Official Conmebol (South American) World Cup Qualifiers thread

[RUSI]

Yeah, same thing I thought...


I want Peker-head to test out Aimar and Riquelme together but I guess he's already made up his mind on not playing them together

Pekerman doesn't like Samuel very much. I'd really like to see Seba get a call-up to see if he can do something for the NT. He's been great for Inter(F*cking England f*cked his career up!)

Now is the time to test it out


Great Sig BTW

 

[Raikkonen]

Veron still has the Bielsa-curse over him . He's a persona non gratta in Argentina, it seems that everyone hates him after the WC in Asia.

Argentina is already qualified, they should try more formations/tactics, instead of calling players like Bernardi . I miss Saviola, Figueroa, Tevez (is he suspended or something?), Verón, Aimar... and Pekerman should call Palacios and Bilos (Boca)

Yeah, my rage against that WC has mellowed. I am sure he'd be inspired if he got called up to try to make up for it.

Exactly, calling up Bernardi is useless ! What will he do (or have the potential of doing) in Germany '06?

Pekerman's only risk that he's taken is not play our best in the Confed. Cup Final

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

I don't know what you say about not trying i think he had tried enough, though there are some players that never are called up that should be tried like Cavenaghi and Diego Milito(has been called few times though) also it's the time to test guys like Zabaleta and Messi. I believe that in these eliminatories we've used more than 35 players so far.

Add to the list César Delgado.
I guess he didn't call Figueroa and Saviola to test up some others like Lizandro López who didn't have much of a chance yet, and César Delgado who didn't play too much for the nt lately. However it's not like this is the last match before the world cup. I think Bernardi is a no more for the NT the rest can stay, however i would take some others and leave some out, think of Zanetti. Samuel y Solari aren't there because he keeps testing some alternatives plus i don't think he even considers Solari, and i believe he didn't call Saviola because he just arrived at Sevilla.
Palacios and Bilos are overrated and it seems that Bilos will play for Croatia's NT anyway. However i guess he should give another chance to other guys in the local football. I mean the kinds of Castromán, "el chaco" Torres(which seems will go to Dynamo Kyiv), Agüero, Beluschi, Barrado, and others.
It seems that Pekerman wants to give more play to Galetti for some reason. Aimar was called but he'll do differenciate training or something.

Mascherano and Cambiasso together seems to be a no-no.
However Cambiasso and Santana seemed to work.

All I can say is WOW. Colombian is making huge deal that an Argentine ref is coming to ref Uruguay/Colombia and that Colombian FA want anyone but an Argentine to ref the game.

Pekerman called Ernesto Farias (River Plate) to replace Crespo

and Parreira (almost) confirmed Brazil's lineup

[CENTER]Dida
Cafú   Lúcio   Juan   R. Carlos
Emerson
Kaká          Zé Roberto
Robinho
Adriano   Ronaldo[/CENTER]

poor Chile

 

[Lean]

That's a great lineup. Got all excited when i heard that on radio, but still, if Adriano and Ronaldo play like they did against Croatia, i can only hope either Kaká or Robinho have a good game.

That's the sh*t I am talking about, There is no point in calling up Farias, not when it is this close to the WC.

Imagine that Brasil lineup ith Ronaldinho instead of Ze Roberto

 

[Lean]

Our defence would be doomed though, Gaúcho cant defend. Emerson would be overloaded at the midfield.

your defence is already doomed with Juan and Roque Junior

Juan is Chile's last hope to get a point there :chew:

 

[Lean]

Roque Junior is hideous. The worst defender i've ever seen using our shirt. Anyway, dont forget we have Lucio aswell. Never know when he's gonna be on one of those days...

 

[WilliamFAlmeida]

LOL
thats so true!!
He'll either be a wall or casually give the ball to the opposing team.

Emerson is calling for the team to help mark up on D. Who knows....Brasil have to make a good showing of this. Brasil NEEDs it.

 

[Hendrik]

Juan is a major upgrade to R. Junior, but play BORDON for ****'s sake.

 

[Yossarian]

**** defenders, man. Brazil should forego all defenders (except for The Dida) and field 10 attackers instead.


Let me tell yah, I've done that in FManager and re-wrote the world soccer record books on my way to another WorldCup victory with them.


Argentina should field Messi and Tevez up front aswell, because that'd be hot...HOT DELICIOUS, man.

Ok this topic ends NOW!

Colombians are again bitching about Uruguay/Argentina from 2001 by saying "Hope this times it ends fairly". They've been trying to make Argentina and Uruguay look bad for the last 4 years and both are tired of it.

How the Colombians forget that they beat PARAGUAY 4-0 (in Paraguay). Jesus christ. They have no idea how the world laughs everytime they bring it up. It's like a guy calling the cops cause someone stole the crack that he was selling.

The Uruguayans responded in not so subtle way as Forlan pointed out the 4-0 win....Varela pointed out that Paraguay has a huge history of never losing at home and 1-1 Uruguay/Argie tie has happened 30,000 times................and Pato Sosa just straight up told them to "shut the **** up" (Really sublte Pato :funny
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
FORLAN, SOSA Y VARELA RESPONDEN A DECLARACIONES DE COLOMBIANOS
Boquita con llave
02.09.2005
En los últimos días jugadores de Colombia reclamaron un final de eliminatorias 'limpio' y pidieron 'honestidad' dando a entender que hubo un arreglo en el archi comentado partido entre Uruguay y Argentina. Los jugadores de la Celeste respondieron: 'Antes de hablar de más, primero tendrían que mirar para adentro. ¿Acaso no hubo nada extraño en el partido que ellos golearon en Asunción?', comentó Forlán. El 'Pato' Sosa fue más allá: 'qué se callen la boca'.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

All they're doing is putting presure on Argentina for them to win. But they think Argentina doesnt know this. Pekerman was quoted saying "It doesnt bother me what COlombia says ...we're playing that game how we wish". God I hope they qualify 5th and lost to Australia. That would be unbearable to watch.

So finally ....case closes. And lets get to the game.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

I'd like to see them like this.

Argentina

---------------Abbondanzieri--------------- (Lux)
-----Coloccini-----Ayala-----Heinze-------- (Milito, Quiroga)
--------Mascherano----Sorin--------------
----------------Cambiasso---------------- (Zabaleta)
------Gonzalez--------------D'sdro-------- (Galleti, Maxi R., Santana)
-----------------Riquelme----------------- (Benardi)
--------Farias------------Figueroa--------- (Messi, Lopez)


Brazil
--------------Dida--------------- (Júlio César)
------Lucio-----------Juan------- (Alex, Luisao)
-Cafu--------------------R.Carlos- (Cicinho, Nery)
------------Emerson-------------- (Renato, Gilberto)
------Kaká---------Ronaldinho---- (Juninho)
-------------Robinho------------- (R.Baptista, Ricardinho)
-----Adriano---------Ronaldo----- (R.Oliveira)

 

[Yossarian]

The Brazil lineup is so sick that it's made me bed-ridden instantly just by looking at it.......sheeeessh!


IT'S SO UNFAIR, MAN! (Sobs)

 

[Raikkonen]

Chile's lineup for sunday's match

[CENTER]N. Tapia
L. Fuentes   R. Rojas   P. Contreras
C. Álvarez   R. Meléndez   C. Maldonado   R. Tello
D. Pizarro
M. Pinilla    M. Salas[/CENTER]

Brazil is going to trash Chile Pinilla + Salas = and Fuentes-Rojas-Contreras to stop Adriano-Ronaldo-Robinho??? my god. i actually feel sorry for Pablo Contreras, he'll be owned twice by Robinho & Ronaldo in one week (R. Madrid-Celta next sunday :chew: )

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Well Argentina's lineup 97% confirmed, less than 2 hours left.

----------Abbondanzieri
-
---Coloccini---Ayala---Heinze
-
---Lucho González---Cambiasso
-Zabaleta-------------------Sorin
---------------Riquelme
-
---César Delgado----Lizandro López/Farias

Messi will be in the bench the wonder if he will get to play along Riquelme.

 

[Raikkonen]

Lucho Gonzalez as DM over Mascherano ? only Pekerman could do that

Ecuador is already 1-0 over Bolivia Bolivia is so bad... they should play at CONCACAF :fool:

btw, first leg: Australia 7-0 Solomon Islands (sp?) :boohoo:
