Best U23 South American team


football forum

Recommended Posts

I'm bored so I may as well.

Fariñez (Venezuela)

Villamarin (Peru) - Sanchez (Colombia) - Mina (Colombia) - Jorge (Brazil)

Tapia (Peru) -Arthur (Brazil)

Soteldo (Venezuela) - De Arrascaeta (Uruguay) - Flores (Peru)

Jesus (Brazil)

 

Goalkeeper was very easy to pick. As were the 2 central defenders (although Gimenez could have been made a case). The 2 full backs were a bit tough. I ultimately thought Jorge was a better choice than Ecuador's Cristian Ramirez and I couldn't find a proper RB so I chose one that I'm a big fan of and do think can reach big heights in Villamarin.

Tapia and Arthur were shoe ins I felt. There were a few others some could have made a case for like Leandro Paredes, but I ultimately thought these 2 were the best choices.

The 3 attacking midfielders were the toughest choices. I like Soteldo better than Peñaranda but the other 2 I couldn't think of any others. At least not on their national teams anyways. I wasn't sure if Paredes was competent enough to play in the CAM role.

Gabriel Jesus was an easy pick for the striker.

Are Peru any good at U23 level mate?

@Blue

No Peruvian youth team is good, but individual talent wise at U23 its there. A lot of them helped us qualify for the World Cup. That's really all I need to say.

Often the coaching lets us down at that level.

Torreira should be there. 

 

Good point, I forgot about him. I'd put him in a midfield 3 of Tapia - Torreira - and Arthur or even Torreira - Valverde - Paredes could work well.

Edison Tapuiva has impressed me whenever I've seen him (albeit I don't watch that much South American football). 

I might be biting onto the worm here - but who the hell is Tapuiva? xD

Rulli

 

Moreno as in Marlos Moreno?

He's one hell of a talent - but he hasn't gotten much football in Europe sadly.

For me, Fariñez is a shoe in even over Rulli but I can understand if you haven't seen him enough.

Torreira, good shout. Keep up with him a lot because of soccer manager.

Malcolm

Giovani lo velo

agustin Rossi GK (boca juniors )

Wendel

Nicolas de la Cruz (riBer plate ) @Berserker

 

Rossi is shit, Voka lack a decent GK. And also De La Cruz, he has been shit for us thus far.

To that list of Cicero i'd swap one of the wingers for Barco (ex Independiente) and perhaps our own Martinez Quarta for that Sanchez and i'd definitely swap Rulli who i also think is shit.

xD Rossi is shit?? Nice trolling.... Just cause you dislike boca don't mean you can't admit that he is very talented and I see him starting for the argie team eventually

Hijo mio,los dos sabemos que va pasar...boca campion esta temporada.

Rossi is indeed shit hijo mio, just cause you gloryhunt for them doesn't mean you know jack shit about the goddam team. Their own fans say he's shit and that they wanted to buy a better GK.

Y si, robando como siempre cualquiera sale campeon jaja.

Yeah, Lautaro is great, mate, but not better than Jesus, at least for now.

Yefferson Soteldo - Plays for U De Chile and is a very quick and unpredictable winger.

Wuilker Fariñez - Plays for Millonarios is the second best U20 Keeper in the world, behind Donnaruma

Adalberto Peñaranda - Think he's at Malaga right now. The most known of the Venezuelan U23 players but certainly not the best

Ronaldo Lucena - Hard working central midfielder at Atletico Nacional. Not sure what his peak is but definitely in the future for a club like Boca or River

Jefferson Savarino - Similar to Soteldo but a bit less. Plays for Real Salt Lake

 

A bit of a Venezuelan football lesson there :)

I'd actually like to see them qualify for the world cup one day. I'm pretty certain Bolivia qualified in the 30s or 50s or something so they are the only South American team not to ever qualify. They are better than they were 20 years ago. I remember them loosing 7.0 to Brazil in the Copa America.

Bolivia qualified in 1994 and were actually a fairly decent team then.

Venezuela should qualify in 2022 or 2026. They have an outrageously good young team for their standards.

Football's not even the most popular sport there is it? Baseball isn't it?

Baseball it is, but football is still fairly popular.

I'd add Martinez Quarta, Foyth and perhaps Santiago Caseres to our list, but other than that it looks decent.
