Official Conmebol (South American) World Cup Qualifiers thread

chile - venezuela?
you didnt had too

Perú 0 - 0 Uruguay

thx Perú! btw, sorry, but

now Uruguay has 3 tough matches left: Colombia (home), Ecuador (away) and Argentina (home)

i want a draw tomorrow between Ecuador and Colombia and obviously, a home win in Chile-Venezuela

Bye Bye Mundial for Peru Germany won't have Pizarro, Farfan Guerrero , Solano, Comingues in the world cup.

now things would look a tad better if we beat chile
and hoping that ecuador beats colombia, and paraguay beats bolivia or a draw

Colombia 3
Ecuador 0

Excellent result man......im proud of our national team man........ If we had this coach from the beginning (reynaldo Rueda) we would be higher up i think...... he came in after like half way through

We got 1 home game left against Chile, 2 away to Uruguay and Paraguay.... 4th and 5th place are still up for grabs........

yeah excellent result 8 goals scored and 0 conceded in 2 games :/ Colombain goal keeper was excellent Mondragon. alatsaray got themselves an owesome goal keeper

definately, Reynaldo has won 19pts with Colombia, we have 20pts, Maturana in 4 games only tied one game for 1 point!

4th is going to be hard, if paraguay wins tonight, 5th could be more accessible, we still need to play like this in all games.

wtf happen to Ecuador when they play outside his country??

they have 23 points: 7 wins at home, 1 draw at home and 1 draw away (both draws with Peru)

EDIT: Jimenez!!! 1-0!!

Ecuador has the altitude advantage at home, thats why they get positivie scores there.

Jimenez again 2-0

I hope Ecuador somehow doesn't make it.

Hopefully Paraguay, Chile and Colombia can get past *luck-ass* Ecuador.

Argentina will win the WC. ...check back with me in about 13 months.

Damn, i sure do hope we don't play Columbia, i'd rather Australia play Chile or Uruguay, i'd be cancelling my WC tickets if Columbia finish 5th.

I think thats exactly what Farrina (Aussie coach) said right before the last Uruguay/Australia series/war.

IMO Australia would fair well enough at home vs. any of these 3 south american powers.......but playing away?
I'd be surprised if Chile scores less than 6 goals in the Estadio Olimpico......Aussies just have no experience playing in REAL (I mean REAL= 90,000 extremely proud and pissed off fans who are itching to tear the visiting team apart if they even think about scoring <Includes fans throwing stuff to players, refs afraid to make calls, stadium literally about to fall apart from the extreme jumping/singing/flairs/bombs.......................Gotta love south America .)

I'd bet my life that Aussie wont make the WC (they will prob make it in 2010 playing in Asia tho)

don't get ahead of me now, yes we won 6/6 points this round, but we need 6/7 out of the next 9! that's going to be hard.

Amen that. I always try to imagine results in a way that, in the end, they finish at least 6th.

I'd like to see this with our squad, but I really doubt it'll happen


I bet our players will lack motivation and we don't win this

i want to see Chile not being owned by Brazil, but i doubt that will happen

but i guess it's a win-win situation, because i could see:

a. Chile getting a point or "just" a 1-0 defeat
OR
b. Robinho-Ronaldo scoring a lot of goals

btw, pretty ****ty Argentina squad. Where's Aimar??? Samuel and Solari getting axed after their move to Inter :chew:
