@JoshBRFC Nintendo Switch mate. I only got it because of going to Fuerteventura the other week. I haven't been on the Ps4 for ages. I need to buy a Ps5 at some point to be honest. It's actually a good game on the switch as it's the actual game and not just updated squads like that awful Fifa game last year.

Barcelona won all 6 in 2009 and 5 in 2015 and Bayern have done it as well.

Crocs with socks

I wouldn't have even had them in Europa spots. Had this been Sevilla, Villarreal(both of which are shit this year), Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad or even Real Betis, it would be more understandable.

It's been 25 here(Fuerteventura) today.

Some nice views mate. You have any plans to go anywhere else any time soon? Fuerteventura tomorrow .

I've got a feeling that Uruguay are going to win it this time. But it would be nice to see someone like Colombia or Perú pull it off. Argentina always play Chile. That's not an easy group for them though. Chile, Perú and even Canada can all make it difficult. Brazil have it easy, other than Colombia. Uruguay shouldn't have problems getting out of their group either.

According to the weather forecast, next week in Fuerteventura(well, as of Saturday when I go) will see highs of 24 and lows of 16/17, so that's doesn't sound bad to me at all for December.

He is class when he has his day, but his day isn't often unfortunately. He's a frustrating player. The same can be said for Raphinha and Ferrán infact. All 3 have talent but don't demonstrate it anywhere near enough. I must say, the midfield 3 of Pedri, de Jong and Gundo looked brilliant last night. Lewandowski should have had a hatrick. I must say, the difference Pedri makes is huge. His niggling injury worries mean he misses a chunk of the season, but when he's fully fit and at his best, he is the most important player. People are obsessed with goal scoring players nowadays and forget the difference makers in midfield who are the ones who control the game. In saying that, goalscorering players are obviously massively important themselves as goals win games and that type of player is actually what Barcelona lack right now. De Jong is also hugely valuable. Not selling him was certainly not a mistake.

Neither would Athletic Bilbao if they didn't take loads of players from basque clubs(they also steal players from Osasuna, who are also on the list), it's no different in their case. In fact, they are the worst ones for it as they pretty much depend on this due to their policy.

What about the 4 year old girl who saw her parents killed before her eyes, before then being held captive?

If you look at cities individually though, Colombia only has 4 in the top 50, whereas México has like 25. The USA has an overall rating similar to Perú, but if you look at individual cities like St Louis or New Orleans, for example, they are up there with the worst. Also you have to look at the type of murders. Are they gang related, are they civilian on civilian, etc. It can be deceiving also. The other year Montserrat had a pretty high murder rate, although there were only actually 2 murders. Due to the such low population, it made it look a much worse situation than it was. Also, I'm guessing El Salvador's will be much lower now than 2 years ago(which is when the data is from) due to Bukele. In fact, I'm thinking that could be a great tourist destination in the near future. Over 100 volcanoes(very few are active however) there too @nudge

Yeah, Uruguayans are literally the only people you could confuse with an Argentine(or viceversa) if you are a Spanish speaker. By the way, I didn't realise that Brazil had never lost at home in the qualifiers prior to last night. I obviously knew they wouldn't have lost very many but it didn't occur to me that they had never lost at all. Very impressive.

These things are there to be broken mate and if anyone can do it, then I would stick Bielsa among the group of coaches/managers who could. Araújo was a beast for Uruguay the other night also. It will be vital they keep him fit.

I have been following this fella for a while now, as he has been travelling through Latin America, to many countries like Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, Brasil, etc and he always goes to the barrios and favelas. When in Brazil, he was even going to parties with gangs in favelas. But to the point; in this video, he decides to take the same route through the Darién gap that many illegal migrants take daily, to experience what it is like for the many who flee their countries for a better life in the USA. This is the route many Venezuelans take(which is why I thought it would be relevant to post here) and just shows the extreme lengths people go to. You can't get any more real and raw than this guy's channel and it's great how he is exposing these realities to the world. His channel really shows how friendly and welcoming the majority of Latin American people are too, whichever country that is.

Messi's dribbling at 36 is ridiculous. He's still got it. Brazil vs Argentina will be an interesting fixture. Argentina are the better side currently but anything can happen in that game, especially when it's held in Brazil. The South American qualifiers are the only good thing about the international break. He did well at Athletic Bilbao too. They only lost the Europa final to a top Atlético side under Simeone, but beat big clubs on their route to the final, including schooling Man United home and away. Unfortunately it was short lived and he can lose his head, which is one of his negative traits. Top manager in general though. Uruguay have the team there to go far and he is the man they needed.

Against Georgia in the European qualifiers. Typical. Get well soon Gavi. But I can see him never being the same again after this, just like Fati. Barcelona's future is basically dying before it even starts. Pedri and Araújo are injured all the time themselves. But honestly though, the kid getting better is the most important. It must be horrific to suffer such an injury and it's going to be a seriously stressful time for him.

Only 2 weeks and 6 days until Fuerteventura

I think it would be a good idea to have a Latin America thread, rather than separate countries, like with the Middle East thread, as it would create more discussion that way in my opinion.
