Disco Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I can understand that. It would be wild to see England in something like this. I wonder how well you would do if you cared about it. We'd get fucking panned tbh. The players wouldn't know what hit them if they turned up in Argentina. --- Probably going to be $$$ i'd imagine again QBG.

Mike Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 How the f*** can Japan be a guest in a south american football tournament? I know they invite different teams all the time, but it just doesn't look right at all. Isn't there a decent Brazilian/South American population in Japan? Plus like Disco said, money money money. Japan watching hoping they do well, the rest of Asia watching hoping they get fucked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sao Paulo's only redeeming feature IMO that you can get cheap Japanese bait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they participate in the first place? wiki says: Since 1993, two teams from other confederations, usually from CONCACAF whose members are geographically and culturally close, are also invited. Nations receiving invitations are Costa Rica (1997, 2001, 2004), Honduras (2001), Japan (1999), Mexico (1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007), and the United States (1993, 1995, 2007). The United States had been invited every time from 1997 to 2007 but frequently turned down the invitation due to scheduling conflicts with Major League Soccer. However, on October 30, 2006, the US Soccer Federation accepted the invitation for participation in the 2007 tournament, ending a 12 year absence. At 2001 Copa América, Canada was an invitee, but on July 6, 2001 withdrew because of security concerns. + money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 "We are in the process of notifying CONMEBOL (South American football confederation) as we speak." So they decided to tell the press before CONMEBOL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Changed. Realised I'm on holiday for most of the group stage, fucking gutted tbh. Bit annoyed Colo didn't even get a sniff for the Argies. Better than Monzon and Parejo and at least on a par with Milito and Garay since he actually plays once in a while. Ditto its mad that Otamendi didn't get a call.

ponsaelius Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I find it absolutely disgraceful Colo didn't get a call tbh, especially looking at like you say some of the dross in that defence. Milito is held together with glue these days ffs, only in there because of the club he's contracted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The fact across the range of teams they've used 27 defenders over the past year speaks volumes like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
