Well 1 point doesn't seem like a lot. but here in South America the qualifiers are very difficult and long. earning a visitor point is very good. now it remains to win the 2 home games that are coming. On this triple date, getting 7 points out of 9 would be very good. you have to look at the points that are obtained in a more global way. Uruguay has a more accessible match this Sunday, while in the other matches there are important duels (such as Brazil vs Argentina).

I know that your system is different and that all teams are in one group and that everybody need to play with teams!I know that before you had four direct teams on world cup and fifth play with team from oceania!right? I know that every point is matter and you need to collect early as much as you can!

exactly. That's how it is. and the video games are usually very difficult. Each country has, in some way, (in addition to the support of the public now that they are allowing access) its way of taking advantage of the locality. For example, Bolivia as a local plays at high altitude and it is almost impossible to breathe. there are teams that carry oxygen tanks. Colombia plays at times when the heat is unbearable. things like that make this qualifying very difficult. that's why every point counts.

yes,I know for that problem when some team come to bolivia,that they have problems to play because of air,but for last year bolivia is very bad as national team,so other teams dont have many problems to win,even with this thing with air!we will see how your team will play in next two games!

there is nothing safe in this life, and less in football. the odds are in Uruguay's favor, but overconfidence is the worst. so you have to go without disrespecting your rival and being cautious. I hope it can be won easily. We need these 3 points. it would also be a mental boost for Thursday's game.

I understand that,but you have much better players then bolivia and when you will expect three points,then when you play at home against this kind of teams?you must collect as much as you can points at home,in early stage,then you dont have big presure when you have only few games till end!

of course. Even today's lineup is much more offensive than the one our Soccer Coach uses. it will be a 4 3 3 (normally he plays 442). precisely because he is a rival to win. the points that Bolivia normally obtains, it does as a local. away they usually lose, and we cannot give that advantage to the rest of the rivals. we will see it tonight. first play brazil vs argentina!

Well finally Uruguay won 4-2. Those 2 away goals are the bitter taste of the game, because we were playing well and we could have scored more goals. but defensive horrors and a rather dubious penalty did this. anyway, 3 points needed. on the other hand, what happened between Brazil and Argentina was an embarrassment. Disastrous

So I was right about your game,that this will be sure game with lot of goals!bolivia just dont have players,no matter that you dont have best players,like cavani and suarez! I couldnt believe what happen with brasil and argentina game,that they stopped in 10. minute,because of 4 players from argentina!they could do this much earlier,because their team was for 3 days in brasil!why they hell they waited for so long?

yes, sometimes one does not mean that it was an easy game, but in reality it was. you had to win and beat. unfortunately we suffered two goals. what about brazil and argentina is incredible. they could act before and they didn't. Those 4 Argentine players were also said to have lied to immigration in the affidavit.

Yes, a lot of things were done wrong. But I also heard other versions: when Argentina arrived in Brazil, they already told her at the airport that they couldn't be there. They ignored. then at the hotel, a second warning. before the game, a third warning. the next was to intervene using force

yes,I know for this informations,that they asked them on airport,but how hard is to see time period from last weekend of premier league and this trip to brasil?even kid would know that it didnt pass 14 days,so how the hell you allow them to enter in country and to stay for three days and then when game start,now you make problems?

So I think everything was prepared in advance. even brazil disaffected the premier league players. Uruguay did the same with Cavani. Argentina no. He wanted to take advantage of it, see if nothing happened in their case. I think there is fault on both sides. I don't know what FIFA will decide or when.

It must be decided by FIFA, and not CONMEBOL. Furthermore, our association in South America has already said that they will not decide anything. I do not know what will happen, but within all it is about teams that are practically classified. it would have been worse if it were other national teams. at least know something to be more prepared for next month and the same does not happen with Uruguay
