I haven't been following this tournament at all. Are those players based in Europe participating? Are Brazil and Argentine having to field a weak side due to absence of any stars?

 

nope, full strength. Tevez, Messi are all involved. Or Were.

Both Argentina and Brazil out.

 

Semi Final line up is

 

Uruguay vs Peru

Paaguay vs Venezuela

 

Have to say shocks in all 4 quarter finals, with Colombia & Chile also falling with Brazil & Argentina. Looks like Uruguay will be favourites now but the way things are going, it could be any one of those four.

I haven't seen Kaka, maybe he's injured. Lucio, Fred, Pato, Robinho, Lucas (!), Naymar etc etc have all been playing though.

playing too much football no doubt, plus the European based players have difficulty playing with the home based players, happens in

the African Nations Cup as well. Now wasn't someone telling me just the other day that you could put Messi into any old side and he'd turn up trumps for you ?

Brazil just been knocked out in the QFs are missing ALL four penalties in the shoot-out.

Paraguay win 2-0 on pens.

 

I've never seen that before, from any team.

1986 European Cup Final, our chums Steaua did the same to Barcelona, won 2-0 on pens.

Messi was very quiet in the first two games and excellent in the third. pretty much summed up the Argies overall. I didn't see the QFwhere they went out but I think Uruguay defended brilliantly and Argentina weren't that bad in the QF

 

As for Brazil the penalty shoot out against Paraguay summed up how good they've been in front of goal in this tournament

I see also that Arsenal have apparently signed Joel Campbell, the Costa Rican youngster that looked very impressive
