Copa Libertadores de America 2015

[alanrotoi]

Dup/Leo is the Brazilean championship so dull as I see? I feel it's happening here too but in the continental cups seems Brazilian teams lowered the quality and now it's more equal. But an equality to a worse level it's a shit. San Lorenzo won last Libertadores Cup... with a shitty team. The top 4 were:

1 San Lorenzo (Arg. shitty team, cheap and lucky)
2 Nacional (Par. nonexistent budget team.)
3 Bolivar (Bol. who?)
4 Defensor Sporting (Uru... def who?)

Fortunatly the current Libertadores seems to recovered some quality. Mostly from Argentinian teams (but still low)

There are 6 Argentinian teams. 3 are already classified to the next round. The rest two has high chances and the other (San Lorenzo) very low chances.
Brazil: 5 teams: 1 already classified, 3 with high chances and 1 very low chances.

In my opinion the current performance of the Argentinian football is lower than some years ago. That's mostly why I think Brazillian football is in crisis too.

I'm very curious how is Inter perfomance this year. I love D'alessandro's game.

Tigres and Boca Jrs. seems to have the best performance up to now.

Strong BRA/BRA and ARG/ARG pairings!

2014 was a low point indeed, whether you look from the Brazilian teams' perspective or, as you say, to the overall picture of the Libertadores. And "equality to a worse level" quite often is an apt characterisation of the Brazilian Série A.

Look on the bright side, though: both of us had our Group 2 wishes granted! (São Paulo 2 - 0 Corinthians; San Lorenzo 0 - 1 Danúbio)

Santa Fe in quarters. First tip correct

Tomorrow is the second match between Wanderers (URU) vs Racing Club (ARG). The first match was 1-1 in Uruguay so this time they play in Avellaneda (Argentina).

[Shoegazing Leo]

What happened to the Boca vs River match?

[alanrotoi]

Shame. I can't bealieve it. I don't know what's worse the vandals or the failure of authorities from CONMEBOL, Boca, Referee, Police, AFA. Fuckers.
