I didn’t see any games on Fanatiz. If I’m not mistaken I think Telemundo was streaming Argentinian and Brazilian games.
Beccacece should have called up two RBs. I’m guessing he’s going to go with a back line of 4 against Brazil with Arreaga playing RB.
I typically use this website to track down who is streaming what. It's amazing because its pretty much a summary of every FIFA match in the world: https://www.livesoccertv.com/schedules/2024-09-06/
This is one of those scorelines similar to the last WCQ cycle that just really works nicely for us... Now the seleccion needs to come in and pick up some points.
They might as well have been playing in the clouds. I did not know they took them out of La Paz. Almost 2k higher than La Paz, holy crap. Venezuela looked winded 15 minutes into the game. We are very lucky we already played them and got a result. And gentlemen, this was the stretch of games we got 0 pts from last time around. We are meeting the worst Brazil and Peru in recent memory, while Ecuador is coming off a conservative coach with some mild results. But pound for pound this is one of the best defenses I think we have had in our history. I'd be ecstatic with 4 points, and happy enough with 3.

You can make the argument Minda should be starting for the NT. He’s the best player we have coming off the bench. Mercado, Angulo, and A. Valencia are talented but they’re still untested.
Argentina's high press and quick pivot is also unreal. That team is constantly defending in their own box, and 2 passes after they're scoring a goal. A ton of chemistry on their side They looked just as good without Messi
Spot on re: the defense. With a good concentracion and a sound tactical footing, stealing a point in Brazil is a very achievable outcome. It's always a tall order to perform well in Brazil, but we're also not playing in the Maracana, which is a fortress for the selecao (except for 2014 vs. Germany).
Brazil v Germany in 2014 was played at the Mineirao. BTW since 2014 Brazil has lost twice at home and both times at Maracana.
How many players do we have out so far ? Christian Ramirez Angelo Preciado Alan Minda Jeremy Sarmiento I saw a comment saying Yeboa is also out ?
stomach problems from something he ate apparently. Yeboah I have no clue and have yet to see a reliable source.
Any good drinks or snacks for this game? Making a store run soon. I’m in the northeast and watching it in the yard so personally going to make some canelazo tonight as temps will drop close to 60.
