I'm seriously wondering how to make sense of America's play in this tournament as opposed to their lack of play en la Clausura... it doesn't make sense.

 

Dude I don't understand whats Conmebol infatuation with refs from the the european blooded parts of south america this late of stage of the tournament why don't they use Bolivian refs or Venezuelan refs. It always either Argie or Uraguayan refs this late of the tournament I guess well have to see if these Uraguayan refs are as bad as they sound!

 

Mentality probably. I think football is won in a lot of ways by who has the momentum on their side. If you score you are sky high but the other team also tries harder because they want to tie it up. Its a contest of wills and who wants it more.

Thats aside from pure skill of course. Also America had nothing left but this tournament. When its the last thing you have you hold on hard.

 

Any links to the game?

don't worry martin vasquez(arbitro) is cool w/ german villa!

 

Specially without Dominguez who is the only one that actually defends on the team, ********ing gringo Castro don't know how to play as a full back from what I saw tonite.

 

I am going to go ahead and have faith in America like i have in the last 3 games...

.. America has been solid as visitante in this last few games when needed..

..

 

Another great game by Ochoa.

The goal against America was all Inigo who gave the player too much time.
