I don't like some of the selections. Arouca: Didn't play well AT ALL. Thiago Silva >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alex Silva Kléber was hurt for most of the group stage. He also hasn't played well since he has come back from his injury.
No Araujo, or Urrutia from Liga? I am not sure if that makes sense. They have been playing great. Not to put any of the other players down, but for some reason LIga is in semifinals, I would think more playres other than Guerron should be in the main squad, at least in the subs. Also Bolanos. All these 3 players have been consistent all tournament.
Colotto? Pfft. He chickened on the big stage, so no. And also they should wait until the thing ends to make an "All-Star Team".

Perros, ojala que metamos un gol pronto en el juego de vuelta y se pongan a tirarse igual para gastar mucho tiempo.
Si, seguramente eso afecto mucho mas el juego que la perdonada a Villa, y la expulsion de Bolanos. Pero tienes razon, veremos como termina pro aca en Quito. No me siento confiado, pero si me siento mucho mas tranquilo que cuando jugamos frente a San Lorenzo, claro, hay que ver quien remplaza a Bolanos
Boca will win tomorrow vs. Flu. i'm in chattanooga, TN. any good places to go watch the game with Boca fans? DALE! DALE! DALE BOCA DALE!
It's funny how Fluminense only has 5 votes, even though they have the best record of the four semifinalists. I guess nobody gives them a chance against Boca, but I think they are going to be a very tough team to beat. Boca will need to improve both offensively and defensively to win this matchup.
Dominguez se la merecia, no se debe lanzar golpes a los jugadores en el piso...primer mandamiento. Villa tampoco sabe eso, patear cuando un jugador pide disculpas no pasa... Bolanos no hizo nada, nadie sabe porque se fue, ni el albitro, seguro esta pensand que poner en el reporte ahora mismo. En todo caso, supongo que ambo jugadores afectan.
Que no le habia pegado el jugador a Dominguez?? Creo que dijieron los comentaristas que le tiro una patada mientras estaba en el suelo.
Del video que vimos, y que pasaron en Sur America. No digo que hayas visto diferente, pero los comentaristas, como todos saben en USA son mexicanos y poco objetivos. Mi comentario va porque nadie ni los comentaristas argentinos ni nadie de Liga entendio la expulsion y por ende inclusive van a apelar en la FIFA. No hay ninguna patada, es mas. Se caen en la jugada, Dominguez sobre Bolanos, y Dominguez se levanta a putearlo y lanza la mano. Bolanos no hizo nada. Al igual que con VIlla, que Manso, le pidio disculpas, Villa se levanto y lanzo un zapataso al jugador y Manso recibio la tarjeta...
los de amarillo salieron a dar pata y codo en el primer tiempo y los visitantes entendieron que exagerando el arbitro comia cuento villa jugo de gratis- debio de ser expulsado en el 1rd tiempo, cuando patio a manso en el suelo. buen resultado para Liga como se entrego y corrio Ambrosi!!! el 8 tambien estuvo muy concentreado guerron espero que pase al futbol argentino y no se pierda en mejicano.....
Villa should have gotten a red card(dumbass move).LDQ is a really dirty team,Good game from wannabe C. Ronaldo(Herron). Its going to be tough for America but they can still pull a upset at Quito they just need to get Cabanas more involved...he got covered really good tonight.
Because America played so clean last night right? We should give them the Fair play award at the end of the tournament
I keep reading this degrading sounding camparison of Guerron with Ronaldo. First of, I really dont see him trying to be someone he isnt, he has his own way of playing the game and he is good at that, I mean it has made a difference with every team and yet, I see the mexican crowd, a few people, coming in to say in a few different threads, the wannabe. I would not call him wannabe, specially if your team has been unable to cover him. And second, if you actually are gonna compare him with Ronaldo, than I humbly say thank you, and you should humbly give him his well deserved respect, because if he brings back to your mind CR, that means he is doing somehting right. Just a thought....
It has nothing to do with the quality of his game. It's because of his overuse of the stepovers (pedaladas), which is reminiscent of Ronaldo. (Or Robinho as well if you prefer.) He had one play last night in particular in which he was leading an attack with numbers and he kept doing the stepovers until a defender took the ball away. I've seen Ronaldo and Robinho do that many times, so that is what it reminded me of. Doesn't mean I don't think he's good. Ronaldo and Robinho are also good, you know.
