Played with both Boca and River. Had a decent enough career.
Won a trident of titles with Velez just over a decade ago.
Peru underwhelming
2-0
“Santos Laguna” getting Pedro ‘Nam style flashbacks here.

I don’t think there has been any yellow cards. I’ve watched the whole game and haven’t noticed any
Who the %^*& is this guy?

That can’t be a pen surely?
1 booking for a Copa game is very tameI don’t think there has been any yellow cards. I’ve watched the whole game and haven’t noticed any

Alfie doesn’t make the bench.
Gaffer seems to pick his team via a tombola.

WTF is going on in this game?
Is it a penalty or wit?

The one a few minutes ago looked a pen. That was a dive and I say that needing an Ecuador goal.Is it a penalty or wit?
Unlucky Winkie, I just put a few quid on Richarlison FGS @11/2. That was an enjoyable match there

They need to give Alfie a run in the side.
4 teams qualify as well, makes no sense to not give him a run in the side in any game at all.
Ashamed to say I will give this a miss, far too fucking tired

Cracking goal.
Luis Diaz only scores screamers it seems, had a cracking view for his goal against us.

Suarez, Cavani and the sad end to Uruguay's golden era | Goal.com
It's been 10 years since Uruguay won the Copa America and star attacking duo Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are reaching the end of their international careers amid mediocrity

Yeah, like I said earlier it’s almost impossible to not qualify.
There’s usually 12 teams though, Qatar and Australia pulled out, so this was the only feasible way to have even groups.

It is indeed the case.
There were supposed to be 6 teams per group but the two invited teams pulled out due to covid.

Could say the same about the Euros where 4 third placed teams qualified.
This tournament is about money for CONMEBOL and (initially) trying to show the world it could host a big tournament prior to the World Cup hosting being decided for 2030. Unfortunately, the football is an aside.

For the 2026 World Cup, 6 teams from the 10 will automatically qualify. The qualification process is diluted further. It'll be interesting to see whether nations use games to blood new talent.

The reason given was that possession remained with the same team. But the video clearly shows it was going to a Colombian.
I have a little sympathy for Pitana because he was expecting assistance from the VAR.

Fair play to you for watching tonight's game. I'm taking a night off from footie.
Thanks for the update - no surprise to see the goal being an og as Uruguay have really been struggling in front of goal.

They should have invited Guyana and Suriname to make up the numbers rather than the usual random invites. I reckon Suriname might give Bolivia a good game to be honest.
