Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Actualy there's no need for any scenario, colo colo-america is set, since the game between toluca and cianciano is gonna take either one ahead of colo colo, or both are gonna end up with more points than colo colo if they draw....so it's colo colo people....

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

I was watching one of preview shows, or I don't remember if it was el show de la copa, in which those guys from argentina were talking about how the argentine clubs have performed in the last ten years in the copa in comparison with their brazilian counterpart, and pretty much the brazilians have been on top of the competition in the last ten years, with the exeption of those 3 years that boca juniors won it, so it really isn't that much of a surprise, they blamed it on the schedule, they said it favors the brazilian clubs........I guess they should take at our schedule.......

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

So it's set.
We're going against Culo Culo.
We can take 'em

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Damn, América-Vélez would have been a lot more interesting.

Weird that the only Brazilian team not to advance was the defending champion.

But the Brazilian teams that did advance are enough to make them the favorites, as usual. Though having more teams than anybody else always helps.

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

colo colo vs america should be a great game. i think america should be able to beat them. wonder who they'll be getting to reinforce the team...

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

also, if toluca wins, that means that they will either be 5th or 4th over all, which means that all three mexican teams are going to be in the same bracket, correct? that's lame.

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Well they have just one than argentina, and they have five teams in the round of sixteen and just one team out of the competition, and argentinas got almost the complete oposite with just one team in the next round, so i dont think they the highest number of teams in the second round just because of that, but because they are good teams, just look at us we most likely are gonna have the second highest number of teamswith three, and the only country with all its teams advancing to the round of sixteen......

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

I'm not sure where you get that from, but it's possible. The Conmebol site has a more detailed bracket but I have class right now, maybe you can check there and see.

If all goes according to my logic the games for the Mexican teams will be the following:

Colo Colo-America(fixed)
Necaxa-Boca Jrs.(possible) Toluca-Dep. Cucuta(possible)

or

Toluca-Boca Jrs(possible-again) Necaxa-Dep. Cucuta(possible)

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

We have a good chance to make it to semifinals.
Nacional is not too hard I think, and Toluca is 50-50.
Santos/Colo Colo would be hard as hell though.

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

I think toluca's got the easiest series, and culo colo shouldn't be that hard to beat, america should be abe to go through them with ease, but then again we are coached by tena, then again Santos is a whole different story, and I don' really know about necaxa and nacional, I suppose if necaxa gets a good score next week they could take'em down in Aguascalientes, a good score being at least a scored draw a 2-2 at least.......

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

I believe Necaxa also got the goalkeeper from atlante, shit I can't remember his name, but you know that overrated argie......

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

Are you nuts? Vilar is a great keeper...

 

Re: Official 2007 Copa Libertadores Knockout Stages Thread: General Discussion

add vilar to the list...

they surely upgraded at the keeper position but gracian and oscar rojas? gimme a ********en break... nacional should take this series.

decent pickups but i'm sure they could of gotten a better player than scocco.

that being said, i think they have a good chance of getting past cucuta.

anything is an upgrade from davino but why the ******** did they get the midget for?

btw, why not give rodrigo in~igo a chance?

i have a feeling they will embarrass us again...
