Yes, we finally reached the level of boredom of EURO...

as serious, all NT competitions are starting very slow, the NTs that are supposed to be top still seeking a better formation, much fear of loss... The middle competition gets better, but after bad starts perhaps it is time to imagine a short group stage.

At least, we must hope a quick Uruguay-Brasil-Argentina crossing and drama due those bad starts...

Is that so? That's why we could beat your country any day anytime. In Europe there's much more competition to qualify in Euros, but you guys don't even have to qualify to get in a boring Copa like this. In fact, most European teams could easily do good in a Copa like this one.

Actually, Euros are more entertaining than World Cups, or so it has been for a decade or so now.

Euro2000 was great, Euro2004 was not so great, but it had some great matches as well. It had a contender for match of the past 20 years, Czech Republic-Holland game that is.

Euro2008 was great, high-scoring Dutch team dismantling France and Italy, and then getting beaten comprehensively by Russians. Spain playing really entertaining football with chances galore, and outplaying Russians. It was a great tournament.

WCs are more prestigious, but for entertainment value, it was long long ago when a World Cup matched a Euro.

Let me see: You think what you think is right. Therefore you think all you think like you. Then you mention a handful of games, some scoring team and assume that was "very" good and people loved it like you did. Good.

I agree, and I always am and will be more excited to watch any Euro than a Copa America. I mean, everyone automatically qualifies, while for Euros it's a very tough,long process in qualifying. And if/when you do qualify, it feels worth it like you accomplished something just by making it to the Euro. But Copas have some bad teams there that bring down the level of competition to make it more boring. Maybe if the Copa cut out a couple teams the quality would be better in matches making us more entertained and not bringing this entire subject of the thread up.

It is a easy long and boring process of classification which does not cut down enough teams. And the amount of teams in Cup is the same for while, the qualit yof competition and fun of games is not the same on every tournament, so having 1,2 more or less teams is not the problem.

Why single those two countries out? There are plenty others. :D

With our current state, I think we would be able to finish 8th/9th in those 10-team South American World Cup qualifying groups. In Copa America, we would definetly be able to beat Bolivia and Costa Rica in Group A, I'm sure.

Costa Rica does not participate of the Conmebol qualifications.

Venezuela that was the worst team, is giving problems now.

And I would love to see any european team beat Bolivia at 4700 meters of altitude or even to play against Ecuador, COlombia on altitude.

And then get "welcoming" environments in Santiago, Defenores Del Chaco (such a friendly place), Monumental del Nunez and the Centenario... it is so "easy" to play in those places.

Good luck:thumbsup::drunk:

Nope, Euro is a copy of Copa America, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Rilvaldo, etc. never played in EURO. Really lacks tradition.
