Copa América Brazil 2019

Clrnc

Qatar is a serious team. If they continue on this trajectory they will be decent in world cup

I only watched the highlights so i cannot tell if Qatar were decent or it's a reflection of the trajectory of the quality of South American football in this millennium.

Qatar just won the Asia Cup nothing to do with anything but their own quality. Also if you saw the highlights you must have seen the goals they scored? Should be proof enough they're a serious or decent team

Yep. Felix Sanchez and Xavi is doing some amazing team in their national academy and of course money helps

Clrnc

Class goal from Lodeiro.

I hope both you and Clarence are joking as there is no way you are expecting me to have made a judgement on the quality of Qatar's football based on watching the goals scored in a 10 minute highlight of one game.

jones

You dont need to be able to judge it but on the other hand if someone ie Clrnc calls them a serious team why the need to doubt him and say it might be just poor opposition.

Come off it Jones!
Which part of "i cannot tell" is doubting him?

jones

Clrnc calls them "serious"
You reply immediately afterwards you can't tell whether they are

No one else even talked about them 😆 even if it's not your intention what else do you think you're doing typing that response?

Bold Tone

My quote is clear and stands alone based on watching a highlight.
Of course there's a connection with Clrnc post as it's in the same thread just after watching the same match.
It's also not as if Clrnc is an authority on football whose judgement i should use to form my opinion.
Your white knighting is laughable.

jones

Mate calm down it's not that serious. I was simply agreeing that Qatar are a good team and dont understand why you'd express doubt when you haven't seen much of them.

Also aren't you too old for terms like "white knighting"?

Bold Tone

Calm down?
What makes you think i'm flustered?
My opinion hasn't changed.
I still cannot tell if Qatar are decent and my post was not about them but a trigger to a debate as to whether the quality of South American football this millennium has deteriorated.

As a replacement for white knight, what do you suggest i should call someone who does what you did?

Would be great if we had names in there to see who these South American and European teams are. What you will see is that South America is generally relatively strong but it really comes down to Brazil. Argentina had a golden age in the 70s and 80s, but if you want consistency of performance over the lifetime of the World Cup, then it's Brazil. Brazil has had challenges with its squad in the last decade, so it has really been about Europe, save for Messi trying to upset Germany in 2014. Europe is able to rotate in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, and recently Spain at a high level every World Cup

Claudius

Thanks, very helpful. Uruguay strong early on, but very much aligned to my original thoughts.

The Japanese brought an inexperienced squad and it looks like they will pay the price for it.

Good start for Chile in a difficult group.

Nil-nil.
At long last Brazil sub Casemiro who has been a lamp post for 55 minutes.
All he did was get in the way of his teammates who had to pass around him.
