Guest Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 As of 2019. Despite the fact that Lima is the candidate to hold the final in 2019, I am still completely against this idea.

South America doesn't have the transportation that Europe does, plus some really small teams have reached the final in the past. If we ever get a final between Boston River and Sportivo Luqueño played in Bogota, the stadium will be empty. Lets not also forget the altitude in some cities.
El Profesor Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 This is terrible news. It is such a bad idea. South american football doesn´t need to be exactly like european football, actually Copa Libertadores is so charming because in many ways it´s very different from what we see in Europe. Unfortunately though, we have to copy north americans and europeans in everything for the sake of modernization. I truly hate it. It won´t take long before Conmebol thinks it´s a good idea to take the final to Miami.
ScoRoss Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 7 teams from Brazil? Why do they have so many? Seems an unnecessary expansion.
ScoRoss Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I understand the reasoning for the Two-Legged Final, with the traveling logistics, but it just can't have the same feeling as a one-off occasion. Especially when the two legs are three weeks apart!

Almost every continent is a 2 legged final, and besides its better to win it in front of your own fans then have to travel for some artificial atmosphere

The expansion has actually worked quite well, but I don't like the lack of originality as its basically just copying the UCL for the sake of marketing. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't complain so much. They should have just given 4 to every nation and maybe 5 to Argentina and Brazil. 7 is a bit overkill. More than half the league qualifies for a continental competition.

More than half the league qualifies for a continental competition. If they cut it down to three per nation, and had the previous winners and the Sudamericana, then you would instantly have 32 teams and could avoid all these qualifying rounds and cut down the dates required. Just seems they are giving in to the big countries and making it almost impossible for a big club to fail and qualify. It would also removed a lot of dates required for the qualifying rounds and potentially then could get rid of these staggered matches. Why not just have agreed dates when matches must be played instead of scheduling over all these weeks?

It's unfair as fuck, we are the country with the most titles in both Libertadores and Sudamericana yet they give Brazil more slots because they have a bigger population, only because of that. Because bigger population = more potential viewers = more money.

Don't know why it hasn't been done sooner tbh. Alright, but considering ray-gun carrying Muslims practically own England there's also a good argument they should takeover and replace your beloved pies with kebabs from this summer onwards.

Smiley Culture Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Having had a two-legged final, IMO, you were getting a more even playing field for both teams, whereas with a one legged final, you’ll inevitably get sides moaning about playing at altitude or below sea level and not having a chance to take that side back to their place.

You won't find much of "below sea level" in South America, but altitude is a problem in some cities (particularly in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia). I agree though, there is also some cities with some really bad heat like Barranquilla or Caracas. If it was one legged, you could really only play the final in the following cities: Santiago, Lima, Medellin, Buenos Aires, Rosario, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Porto Alegre without some sort of issue regarding heat or altitude, that or the stadiums just fall to pieces. Besides, who would want to go to Venezuela in their current situation for a final? EDIT: We'll see how many people turn up in Kyiv this season. Maybe that'll answer my question.
