VillaChris Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That's true and I'd also put Pato in the same category...I went to Brazil-Sweden at Emirates in 2008 which was his debut and he scored from near enough the corner flag. Was only about 18 then. Such a waste of a career considering how well he'd started for Meelan around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I liked Caniggia. I think it was him anyway. Speedy forward with long flowing hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Mexico are sending a reserve side aren't they, saving their big guns for the Gold cup in July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 few strong players in their squad like Marquez and Jimenez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's mostly home based. No Hernandez, Gio, Ochoa, Hector Herrea etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Oh. Colombia didn't have a great defence at the world cup...38 year old Yepes in there...but they were impressive enough until they froze against Brazil. I see they've lost a few experience heads in midfield like Freddy Guarin but you'd think with all their attacking players they'll make the semis at least. Edit: Bacca and James out of form really? Jackson Martinez. You were fine without Falcao in the World cup and at least he's an option this time. Edited June 6, 2015 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Seeing how players like Suarez, Vidal, Dani Alves and Neymar played tonight (play acting, cheating, histrionics, etc) means I won't be tuning in. For all their talent, a lot of South American footballers are immensely unlikeable. Edited June 6, 2015 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armero has been at AC Milan as backup for nearly a year and not a starter. He just recently moved to Fluminense. Zapata hasn't started for AC Milan in months. Balanta is injured. Quintero is injured. Aguilar is injured. Our entire midfield and fullback lineup is second choices except for Sanchez, who hasn't been starting either. Cuadrado and Falcao are both not starting/ looking like shit. Yay we have a bunch of good strikers. That's only like two members of the team in any given match. Colombia is not in good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Easily my favourite international tournament after the World Cup starts next week in Chile so I thought I would set up a thread Euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I like the Euros but you see most of the players all the time in their domestic leagues. The Copa America always has the odd surprise player turn up and have a stormer and disappear again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Brazil squad is a shocker on paper Shame there seems to be so many young prospects not there, balanta for Columbia, vietto for Argentina etc Jimenez for Uruguay probably the best U21 talent Looking at the squads quickly there are only 14 players 21 or under, 2 players under the age of 19 (276 players in total) pretty poor Argentina should win it with that squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 The UNder 20 Championships is on at same time which is a huge tournament for South American countries and 5 teams in this tournament have teams there so why not many young players at the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah that's what I want to try and watch, mammana, Druissi, Simeone, angel correa, Nathan, Kenedy, Lucas evangalista, sanabria It's like a football manager wet dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
