Goku de la Boca 121 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Table right now. The top 6 spots are the ones going directly I think, even this early on. 7th will be fought by Chile, Paraguay and Peru. I actually do think we'll make a small comeback, but not as big as the last few qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Uruguay will be Top after this round of fixtures I think. Should beat Bolivia. I fancy Brazil Argentina to be a draw. Can see 1-1 written all over it with Yellow cards handed out like it's Christmas. Edited November 21, 2023 by Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it almost impossible for Bolivia to get a draw in Montevideo to be honest, but I also think this is Argentina's best shot to finally end Brazil's near 80 year unbeaten run at home in qualifying. There is no better opportunity. Brazil has been average and has so many players missing. If they don't do it now, I doubt I'll ever see Brazil get beat at home.

Cicero 5,267 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Argentina look knackered considering the over reliance they have on some players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 On 20/11/2023 at 17:45, Goku de la Boca said: My worry about Bielsa is if they can actually win the World Cup. Uruguay have a squad good enough for that and nobody will convince me otherwise, but at the end of the day, there is a stat that does go against that. There has never been a foreign manager that won the World Cup. That is history, but it also speaks for needing to fully understand a countries football culture and if that culture is truly effective enough to work at a world stage. I think in Uruguay's case, they have an Argentine manager and they both understand each other very well. It is right across the river after all. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but mostly because it's an Argentine managing Uruguay and nobody understands the Uruguayans as well as them. Brother nations after all.

Goku de la Boca 121 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 I like this lineup. Sonne should come on in the second half. Don't want him to eventually reject us for Denmark. If he gets to the Bundesliga as has been rumoured, he's gonna be good enough for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku de la Boca 121 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 The last World Cup was a very bad one for South America (barring the winner of course), but I think 2026 is gonna be our time again. Not only is it in a continent where we always tend to do well, but Colombia with Lorenzo, Uruguay with Bielsa and of course Argentina and Brazil (I think Diniz will eventually come good) all look superb. Ecuador has the squad to grind enough games in the tournament itself. The 6th/7th spot will struggle depending on the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Profesor 1,457 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) A fight broke out between argentinian and brazilian fans in Maracanã.

And they have a long history with the argentinian barras. I still can't believe CBF thought it was a good decision to mix argentinian and brazilian fans. Anyone with a brain knew it was a bad idea.
