Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal, 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Their defense has been suspect in the tournament and Gama might be out for this match, I'm liking our chances right now.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

without carmona (the captain), and our latest display against austria..i have a very bad feeling about the outcome of this next game. hopefully they rise above and we make it to the quarters

Tickets purchased for this game. Driving to Edmonton.

Midfield - First row. Look for signs about Valparaiso puerto principal & some SW flag/shirts/something.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Why so negative?

Portugal lost against Gambia, and lost Gama.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

portugal is a very good team though...brazil beats more people than mexico, but mexico beats brazil...doesnt mean mexico is better...see where im going with this?

the reason i am negative is because i am just so used to being let down after having all my hopes put into championships and cups that i try not to get too worked up (i was a mess after colo colo lost in the final of copa sudamericana to pachuca after going 1-1 at pachuca's stadium. i was so excited and watching the game at home ready to celebrate colo colo's first copa sudamericana cup, but we lost 2-1 at home...such a terrible day for me. and then we didn't go as far as i hoped this year in copa libertadores.....as well as many defeats in our history).

its not that im negative, i get excited for chile to win every time..

VAMOS CHILE!!!

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

To be honest with you the brazil mexico thing dosent really make sense to me. Aside from the fact that both portugal and brazil speak the same language, there arent many similarities.

The portugal squad is not better than the Chilean one. We have to get this loser defeatist menatilty out of our heads before we actually start winning things. We have to be confident and proud of our team, we can always win the game.

Every team is different, using past tournaments to judge new teams is not fair to anyone.

Did you really expect colo colo to do anything without mati fernandez in the libertadores?

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Winable game...if we beat these guys we can make it at least to the semis were we would meet Argentina or Mexico.

You can't use the Austria game as an example because both teams were happy with the draw and both teams moved players around.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Chile shouldn't have much of a problem beating this 2nd string Portuguese side, aside from a few players!!! Most of the players that should have been at this tourney representing Portugal were at the U-21 European Championships, 2 weeks prior to the begining of the U-20 WC!!!
With all that being said i'm predicting a Chile victory(3-1)!!!

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Chile quiere seguir ante Portugal su camino hacia el título en Sub 20.

Sulantay podría cambiar a delantero y se descarta desgarro del capitán.

I hope so man...but I don't think it will be that easy...

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

They lost against a 10-man Gambia.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Ojalá tanto viaje Toronto-Edmonton-Toronto-Edmonton no afecte a la Rojita.


Y si gana es toronto-edmonton-toronto-edmonton-montreal

La FIFA tiene que hacer algo !

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Si Chile gana, viaja a montreal y los kilometros van a ser 13.049.
Si pierde los kilometros total son 10.866.

Japon solo ha viajado desde su hotel ha el estadio.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Y ahorra, Japon viaja para su casa.
I guess it did not make much of a difference in this case. I just hope Chile is not using this as "insurance" for later on, to have as an excuse, in case they lose.

It should be a great game. Any team can win on any given day and that is why they play the game.

- I like the idea of starting Grondona from the opening whistle. I just hope he has the stamina to go deep into the 2nd half. Nico can always find the net (mind you he can miss quite often also), but he never really added much on the creativity side. He would just be the receiver, instead of the play-maker.
- I hope Sanchez steps-up. He has only played one game so far and I feel he is relying on his name too much. He really needs to show-up today and cuidado with getting cards. He is making news off-the-field, it's time he makes news on the field.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Sanchez relying on his name?

What are you talking about?

He was without a doubt the best player on the field against congo.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

No argument that he was the best player. If you see the Congo thread, I posted he looked really good already in the 1st half (before he even scored).

But he missed the other 2 games, why ?? Because of yellow cards ...

I guess I should rephrase. I hope he steps up like he did in the Congo game.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

You realize that sanchez hasnt been able to finish his last two practices because of back pains?

There is a little more to it than yellow cards.

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

1-0 Chile at half thanks to Vidal. Where is everyone?

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

you will smash us by many more.

The most shameful youth squad ive seen in years from portugal..half our players cant even control the ball properly. Then again whats to be expected when we send reserve players from our second division B and keeping all our good players in the european tournements...such an embaressment here in canada.

Feel sorry for antunes, he doesnt deserve to play with such horrible players.

Vigenoddsy( spl) vidal, sanchez, medina are good players.

Suprised chile hasnt Qf for more world cups, they always have talented teams.

Hopefully we won play so defensive in the second and atleast score a goal..will be more entertaining and you guys will run rampid on the councter attack

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Presente!

I'm a bit worried about Sanchez, I hope he gets better...we need to turn our posetion into goals...the guys are missing too much chances in the final third...

 

Re: Mundial Sub20: vs. Portugal 12 julio (R) (News, etc...)

Qualifying in S.America is harder than people think, there are no easy teams down here, teams grow bigtime at home soil and all teams have at least one player that is a match winner. Also there are those little things called Brazil and Argentina...
