    Hey guys,

    Don't know if you all have seen this. But a member from the Brasil forumI believe, posted this:

    Bolivia is mentioned, because they held out for 1 million USD if they changed the venue... Yes, it's crooked... but Bolivia knew they could win. They'd only do them that favor for that amount.

    With that said, these videos make soooo much sense now!

    My response from the same thread:

    I wonder how muych he had to do with arranging Brasil to play in Santa Cruz for the Copa America 1997, essentially giving way to Brasil ending up in the Final....

    With that said, thanks for the scan! I have some videos of after the win over Brasil for the first time... all this crap that came out of his mouth against altitute and that its inhuman to play there... AFTER brasil lose for the first time... doesn't matter that they've mopped the floor with Bolivia all the time before then.
