Copa Libertadores 2020 - Final Live on IPlayer at 8pm Saturday

[A Magician Named Gob]

Come on Santos

Money on it or a preference?

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

just know that this is going to be a niggly game with time wasting fouls.

 

[WinkieWATP]

I’m on Bein as I struggle with the commentary team on BBC however I could listen to Vickery all day. Love his South American football insight.

Tim Vickerys knowledge is second to none (for us Brits anyway)

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Is anyone else's BBC stream buffering? I have the Sky box plugged into the router so won't blame my broadband for this one.

 

[top_cat]

It's shite with no fans allowed in. Fed up looking at empty stadia across multiple sports.

 

[johnny1872]

Think there will be 1 or 2 red cards in this game......

Not buffering for me.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Not buffering for me.

Seems a bit better now but it cut out twice in 5 minutes. I don't see any reason they couldn't have justified putting this on BBC2 or BBC3/4 or whatever channels they have if any still exist.

 

[Garrioch Bear]

Any UK TV coverage of this?

Game is on Ch 601 Freeview

 

[drgriffen]

So far the heat and occassion are on top as the quality has been poor.

 

[Rangerista]

Players going down too easily and frequently, if they could only eliminate this from South American football.

 

[Templbluenose]

Brazilian football is nowhere near as good as Argentinian football imo,
There is no intensity to this game.

 

[Rangerista]

This is an anticlimax so far, no rhythm or fluidity to the game. It can only get better in the second half, I hope.

 

[drgriffen]

Really disappointing first half.

Unless there is an early goal I'd imagine it will be more of the same.

 

[Calderwoodloyal]

Can’t help but think the pressure on the players is stifling the game. Local rivals playing for the biggest SA club honour, I mean I’m not sure a Man City v Man Utd CL final would be a classic. An early second half goal could settle this a bit to the game we hoped for. Hopefully for Santos as today is a day for the black and white to humble the green and white plus I bit at the 27/10 Hills offered:shh:

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

some interesting insight from Vickery there.

first choice striker from the bench for Santos was playing park football before signing with Santos!

 

[Wazza]

6/4 a nil nil and 5/2 a Red in 90 at Half Time.

 

[bluetonic]

Sau Paulo state derby this and always quite liked the Palmeiras badge, pity about the colours

 

[Dalai Lammers]

I’ve watched a load of SA football over the years.

The pace is slow and the spectacle is boring mostly.

Off field is very entertaining though.

 

[yardie]

Think there will be 1 or 2 red cards in this game......

There's one of each in the referee's pocket

 

[Wazza]

Nothing like watching a Footballer with guts mind is there, willing to take a gamble on his ability - what a match like this needs, like what Arsenal v Man U needed.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

this is shite, total snide play from the start.

 

[Templbluenose]

%^*& var just blow the whistle.

 

[drgriffen]

Wonder how long injury time will actually be? Over 7 minutes so far and there have been plenty of stopages.

 

[Wazza]

Bringing the team off here ain't he the Santos Coach.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

haha thank fvck I don't have to watch 30 minutes of extra time

 

[Templbluenose]

thank f uck , great header

 

[drgriffen]

At last a goal. After 98 minutes.

1-0 Palmeiras.

 

[Bearcage]

What a header

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

this is shite, total snide play from the start.

I don't think South American football is renowned for much else to be fair.

 

[bkerr72]

Brilliant goal great cross and header.

 

[Wazza]

Thought the Santos Coach was saying come off but looks like for a Sub not a protest! Was excited then for a few seconds.

 

[Rangerista]

A goal worthy to win any final.

 

[arnietac1]

Wow...what a cross and superb header.

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

Aaaaaaahhh man what an end to a shit game brilliant

 

[drgriffen]

Don't know who's happier: the Palmeiras fans or neutrals at not having to watch another 30 minutes.

Two teams setup not to lose rather than win.

Congrats to Palmeiras.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

What a goal

 

[drgriffen]

 

[LetsGo]

Cuca looks like a mhank fan

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Yes Palmeiras!

[instructor]

That was a rubbish game of football, can't see Palmeiras getting near Bayern Munich assuming the game is taken seriously. It was a great header at the end to win it but I wasted 2 hours of my life watching that.

Thanks, great thread, been really enjoyable and informative.

I'm sure the 2021 edition will be equally as good.

Will Vina have time to make his move to Milan happen @drgriffen

Will Vina have time to make his move to Milan happen @drgriffen

All that I have read is that any deal would be postponed until the Summer, but that was a few days ago.

If Milan wanted to make it happen it could, though.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

What a way to win / lose a final.
Most enjoyable part was the knowledge and input of Tim Vickery. What a difference to having someone like that and someone who just talks for the sake of it.
