Oh, so the final in 2019, held in Peru, was a favor to the Peruvian federation? I guess Estuardo A. Lopez had a point concerning your compatriots believing in conspiracy theories. Some of you believed numerology indicated your team would beat us in the semifinals last year. Thankfully, Alejandro Fantino's superstitious beliefs failed. Congrats on winning in La Paz after 15 years; Brazil hasn't won there in 23. Hopefully we will win there when it's our turn.
Just re-watched the game. It's incredible that so many people are crying about two legit penalties given to Brazil but very little is said, even around here, about another penalty committed against Neymar and a Richarlison goal incorrectly disallowed. On another note, I think Douglas Luiz and Danilo seemed out of their depth and Weverton should not be the starter at goalkeeper.
Santiago (original venue) was selected before the break up between AFA and Conmebol after the Copa America. Lima was picked I think one month before the final when Santiago withdrew. Only Argentinian and Brazilian teams were left at that point I think, so it would have been an scandal to pick a venue from either country at that point. The same for our hosting of next year's Copa America. I'm 200% sure Conmebol wouldn't have given that to Argentina if the decision had been taken after the Copa 2019. Lima or Santiago are "neutral" venues in any case (no team that isn't from ARG or BRA will win the Libertadores for a long time, let's be honest, surely not one from Chile or Peru, and conmebol knows that). Choosing Maracana is like telling Flamengo, "here, we want you to win another trophy". If you wanted Brazil to have the final so badly why not just pick the Mineirao or something (since Cruzeiro and CAM don't participate)? but nope...
200% sure. I guess 100% isn't enough and you know you're not 199% sure nor 201% sure. Choosing whatever stadium is like telling whatever team whatever? I guess numerology told you that. Or was it Alejandro Fantino? I guess you're still revoltado over what happened last year at Mineirao stadium...
