Why are the South Americans so good?

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Uruguay anyone?

[Cripple Creek]

Quite seriously, the South American diet is rich in fruit and vegetables and non saturated fats and low in E numbers. They also have a lower rate of colectoral cancer which basically proves my point.

[papereyes]

or even spoken too soon

With two groups to go

Europe 6/14
North America 2/3
South America 5/5
Africa 1/6
Asia 2/3
Oceania 0/1

At this juncture

No simple answer, but Futsal is proven to improve skill and technique and is universally played in nearly all South American countries at junior level.

11 4 1 23 7 now with Uruguay in the Quarters. Next up = Argentina/Mexico tomorrow night.

[Archie's penalty]

12 4 1 26 8, 2/2 teams through to the quarters. Brazil Chile tomorrow so that will be 3/4 through. Paraguay beat Japan and the continent will have 4/8 quarter finalists.

[Einstein agogo]

they're not really ! it's just that every tv pundits gets their cock out and tosses themselves off everytime brazil play coz of what happened in 1970...
the truth !

[Archie's penalty]

Brazil trounce Chile but still 3/4 teams through. Brazil/Argentina/Uruguay all very impressive so far. Will Paraguay beat Japan?

13 4 2 29 11.

[Archie's penalty]

4 quarter finalists from South America. Is this a record?

[Baines]

Bump

[Arch]

An all 'Guayan final, anyone?

There's the key and why we are so far behind. Same with a southern European diet.

Not sure how you explain Germany though...

So...

4 quarter-finalalists become 1 semi-finalist and that only after the most blatent example of cheating/gamesmanship this world cup has seen. Suddenly, it doesn't look so impressive does it?

[RoyalChicagoFC]

And now the hopes of an entire continent ride on the shoulders of...Uruguay!

[Archie's penalty]

Can't wait for the semis. I think the Uruguyans have a real chance against Holland. Not impressed with the Dutch so far. The only total football side so far have been....Germany.
