people a lil side note. Bolivia actually win a game. They beat Paraguay 4-2. Doh mind they play the game up in the sky.
Couple comments ...
Paraguay did not have significant altitude prep before this game ... unlike Chile who did ... schedule didn't permit it ... altitude appears to matter ... however, that stated, Bolivia hasn't qualified in 15 years ... altitude is not the controlling factor in qualifying ...
Although Bolivia lost to Chile they played a wicked game tactically ... it wasn't a loss that left you thinking nutten can come of this ... and thus this BOL-PAR result was one of the outcomes I referred to above as lending parity to the table ... a couple others happened as well ... the BRA-ARG tie ... and the ECU-COL tie ...
All this leaves Colombia as the only undefeated team ... (my view is that eh go last long ... buh it is wha it is)
Paraguay may be Brazil's nemesis but Bolivia in Bolivia is Paraguay's nemesis ... iz donkey years that table eh turned ... still Martino made sensible tactical changes (almost similar to Bielsa's with respect to timing and type)
Paraguay are the real losers this rounds ... those 3 points would have set them apart ...
A result in today's game will really make things interesting ... Right now I'm giving Chile the edge b/c of Bielsa
