We should get one these started. Final four come down to Chivas v Veracruz & el clasico del norte Rayados v Tigres. Winners become Mexico 2 & 3 to be placed in the following groups: Group 1 São Paulo FC Caracas FC Cienciano Colo Colo or México 3 Group 4 (toughest group in my opinion) Corinthians Universidad Católica Deportivo Cali México 2 Pumas is in Group 6 Nacional Pumas UNAM Internacional Unión Atl. Maracaibo Whoever lands as Mexico 2 will have it tough.
I am thinking that maybe Chivas will pass (Veracruz I think would have it hard), and with the other two, who cares. Seriously, I am not sure. But yes, group four will have it tough.
Tigres will have the best chance here for Mexico. With Aldo, Chamagol, Silvera, Gaitan, Peralta, there is only a defense to worry about. oh, did I forget Lozano, if he can get back into form, this team is gonna be tough. America is gonna start out with a losing record after the 1st Jornada. If Tuca can get his defense organised, BEWARE!
when do NT players have to report to the seleccion? I wanna figure out for how many games chivas will have their players and at what point they will have those players back. That way i can have a better idea of chivas has a decent shot at libertadores or not...

Well I heard on Jorge Ramos en Vivo last night that the semi-finals and finals of Copa Libertadores will probably be played after the World Cup, depending on how quickly things move along.
Hell yeah, my plead to bring more power to the midfield was finally answered, at least for the Libertadores: "El mediocampista brasileño Argemiro Veiga, se reportó el lunes al entrenamiento de Tigres dispuesto a aportar su experiencia en Copa Libertadores y trabajar al cien por ciento en espera de lograr una oportunidad para la próxima temporada." via
