When Danillo came in he made a bad pass to Bruno and he was like ''WTF?'' look...right at him. He seems more mature this time around, I hope it works
atlas is in the next round! i just hope they get someone to replace mendivil ... its hit and miss with that guy... his goals to miss ratio is like 1:25
Too bad guys ,the coach confirmed on a interview right after the colo colo game that this team is going to play with this squad from now till they get bounced out..... Copa Santander Libertadores Round of Sixteen Matchup Club Deportivo Atlas de Guadalajara -VS- Club Atlético Lanús
Brindisi has been rotating his people since the start of the season. Everyone is equally dangerous. Danilo looked solid gainst San Luis, theyve been missing a range shooter
I think that Lanus coach is the same clown who said that Pachuca was the easiest team Lanus had faced when they played in Copa Sudamericana last year (he said that after they tied or lost to Pachuca). We all know what happened, the "easiest" team ended up winning the whole damn tournament. His stupid opinions don't matter.
So who do you think we'll play in the next round? I would like to see Boca go home via disqualification.
amazing gol Lanus has to score twice now. Cruzeiro will turn it around at home Boca plays off thier name and history, and Brasileiros dont take their crap
So its going to be Atlas vs Cruzeiro...going to be tough. I wish we would have Boca with the ban and all, but Cruzeiro will do. Anybody else think that Jorge Hernandez kid is garbage? All he ever does is get yellow carded for stupid shit or pick fights.
Well he has been playing bad as of late but over all he is a really good player with a future. I have faith that he'll come around that and show his true talent. He was playing an akward position last night he usually plays D-Mid so that could be it. Still playing below his level at this moment though. Close game last night but what ever team comes next lets take every game 1 at a time.
i don't remember the last time a brazilian team eliminated boca jrs from the libertadores. that includes a 5-0 win over gremio in the 07 final, and a 5-1 win over santos in the 03 final. they beat world champions internacional in the sudamericana twice the two years they were banned from libertadores, and during one of those years beat Sao Paulo in the Recopa. while i'm no boca fan, it's hard to say they pay off with their name when you have a recent history like this: 07 - copa libertadores champion 06 - recopa champion 05 - sudamericana champion/recopa champion 04 - libertadores runner up/sudamericana champion 03 - libertadores champion 01- libertadores champion 00 - libertadores champion
If you get intimidated by them, its your thing. They dont play a great game, they often resemble the nads style of play. Big teams dont play that ugly. The refs are very lenient when they play in their candy box. and having a 23 player team allows you to play 2 tourneys Back to topic Hernadez sucks, last saturday he did alright, but last night he was late on every play. Brindisi was saving Valdez because he doesnt want him to get a yellow, but he did anyways, so it looks like he'll be playing against Necaxa
not intimidation, respect. they won 2-1 in brazil, winning 4-2 in agg. Atlas vs Boca Jrs in the quaterfinals. should be good games.
how is el negro medina playing as of now? ive seen his goal against colo colo and his gol off the corner it seems as if hes playing like a crack do you guys think he deserves a call up to the tri?
He has always played well, its the team that works well together and has really played well as a whole. He does have his bad games though. Him and Robles are above the rest of the nationals and imo have earned a cap
Atlas looking to get back Lucas barrios http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=678489&s=copalib&type=story
Great result today for Atlas in their 2-2 tie with boca, Despite being down in the second half and boca pressuring they fought and earned and good result, Gotta give it up to Jorge bava who had a great game
The whole backline kept an amazing order and the pressing was amazing. Negro had one of his best games ever. Robles came off injured, but he should recover in time. The way the whole team understanded the goal and worked for it is inspiring. They finally have a week to work, which could be an advantage.
i cant wait for the match in guadalajara, im hoping for a repeat of the group stage result ... thatll shut up that piece of crap riquelme ...
Riquelme is a piece of overrated crap, thats why he would rather play over here than fight it out in Europe. A la Landon lol (tampoco but close ).
That is what I am saying! But don't go say that in the Copa Libertadores Thread because all the Boca fans come out and Copy and Paste everything they can find on Wikipedia on that hot garbage (Riquelme) and his mediocre accomplishments. Atlas either 1-1 or 2-1 in Guadalajara!
