CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying thread

I put money on a Bolivia win. Argentina always struggle in La Paz and Pablo Escobar is on huge form right now for The Strongest.

I thought he died...

Whilst I don't like dissent (and Argentina won!) 4 games seems a bit harsh considering each week we see masses of players swearing this and that at refs.

Don't think there was any physical altercation..

Maybe setting an example to others?

Argentina 2-0 down now so more trouble for them.

Peru 2-1 Uruguay

Where are you?

 

[mistermagic]

Uruguay are bollocks. I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong, that you qualify and we meet somewhere in Russia. Would be a grand day.

Argentina lost in Bolivia!

It'd be good if that playoff spot comes down Argentina and Ecuador and the last round of fixtures, where Ecuador host Argentina.

Can't help thinking that for all the faff around Argentina's performance so far, they'll ease into the playoff spot against New Zealand and thus breeze through to Russia regardless.

So Sampaoli takes the reigns at Argentina then. Get news, finally a good coach that may bring the best out of all that available talent.

I wouldn't call Sabella a bad coach. He did take Argentina to the World Cup final.

Yeah he's been the only one over the last few years that's been competent. The rest since have been woeful.
