River Plate are having a poor season, they are about to Sell Falcao, they are running out of Fowards, I can't see them Advancing to the next round.

Well the competition hasn't started yet, but I'm pretty sure Justin.TV can broadcast on the net. But if your live on Australia they play the comp on Setanta.

Everton!
Colo-Colo!
Universidad de Chile!

Do us proud

chiboygeorge · 28-12-2008, 08:36 AM

Grêmio ...over every one

chris louie II · 28-12-2008, 03:08 PM

I'm going to try and follow this tournament this season. It doesn't get much media coverage here so it's hard to. Do they have any official website in English?

I'll be rooting for Sao Paulo. Don't know why, but I liked them since I saw them in the FIFA Club World Cup a few years back.

Liverpöol · 28-12-2008, 03:10 PM

when is the comp restarting?

Liverpöol · 28-12-2008, 03:10 PM

and btw does Boca Juniors and co. use this comp? if so i'm going for the team Buenos Aires!

What about Mexican teams? They always perform well.......

PaulieMM · 28-12-2008, 05:14 PM

Go Nacional!!!

Weather130 · 28-12-2008, 05:58 PM

I always find it a little strange that Mexican teams are invited even though they aren't in the South American confederation. Not too sure if I like that but if it makes the tournament bigger than its alright. I do believe this is the only major tournament that is held in more than one confederation. By major I mean a tournament that people actually care about.

not all teams qualified yet. San Luis isnt a contider because they haven't qualified. They can be the underdogs. Though I do like San Luis and their playing style.

for Some reason, the Conmebol federations is run by a lot of Argentine and Uruguayan. At least for the Majority. The Mexican fed is very close with Argentina and South America. They bring in money because they are probably the highest paid Fed in South America and if you look at their league full of South Americans. I wilalalala could be the best three of Concacaf but Conmebol probably is afraid of Merging.

Mexico isn't in North America but yes it is the highest paid league in America but I think it should stay the way it is at the moment, Mexico needs to participate in this because there is no competition in their own Concacaf champions league.

Mexico is in North America, acording to FIFA and the Atlas Maps. But Culturally they aren't even though I can still point out the differences with South Americans and Mexicans. Specially in Style in football. As far as Competition, your probably right.

better hope is not America, they are arming themselves. They signed Chitiva, Pardo, and might sign Falcao. Falcao + Cabañas is deadly attack.

WinterHammer · 28-12-2008, 08:22 PM

yeah and we lack strikers Pipa estevez i think was sold to some mexican team and marcelo salas retired ;(

america also bought Bosejour one of the revelations of O'higgins Club in the chilean league..

Beansejour is a great Player. he is one of my favorites from Chile.

Weather130 · 28-12-2008, 08:42 PM

Having CONCACAF and CONMEBOL merge to create one massive American confederation would be awesome even if it hurt the USA's chances at qualifying for the World Cup. I would like the better competition.

So what are the chances this time around of a team winning this that is not from Argentina or Brazil?

QuikZilver · 28-12-2008, 08:47 PM

Its all about Caracas FC in Venezuela the other 2 teams I could care less.
