Tazio Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 No fans allowed in the Santos stadium tonight. So the fans improvised and dropped flares into the ground on parachutes. With one almost landing on the centre spot just before kick off. Mental. Quote

Tazio Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 WTF is the swimming cap about? I’ve never seen that before but it’s obviously what they do in South America instead of big bandages. Quote
Poseidon Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Looks like it needs some more work at half time! Quote

Tazio Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Quality red card for the Boca player. If you’re going to get sent off at least make the most of it. Quote
Jibbers Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Two cracking goals from Santos within 3 minutes and now a sending off for Boca. All over for them. Quote

Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Wee heads up. The final is on BBC iPlayer tonight at 8pm. Could be a cracking match if it anywhere near the standard of the semis. Quote
Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Just noticed it’s also on the BBC red button if you want to watch it on your telly but don’t have iPlayer set up on it. Channel 991 if you’re on Virgin. Quote

Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Worth watching for Soteldo the wee Santos number 10, loves a bit of cheeky play. Quote

There’s been some pretty hefty challenges, nearly every tackle has been a foul so far. I’ve high hopes of a mass pagger at some point. Edited January 30, 2021 by Tazio Quote

I’ve high hopes of a mass pagger at some point. If you are rolling around on the floor one second and then running about fine when the free kick isn't given, you are a diving shit in my books. There has been some strong challenges though, but they are all still over acting. 😉 Also, do you have to have shite tattoos to be a footballer in Brazil? Quote
Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Chile is the home off truly shit footballer tattoos. Their international team look like a Mexican prison team. Quote

I was a bit worried about that as big finals between teams from the same league are often a let down. Semis between Brazilian and Argentinian teams were fantastic with the different ways of playing. Santos v River Plate would have been a better match. Quote

Lovecraft Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 ****ing pish. Past caring about what happens in it. I'm off to sort my sock drawer or do the washing up. Quote
graygo Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Well that's what you call a late goal. 10 minutes into injury time. Edited January 30, 2021 by graygo Quote
Samuel Camazzola Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Coach just sent off then winner 9 minutes into injury time. Cracking cross and header! Old school goal! Quote
Tazio Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Where the hell were the Santos that pumped Boca in the semi? Or the Palmeiras who got pumped by River Plate in the 2nd leg? Total let down of a final all round. Quote
Sertse Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Something I've never really understood is the lack of a crossover between South American clubs and European clubs. If they play in South America they tend to stay there, same with Europe. The quality is extremely good. Are the sponsorship deals on par with Europe? Quote

The top ones tend to come over when they're pretty young. But I agree, with the money on offer in the European Leagues you would think more of the middle table sides would have a larger South American contingent. Quote
