Copa America: Discusion Oficial (R) (News, etc...)

...oh well, rickker is right, let's not go to Copa America anymore shall we? In fact...let's stop playing football...why bother? Hey, maybe abolish any competitive sport while we are at it...you are a genius rickker.

 

You guys do not want to admit that chilean futbol is not that good. Ok belive what you want but Im not expecting anything great to happen at this cup. Many times this guys have let me down.

To many problems players quiting the team Pizzaro for example and others. Players fighting between each other same thing all the time.

I wish them luck but I would be suprise if we are out in the first round.

 

Actually you are wrong. MOST of use have admitted that the state of Chilean futbol is not that good, but that doesnt mean we should just give up in every competition and loose hope.

 

There can always be a 1st ...

I think the problem is "we" the fans are passionate and very emotional about the game, but unfortunately our national team has never really been able to live upto the hype (they almost did it in '98). So when there is too much hype and the team doesn't provide results, there are too many letdowns, excuses, finger-pointing going on. The team needs to focus on making news "ON" the field as opposed to "OFF" the field.
If I interpret the message correctly, Rickker20 is just pointing out that he is expecting the same here. All hype, but no results, as has been the case for many years now.

Although that is a fact, I do not necessarily think it needs to prevent us from dreaming that one day our team will give us what we all so dearly want ... a championship and to say "we are the champions ..."

At the very least, we can enjoy this Copa America run, and comment on the team's performance, which is really what the forums are all about.

 

This is a very good point and I enjoy dreaming, the problem is that the more I know about the world soccer landscape the more I realize the dream is just smoke and mirrors made up by the Chilean press hype.

I've been in the Nacional many times and my dreams shattered many many times. I've done crazy things to keep up with the team and dreaming is not enough for me, I want long term change and I want it now; regardless of the cost.

 

This is exactly how I feel Im tired of dreaming about wining something lets make it real and finally win.

 

See, saying that is much better than just saying "We suck, we will loose 2-0 to acuador"

 

we are playing like shit same thing like always taking our time bad passes. I expect Ecuador's goal soon I hope Im wrong but history always repeats itself.

 

Goal by Ecuador history repeats itself again.

 

Its a miracle from god that we won this game.

 

history says that Chile ALWAYS beat Ecuador in Copa América

 

Agreed, more food for the Chilean press hype.

Uds. prefieren que Chile pierda pa callar a la prensa?!

 

********ing brilliant match, good to get a win without playing your best
i thought Suazo was awesome

hopefully Acosta can sort out the left side of defense because Gonzalez doesn't work well there

off to drink some pisco

 

Tranquilo socio. Nadie ha dicho eso. Nadie pretende callar la prensa, solo que se dejen de crear castillos en el aire.. No te calientes tanto.

Tomate un armonil. Ganamos y hay que estar felices.

 

I like your sig, Pablinski.

Anyway, I doubt the press or the fans have been clouded by this victory, I think everyone knows our team played horrible. The victory was nothing short of a miracle.

 

it was a miracle from god that we won the game. Brazil is going to kill us in the next game!!!!!!!!

 

Hmm...I don't think they will score more than 4 goals.

I predict Brazil 4-2 Chile
