I don't know if you or anyone here followed the games that have been played in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers? because the results are surprising!
Paraguay 2 - 1 Argentina. Ok Paraguay is playing home and that is an advantage but how come the best team in South America so far these days fail to beat them or even get a draw?
The other game between Brazil and Venezuela isn't any better because it ended with 1 - 1 draw which is a shameful result regarding the performance of both teams!
Today there was a match between Colombia vs Uruguay. Colombia led 1-0 in the first half. But Uruguay eventually won 3-2. Uruguay moved up to second place in the points table with the win. Colombia, on the other hand, moved from second place to third place. If Colombia had won today, they would have had 22 points, which would have equaled the points of Argentina, who are at the top of the points table.
Argendina deserved to lose against Paraguay in this game. They showed abysmall performance by making 9 shoots, and only 1 was on target. They were getting a lot of chances, but horrible at finishing. I must admit their gameplay can be easily predicted by their opponent. No creativity from their side. That's why i think they didn't look motivated after all, lose is a fair result for them.
Also, i'm feeling bad how Messi was blaming the referee as a coward. He should have a better attitude instead of blaming the referee, though, the ref was horrendous.
