The league starts on the 15, I don't know why but that always gets me going. I like to see how the teams reshuffle the same 30 players from one team to another, and act suprise when mid season 80 percent of the teams are horrible at best. I also love to see how every year bolivar outspends everyone, yet they are barly able to come in second...!!! Bolivar and Real Madrid have one thing in common, they want to buy a title.. LOL... I wish the strongest had some of that cash to invest in our youth clubs. I think that the early front runners have to be the champions OP, with Bolivar second hopefully el tigre can stay among the top 5. My other favorit team Universitario doesn't have much cash Galindo and Bejarano sucked them dry. I am also excited to see Ramallo's kid develop in The Strongest, he looks promising.
We'll have to wait and see what happens. But to me Bolivar, Oriente Petrolero, and The Strongest have to show because of their many signings or changes. All three could probably represent Bolivia in international tourneys as their teams are starting to look pretty mean, in Bolivian standards of course.
You said it. I'll say this though, it's hard not to cheer for Bolivar with all the "head to toe" renovations. I'm still strongesta, but damn am I impressed. Being born here, I found out a few things today. Maybe it's all bull, I don't know. I'm ignorant to this crap. I was told that teams like "the Strongest, Wilsterman, and Blooming" were considered a team for the ellite population. Other teams in the same cities represented the poorer fan base. I hope it's all bull. IF not, my has time changed.
Lots of changes en El Tigre, la hinchada is split on it as usual. Those Ultra Sur guys are ready to kill someone as our directores son boludos. Hope my boys get off to a good start.
1MADDOG what you say is true. It's like boca and River. We are getting a solid team this year with Parada, Lima, De Souza, Vaca, Loayza, Lito Reyes, and Castedo. Also signing some really promising youth players. I know San Jose has also spent a lot of money in their team, I heard more than oriente and The strongest.
I'm learning. The upgrade for "Strongesta" is cool and actually very smart (given resources), but it certainly doesn't make me look twice at the screen out of excitement. Good times for Bolivian soccer though. All my teams are freaking failing (United, Redskins, Wizards, Nationals, Caps, Strongest). I'm hoping the Bolivian nats give me something to cheer about.
Hey guys, I hope we do great this year and enjoy watching our teams play for Bolivia. Ronaldinho was supposed to play en el Tahuichi for Gremio and he might go to Flamengo instead. Here are team players for Oriente today against Destroyers: Hugo Suarez, Gutierrez, Schiaparelly, Aguilar, Terrazas, Rea, Fernando Saucedo, Joselito Vaca, "conejo" Arce, Alcides Penha Substitutes: Danilo Peinado, Marcelo "pulga" Aguirre, Francisco Arguello, Michael Etulain, Veizaga, Mauricio Saucedo, MARTIN CAMAÑO. I like Oriente this year, Bolivar looks great also! Great liga boliviana this year!
Yup, seems like Arce is staying with Oriente for six months to play Libertadores and be closer to the NT. This is great because Oriente is gonna have a great team for Libertadores and I think they have enought to pass the group stage considering their group is not the hardest, it's also good for the NT b/c he'll be in all the micro-training weeks, and he will def. be called to the NT. With that said it also sucks that he's staying b/c Bolivar is gonna have a harder time winning the tourney with Oriente keeping all their players and getting good new ones.
That sounds good. That makes Oriente all that much stronger with Arce on the field. But if he has the chance to go to Rubin Kazan like it was mentioned before, I wouldn't be upset if he took it. As there is no guarantee that Oriente will impress in Libertadores, because you never know with Bolivian teams, you never know. But Oriente keeping all their players will defnintely give Bolivar a FIGHT. Oriente in Libertadores?? --------------------Suarez------------------------ Hoyos-------Caamano----Schiapparelli-----Gutierrez ------------------D Terrazas-------Arguello(mayb for later games) --JC Arce----------------Saucedo--------Campos-- -------------------------Peinado------------------ I don't know how this would work cause they got Vaca, I doubt he'll sit in the bench. They also got la pulga "Aguirre" back from Rosario, so I don't know who would start. But if I HAD to choose I would DEF sit VACA and aguirre.
Hey its def a possibility. Remember when he came back from Venezuela and had NO options left besides the offer bolivar gave him? He literally rode that all the way to the national team! Wouldnt be surprised if he does it again.
MrNilo I have to admit Blooming will need a basket to keep our Goals this year.. The new coach in Oriente plays 4-4-2 so it will end up like this in a month: Suarez or Etulain(great goalie we had in 2004) Hoyos - Schiaparelly - Camanho- Gutierrez Arguello Aguirre Vaca - Campos Arce Peinado Saucedo will be our hidden card.
Hopefully Saucedo will do a great job again. After Sudamericana last year, he did not play great games anymore. Vaca and Aguirre play great together. We'll see
Here is the new jersey for Oriente... http://www.daleooo.com/2011/01/oriente-petrolero-presenta-su-nueva.html It looks alright, colours look bad on this picture. I see a touch of an Arsenal's jersey a few years back. Good thing is they have it in 4 different colours.
Yea last year's was nice! but it makes sense that they would say that that jersey has run its course as they already became champions with it.
Yeah this jersey looks like the teenage mutant ninja turtles have a their own soccer team...... but i loved the last jersey with the cross at the chest
