come out on top 3-1 or something. Colo-Colo have no Mati/Valdivia/Suazo/Vidal/Giovanni to save them now...it's almost not fair how the team was stripped apart...a small part of me feels for the indians.........................but its a very small part.

 

lol looks like the taste of Libertad's flavor of the month is ending, from going to the semis to not even making out of a group that they could have gone out of.

Cerro is another one that has gone downhill and Olimpia has been solid in the apertura, looks like it could be our time to shine again.

 

Group 2

Estudiantes LP: 2-1-1 (4/2, +2) 7
CA Lanús: 1-3-0 (4/2, +2) 6

Danubio: 0-1-3 (2/7, -5) 1

 

I can't ********ing believe FSE is showing Saprissa/Atlante insted of Colo-Colo/Boca.

Colo-Boca airing at midnight (9 PM on the West Coast).

 

Interesting...Colo-Colo scores in minute 3' we might have a competitive match here gentlemen...I don't want to get my hopes up this early in the match though.

 

2-0 now, and Morel Rodriguez has been sent off.

as well as Barrios for Colo-Colo...this match is fun...

 

Penalty that never was! This match has a bit of everything...and CAGON Fierroo misses it... GREAT MATCH! (I cant believe Bielsa keeps calling that cagon for the Chilean NT......Borghi has to make a change now...Fierro needs new dipers.

 

Group 3
Colo Colo 2 - 0 Boca Juniors

Atlas: 2-0-1 (6/3, +3) 6
Colo Colo: 2-0-1 (5/4, +1) 6
Boca Juniors: 1-1-1 (4/3, +1) 4
UA Maracaibo: 0-1-2 (2/7, -5) 1

 

i still prefer Fierro over "bosta" bieler any day.

 

So, so far we have Libertad and Danubio out? Can't really blame them they were in complicated groups, Cuenca displayed to be a good rival, and Group 8 resulted to be really complicated, although Fluminense is dominates there, probably they are looking better than Cruzeiro now. I was expecting more from Libertad, but also from São Paulo they don't look that impressive. Didn't see the match between Cuenca and Lanús so i can't say much about it.

Interesting match yesterday between Colo Colo and Boca very entertaining maybe not for Boca, because they were very unlucky they couldn't do anything right, in top of that Riquelme injured, but Colo Colo played well and could get the 3 points, that group is gonna be interesting too.

Regarding that fake penalty call, it was clearly outside the box, but was it a foul even?

 

¡Forza Audax!

Ojalá sigan sumando, creo que siguen complicados, pero espero mucho más de ese equipo en este grupo.

En cuanto al resultado del partido entre ColoColo y Boca Juniors, SORPRENDENTE por decir lo menos, ya que debe ser uno de los ColoColo más débiles que he visto en mi vida. Esperaba más de Boca.
