Guest Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm going to start this thread early as I am incredibly nervous for the upcoming 2 matchdays. October 5th Bolivia vs Brazil Venezuela vs Uruguay Chile vs Ecuador Colombia vs Paraguay Argentina vs Peru October 10th Ecuador vs Argentina Uruguay vs Bolivia Paraguay vs Venezuela Brazil vs Chile Peru vs Colombia Table Think we will definitely win at least one of the matches. Rather it be against Argentina as that will almost guarantee our place in the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not man for man but right now we are better than both teams. I think recent form, performances and statistics all support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted September 7, 2017 Administrator Share Posted September 7, 2017 literally just clocked that Argentina have scored less than the team that are bottom i think Argentina will beat Peru. Chile to draw with Ecuador. but then Peru will draw with Colombia while Brazil beat Chile. And Argentina to beat Ecuador. which i believe will automatically put Argentina through and Peru in 5th.

Guest Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Claudio Pizarro wants to get called up for the world cup. If he does, we will see a repeat of 1982. Would hurt our chances of progressing the group. First of, he needs to realize we haven't qualified YET. Second, he doesn't deserve a world cup. Neither does Jefferson Farfan.

SirBalon Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Paulo Dybala is getting ripped into by quite a number of the press. This kid seems to have entered a football depression since his bad performance in the Champions League Final at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. 1 point and zero goal difference separating who qualifies automatically for WC, to those who will miss out completely. I don't envy any supporter of 3rd through 6th place.

Guest Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Edison Flores posted this on his Facebook. He's basically telling the population that its normal to have excitement, but nothing has been won yet. We still haven't qualified. I'm really glad the players see this and I hope they live up to their word and take these last 2 matches seriously, which I know they will.

He's still completely world class but he has changed as a player and as a result, isn't as good as he once was in my opinion. In 2010-2012 he was arguably the best player of all time, now he's arguably only the best in the world. Now to wait for @SirBalon to "rip us apart" for having a different opinion to him.

SirBalon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's simple for those that understand the sport... He did change his game because he's that good! He's become a better player than he was which is tremendous and this metamorphosis is the only factor for me that puts him into contention for the greatest of all time alongside Maradona.

Well I'm sorry for not "understanding the sport" because he doesn't impress me as much as he used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wasn´t at his best in 2014 and then he returned to being great in 2015, perhaps it could be related to his disilusions with the national team and also due to the fact that Luis Enrique never really shaped his team well last season. With a better coach in Valverde and with the World Cup in the horizon (Argentina always qualify in the end,) he will return to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's complete bollocks. Messi isn't half the player now that he was then. Same goes for Ronaldo, he changed his game and is a more tactical player. Its working tremendously and he's scoring against big and smaller opponents. He's on course to win the Ballon D'or which I'm actually starting to make sense of despite believing Neymar should get it, but he is in no way possible anywhere as good as he once was.

There were definite signs of it yesterday, age could be a factor to watch out for although I still believe he's got 4 or 5 years of being world class or "the best in the world".

Cicero Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Messi could also appear in the 2022 WC mind you. At 35, he could still be a valuable asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Chris Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 He doesn't get you on the edge of your seat like he did back then(although the same can even be said for 2007-2009 in this regard) but I'd hardly say that he's dropped a level, as he has arguably become a better allround player than ever over the past 3 years. The team as a whole dropped a level over the past year and half or so, but not necessarily Messi. Last season he scored over 50 goals, many of them being world class ones, his passing was brilliant, we saw his mazy dribble runs like old times, he kept the team in the title race towards the end of the season(most notably with a great performance against Real Madrid) and had a class Copa Del Rey final. I can't think of ever seeing a player who can score goals, dribble and pass to the same high standards as him. He's evolved over the years from playing on the right, to a false 9 to more of an attacking midfielder and has had to change his game, which he has done perfectly well.

Cicero Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 In terms of explosiveness and lethalness in attack, 2010-2012 was his absolute best. Best player I've ever seen and without a shadow of a doubt the greatest of all time. He can't really do that stuff now to the same standard he did in those years, but as everyone suggested, he changed his game. He's now more of a playmaker rather than a focal point in attack, and that is largely due to the absence of Xavi and decline of Iniesta. Even so, he still performs above anyone else, and that just goes to show how unbelievable he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
