I have no idea why we don't get these major events because they do elsewhere and in Spain for example, the Copa América is a major major event since always.

Guest Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I really want to win today, but if we proceed to lose to Chile in semi-finals, that will hurt. I can't stomach gifting Chile a final spot again. If Brazil beats Argentina then I probably shouldn't worry about them winning it, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point thinking in 3D like this, you never know what will happen. Just support your team and enjoy the ride. Fuck whatever Chile do, they might be your rivals but that should never come ahead of loyalty to your own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chile had 0 before 2015. I can't imagine them overtaking us in Copa's in such a short span of time. They have a pretty glorious history besides that as well. Not like Colombia and Ecuador who were nothing before the 1990's. I obviously want to win every game there is, but if we lose to Chile, its a disaster. If we beat them, it would be glorious. I do genuinely think they are winnable too, but I'm just worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peru has never had a leader in their history (did my research) like KING Vidal. One of the many reasons the peruvians are always jelly. Lol, it took us having a leader like Guerrero to getting to the World Cup in the first place. Here you are again taking a dig at our glorious history, we've had about 5 players better than Vidal and I can name them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 @Teso dos Bichos I'd recommend you watch some of Peru's game "a ras de cancha" before speaking nonsense like "Peru doesn't have a leader". They are very telling. I will link them at the end of this post. Vidal is a great player but a leader he is not. He is world class and I am jealous that we don't have a midfielder like him, but he's an idiot, and his attitude is poisonous. It's why Chile didn't qualify for the World Cup and why Bravo retired from the national team. If anything Sanchez is more of a leader than him, and both Sanchez and Vidal are Chile's 2 best players ever alongside Figueroa, Zamorano and Salas. You take a dig at our illustrious history knowing little about it, but our present as much as I love this team, do not represent the quality of the players in the 1970's and beforehand. Those teams had players that were world class and would be at Europe's top clubs if it was today. We could win or lose today, but it doesn't make any of the above untrue. We have perhaps the best captain in South America in Guerrero who also happens to be a bloody good footballer. He's difficult and dare I say not a great person, but he gets his team performing. Both when he spearheads the line, and tells his teammates to man up constantly. Here is the video. There are plenty of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they are entirely to blame, moreso the new rules which have been a disaster so far. We probably should have gone out today. We were god awful, but I'll take another semi-final spot against a team not named Brazil any day of the week. 100% in penalties and our first penalty shootout win in history.

Apparently I was wrong on the whole body counting for offside. I could have sworn it only applied to feet. However, the linesman must now raise their flags after the play is finished. It will apply as of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations @Grizzly21 Now you face Chile Yeah that's football. We were very lucky to get out of that alive, but still. That goes for everyone who thought we would get pumped and that Uruguay was "free money". Chile is tough, but I'm not scared of them. Uruguay is a better team. We won't face the wall that is Godin and Gimenez (both impeccable today). We will however, face a better midfield, and ours is our weakest link. I do think if we can grind against Uruguay, we can grind against Chile. I still do think we have to perform better than today though. Luck won't always go our way!

Uruguay's main issue as far as I'm concerned is the same one Atlético Madrid under Diego Simeone suffer from which is that they are reticent to want to take the bull by the horns in games and attack. It's all about an analytical speculative outlook from the start and relying on the fact that they're so so comfortable defending like other famed teams are keeping possession of the ball. It's the same psychosis although beit a completely different visual experience and outlook on how to get results. Uruguay have talented midfielders but they choose to play that way because it's their way and that's all there is to it. They'll never change and neither should they because when you consider the population of that country by comparison to other competitive football nations, they're a bloody miracle.
