too bad he was non-existant in that QF match when it mattered. We all adore James but there are times where we know he can do more. Personally, I feel our DFM Barrios and Duvan were more of the game changers for this Copa. But it's marketing 101so I get why he gets to lift the trophy. I mean GJesus had an amazing Copa despite his red card.
In all honesty, 8 of them were from Brasil, so if you remove those two games, the other 4 were rather good in defense.
Haha that’s like I haven’t slept with a lot of women if you don’t include college and the years between getting married just include 0-14 and when I met my wife
Un jugador suplente en su club, que le buscan salida cada 6 meses..........que es irregular en su seleccion.......no gracias.........y fue parte de la peor defensa del torneo.............despues son los mismo que piden la salida de cardona de la seleccion..... mejor fabra y tesillo honestamente.
In tune with what pepino just mentioned, it's very difficult to draw significant conclusions from a tournament where only 2 teams get to play all 6 games and where their defense has been one of their main weak points. I mean other than the mind blunder vs Brazil, Gallese had many great saves. In the same note, I liked what I saw with Tesillo and even some stuff from Medina but I wouldn't say anyone blew my mind. Potential yes, but want to see lots more games with some of these same players to make a call.
While I agree with you, I just wanted to note Pepino's point about Flamengo. They've been very unfair to Trauco. He had a great 2017 season even when Rueda was there, but then all of the sudden he found himself out of favour. Nobody knows what happened or why. This tournament proved to me that Trauco needed game time. His first 2 games were terrible but after he was our best player besides Paolo.
is he moving??? he was close to argentina and mexico some months ago........ do you have faith for the next wcq??? or a little worry??? i thought that after world cup som of peruvians will have a better proyection in their carreers.
Trauco is going somewhere, and he needs to leave for his own good. He's a talented player and he showed in this Copa he needs playing time to get performances going. As for our next WCQ campaign, I just don't know what to expect. In the last qualifiers I knew Peru would put in a good performance always, but we've been rather inconsistent at least when it comes to putting in a show. Gareca needs to gel in new players. We always talk about Chile's old generation but we are not that much younger. Hopefully for the Copa 2020 some new players are shoehorned in.
Tapia thought he was the new Godfather but there will only be 1 Grondona. ....from futbolred: Conmebol le cobra a Argentina: primer sancionado y temor por Messi Conmebol le cobra a Argentina: primer sancionado y temor por Messi La polémica de la Copa América empezó a cobrar víctimas y la Confederación inició por lo más alto. Partiendo de esto, Conmebol tomó la siguiente decisión y la hizo pública a través de un comunicado: “En consecuencia, ante la gravedad de las expresiones vertidas públicamente por el Sr. Tapia, considerando la investidura de su cargo y luego de haberlo escuchado en la presente reunión convocada a su requerimiento, en ejercicio de sus atribuciones estatutarias, el Consejo de la CONMEBOL ha resuelto: 1. RETIRAR con efecto inmediato, la confianza al Sr. Claudio Tapia para ejercer la representación interina de la CONMEBOL ante el Consejo de la FIFA. 2. CONVOCAR a elección del Representante de la CONMEBOL ante el Consejo de la FIFA conforme a los reglamentos aplicables. 3. REMITIR todos los antecedentes, inclusive el acta de la presente reunión a la comisión de Ética, para que el Señor Claudio Tapia presente los antecedentes en que basa la carta de fecha 3 de julio de 2019”. Partiendo de esto y de la dureza de la sanción, en Argentina temen por cuál pueda ser el castigo que reciba Lionel Messi, quien en las últimas horas habría enviado un comunicado pidiendo perdón por lo ocurrido, pero cuyas palabras también fueron bastante duras y tomaron trascendencia en medio y luego del certamen.
