It's just that they have been fun to watch, even for a non-fan! Heck, the young U17 team was pretty great too. Any idea why they are not allowed to play for this Mexican team? I never understood that rule :/

The u17 team was good, but not Copa América level good. Plus their main focus was the World Cup, we didn't want the kids to get distracted.

OH GOD!!!! DAMN GOALPOST

EDIT: AND AGAIN!!!!!!

 

[clemenx]

Goalpost you son of a bitch.

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

I always get the impression that foreigners hold the Mexican National Team in better regard than us Mexicans. :lol

But yeah. We would have been title contenders if we had sent our main team.

wut? don't kid yourself

Sorry, I meant, why can't players from the main team play at the Copa America?

Edit - Oh wow, that was close :0

GUYS Paraguay and Venezuela played a group game together - that game gave us SIX FREAKIN GOALS.

 

[clemenx]

My heart has been broken.

 

[alterno69]

FUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[feel]

ñooooesumadreeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! aaaaahh

 

[Regulus Tera]

Because CONCACAF wanted the Mexican Federation to focus on the Gold Cup. And by that we mean that CONCACAF wanted Mexico to go to the final, because Mexico makes money for CONCACAF.

It's not like the European teams would have let us use our stars. I doubt Fergie would have been happy with Chicharito playing two international tournaments one after the other.

wut? don't kid yourself

Argentina was shite.
Brazil was shite.
Paraguay is shite.
Ecuador was shite.
Colombia was shite.

That's half of CONMEBOL that's shite. Plus, Mexico is playing great football nowadays.

I see, that sucks : [

 

[Regulus Tera]

The only good thing about this going overtime is that I don't have to watch Chivas getting demolished by Real Madrid. :/

 

[Noshino]

Damn Venezuela being a lot more offensive.

Hopefully Venezuela wins, they are far less predictable than Paraguay, it makes for a better match against Uruguay

 

[Fady K]

Venezuela working hard. Paraguay doesn't have to do much with that keeper of theirs saving the day yet again.

 

[Regulus Tera]

double yellow

Hopefully Venezuela capitalises this.

I get the opposite impression, especially from southamericans. They think Mexico is no better than any other CONCACAF team, and CONCACAF is the world's bottom tier. *shrugs*

Edit for clarity: I don't mean to generalize, I am talking about people I know.

 

[clemenx]

Fucking shit, we should've played like this the whole 2nd half.

20 mins with 1 more man. PLEASE SCORE.

 

[alterno69]

Yet since 1993 Mexico has a better Copa America record than any south american team except Brasil lol.

lol yeah, South America is definitely like that. But almost every European and American fan I talk too seems to like watching Mexico, and I'm all like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

They should. This is their chance! But Villar is too damn tough.

 

[feel]

Venezuela is totally dominating now. It's gonna suck real hard if this goes to penalties..... VAMOS!!!!

 

[EvaristeG]

lol yeah, South America is definitely like that. But almost every European and American fan I talk too seems to like watching Mexico, and I'm all like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

For guys like me it may be because of FM2011, Mexico becomes a god tier team after a few years in this game.

 

[Regulus Tera]

lol sure but against guadalupe, el salvador and freaking usa.

You South American dawg? :lol

 

[T Ghost]

Paraguay is pathetic...

 

[LuFel]

c´mon we want goals....!!!

 

[Regulus Tera]

Madguay

EDIT: Getting serious flashbacks to the Japan vs Paraguay game from the last World Cup.

 

[T Ghost]

Cowardguay. Nunca vi um time tão COVARDE como essa merda de Paraguay...

When your kid asks "Dad what anti-football means?"

You show him a PeorGuay game and say "This".

 

[clemenx]

Venezuela has never been on a penalty shootout. I'm pretty sure half of the country will die if we get to it. Regardless of what happens.

 

[Lonely1]

Paraguay! Go Veron!

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Please score Venezuela so I don't have to watch those Paraguay assholes anymore.

 

[EvaristeG]

How large is ParaGAF? It seems like nobody roots for Paraguay (I can see why).

 

[Clydefrog]

come on venezuela.. get rid of worstguay

 

[alterno69]

If Paraguay wins we all lose.

 

[inky]

Venezuela really deserves something out of this.

 

[Lonely1]

I root for them Because "Hechizero" Veron is playing for them.

 

[feel]

This.

And so unfair, Paraguay is nonguay right now.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I cannot believe this is the team that was one penalty away from kicking Spain out of the World Cup.

 

[Lonely1]

Paraguay, first team ever to win a mayor tournament without winning a single game. Go!

 

[T Ghost]

If Paraguay wins we all lose.

If PeorGuay wins Football loses.

 

[inky]

I root for them Because "Hechizero" Veron is playing for them.

Have I just ran into another Pumas fan? :O

I like Veron, but hate Paraguay's style all the same.

 

[feel]

5min, nooooo!! stay away you stupid penalties

 

[clemenx]

I cannot believe this is the team that was one penalty away from kicking Spain out of the World Cup.

To be fair. This is the worst Paraguay team in a LOOOONG time. I'm pretty surprised at how bad they are. They've always been a defensive squad but never quite like this.

 

[T Ghost]

I root for them Because "Hechizero" Veron is playing for them.

You are a BAD person

 

[EvaristeG]

To be fair. This is the worst Paraguay team in a LOOOONG time. I'm pretty surprised at how bad they are. They've always been a defensive squad but never quite like this.

But still, correct me if I'm wrong, their results in official competitions seem to be better than ever...

No, you show this:

Not even the best Veron with a magic-related nickname.

 

[Noshino]

Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, AND Colombia have had better records than Mexico...but whatever dude lol

Venezuela really deserves something out of this.

They have not only been playing better, but more fair as well.

Paraguay has been pretty nasty, even their fucking DT

 

[clemenx]

But still, correct me if I'm wrong, their results in official competitions seem to be better than ever...

Just the sort of twisted luck that you can have when playing futbol.

Or maybe they just decided to go all Greece on everyone.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Peorguay losing in penalties would be the ultimate schadenfreude.

FUCK

 

[clemenx]

I'm not ready for this.
