CONMEBOL WORLD CUP 2026 QUALIFIERS SEPTEMBER REVIEW | BOLIVIA HISTORIC WIN | BRAZIL ARE STILL BADDD

Intro welcome people back to the Michael talks football channel and we are here with gaball my dog is going crazy in the background and gaball decided to have a crazy crazy week because Bolivia and Shout out I can only find this green kit in my kit collection picked up six points first off Round of Applause for Bolivia I I mean what they just achieved is nothing short of Sensational and chileo they need a minut of a silence cuz they are dead right now we going to talk about is Bea found out because Uruguay they got two draws but zero goals yeah they conceded zero goals as well but it wasn't a good performance from them and sesa it seems like we do this every time when we do a recap of the qualifiers are just taking L after L after L and it's not looking good and Colombia I mean hamz should be winning balandor in my opinion but of course we are joined by rank rank describe this week Inon in one word Madness what what we saw this week that doesn't make sense like we're going to have to keep it brief because we could be here like for for like two hours with everything that happened people who don't like the international break they don't know what they're missing out on like AFC and now kable like it's going insane uh this week was just mental with everything that went down and a lot of talking points now yeah lots of lots of talking points so people get your talking points in the comments down below AR Chile dead or Peru one of the worst national teams in the world right now cuz what I saw from them was horrific and where would you rank Colombia now are they a top three team in national team football and describe Bolivia in one word because they might have just went away from altitude Merchants to sea level Merchants so we're going to first talk about match day seven okay rank I think we got to Bolivia 4-0 Venezuela describe this in one way were Venezuela just terrible or is it because of the altitude they lost 40 because you can lose to Bolivia in L Al and of course the craziest thing about that game was when Bolivia came out with the lineup there were six players from always ready six so they were used to The Climate they were used to the altitude they knew exactly what they were doing and it turned out to be a perfect plan from them and look I don't want to hear people blaming Bolivia Bolivia did what had to do they they said we're going to qualify no matter what and they destroyed Venezuela and Venezuela I think Batista got that completely wrong lineup tactically just everything went completely to [ __ ] for Venezuela and they got destroyed so are you going to blame it more on Batista or the conditions of the game I think it's a combination of factors because even at the Copa America we saw that Batista wasn't really getting the start of the game right uh most often than not it was mostly his adaptations during the halftime or whatever see substitutions that changed the game for Venezuela and made it so they could get results uh so I think that like you said he didn't approach this game right he didn't know what Vol uh what Venezuela's lineup should be to better adapt to the altitude and to better approach this game knowing what Bolivia were playing for um but also I think that just for nil is the altitude you cannot explain it any other way because like you said you can lose to Bolivia on the road one two nil it's not a big deal 4 nil is like okay you got completely destroyed because your lineup wasn't right your tactics weren't right and also you were like struggling to breathe because the conditions up there make no sense um and also Bolivia do something really well and is taking advantage of the other aspects of the altitude like the very thin air the ball moves different than we saw that in the first goal it was an amazing goal but like that goal you can only do in the altitude like the ball moves different it catches goalkeepers off guard um and yeah it was just crazy it was massive for for Bolivia it was what they needed they need to win as many home games as they can because that's the only hope they have to overtake the teams that are below them but for Venezuela listen these were three points that you could afford to lose no it was a bit of a humiliation on Venezuela's part but I can't really blame them because just the altitude I mean we saw you sent me the photos of the stadium the seats were breaking maybe because of the altitude as well it was craz but the the seats were made of like uh that foam they weren't like real seats was insane they like f seats onto this onto the concrete it was craziness no bro now Bolivia just said we're just going to take this to the most extreme level and hey I don't blame them and winning 4-0 like that's crazy okay I can understand like 2-n and Venezuela not um used to the altitude it's a bit of a harsh conditions but fordal is a bit like okay you know what maybe Bolivia have changed maybe we're seeing a new Bolivia and shout out to their one of their goal scorers terceros who plays for Santos in Brazil even though they're in division B nowadays Santos which is still saddening to hear but he was he scored a great goal and they scored some beautiful team goals and obviously they have the speed they're used to the climate so they just used all that to their advantage and they destroyed Argentina 3-0 Chile Venezuela artina just destroyed Chile but the most amazing aspect of this game I would say is just the Midfield their pressing absolutely suffocated Chile Chile had no I think they had one shot the entire game one chance so Chile you just tell that they don't have the quality they couldn't match with Argentina Argentina had the quality and Alvarez's goal I mean dude has been poor I would say at the start of the Season he Unleashed all his frustration and anger on that shot with that goal losso that he scored and I it was such a comfortable Victory rank yeah yeah it was I mean the first half I think it was a bit shaky on our part we played like good for the first 25 minutes or so but we really weren't creating any dangerous opportunities and we were Str struggling to get that first goal which is usually what we need to kind of like really boost up and completely roll over the opposing team and after that I felt like Chile grew into the game a bit they hit the post uh towards the end of the first half they were the ones holding possession and I was like okay some adaptations are needed and like in the second half we just come out the G swing in mallister with that first goal brilliant assist uh from Julian also L like letting the ball pass him uh amazing team goal and like you said after that the Midfield just took over and Chile had absolutely no chance that second half was a a masterful display of the football that Argentina can play and yeah it was just a a one-sided show after that and like you said that julang go I think that he's just comfortable in that Stadium it may have to do but yeah after that we saw like a few good cameos I was very happy to see theala coming in after you know he hadn't been called up uh originally and he came into the squad he were in the number 10 he gets to come on makes a good C scores a goal I was super happy for him because he deserves it um but yeah a lot of positive signs for arena especially with the adaptations in that second half we played another fantastic game and look Chile are on a mess of themselves but uh this was a very very dominant performance especially that second half and yeah I think it was a pretty convincing win not much to comment on that one no yeah I don't think there's much to comment because Chile offered nothing in this game and Argentina were just domination domination and that's what they've become at home except against Uruguay back what was it October or November last year that's been only flaw so far until we get to the next matchday but yeah aena were masterful I thought in the second half just they just took it to a different gear I feel like the first half was a bit little bit slow paced they were allowing Chile to just be in the game and then they said oh cool you had your little fun Chile now this is how the big boys play and they just absolutely destroyed them Uruguay 0-0 Paraguay rank is found out I think he is this this is something that I said when BSA became coach of uru that I think that he's an amazing coach he's a great tactician he's a genius of our Sport and of Our Generation but he's a bit too stubborn like when when he was the coach of Argentina that's what brought us down at the 2002 World Cup that he was just too over relied on one system and a different a set of squad players that just weren't up to the task at the moment and it's happening again with urai at the start it looks fantastic like he has all this Dynamic play attacking free flowing football gig and pressing that looks amazing beautiful on the eye um but once you get figured out BSA doesn't have a plan B and he refuses to go down to a plan B because he loves his plan a and one team once teams actually figure out what he wants to do we see stuff like this game obviously there was a lot of uh things going around this game with uh being's last game for uru so like I feel like also the fans and the players itself were like a lot more focus on that and actually giving Suarez a good sendoff but there was a game being played and I think that uru didn't really create many threatening chances and Paraguay's slow block was being very complicated for them to actually break through and in the end Paraguay ended up being the team that created the better chances they hit the post twice in this game like with a bit more luck Paraguay would have walked away from here with three points as well um so it really wasn't a good performance for R way obviously they have a lot of suspended players that's another topic I was just going to ask you do you think they were missing D Darwin in this game because they it's always been for in my lifetime at least that Uruguay always have that Vocal Point of a Striker from Cavani foran Suarez and dwin has emerged as that as that guy even though he didn't have the greatest CP America but I feel like they were missing him in this game cuu he just can't do the pressing he's he's at that age and it was his last game even though he hit the post he almost scored ridiculous go with that volley he almost scored a ridiculous goal it would have been beautiful it would have been his 70th goal as well for the national team to like get a round man might as well might as well stick to 69 nice yeah maybe it is like the suspensions and especially the loss of Darwin who is currently still the top goal scorer of the qualifiers uh it could have been a key player that urug were missing for sure but in terms of the tactics like at least uru would have created more chances uh even if it was for a player who wasn't able to score them it felt like they they really didn't know how to break parag low block and you have to give massive credit to Alfaro we're going to get to it later but yeah um listen it wasn't a good performance for uru they're gonna have to improve they're going to qualify for the World Cup obviously but if they want to actually be one of the contenders at that World Cup they're gonna have to show better than this and they're gonna have to show V is gonna have to show that he can do more than one style because if you're a one trick pony it really doesn't work out because teams are going to come out with this style of play and yeah they just screwed one thing I I just don't really understand is why isn't Luciano Rodriguez getting any minutes that's one thing that really baffles me well he didn't get any minutes in this game so it was really weird because you need some you had something you had to bring something different Bist and Aro were doing nothing they they couldn't beat the man and Gustavo Gomez and alderete they were just having a field deal with Suarez because they know he can't move in the Box obviously he had that one chance but Suarez was pretty quiet and really just not involved at all I think it was pretty easy for paguay to defend the whole entire time so yeah look great point for Paraguay going away Gustavo alvado we're gonna talk about him later and what he's done so far because getting four points in this window for Paraguay I was going to say that Anna Valencia should retire and then we're going to talk about what he did later Brazil 1-0 Ecuador but this game I think it's more on Ecuador than Brazil cuz we know with Brazil like every time we say this the Midfield is just garbage it's garbage there's no quality I mean Uruguay's Midfield would be starting for Brazil Brazil don't have that quality and every time we get to an international window it's always I just see Neymar Neymar Neymar Neymar Neymar Neymar it cannot just be that one guy is going to fix this problem Neymar is not going to fix this problem yes they won one nil it was a deflected goal by Rodrigo and Ecuador had all of the that andard Valencia had that one chance in the second half where he send it back to Kito I'm like dude just go just retire just please the dude was a rotten and and Soo in that game and then there was that uh chance in the first half where I'm like oh my God Kevin Rodriguez placed it through to Moises cedo not not the guy you really want the ball to land to was Moises cedo and thatter you know they TR created some second half chances but it wasn't really anything threatening to Brazil but it's average from Brazil like there's nothing more to say it's average from Brazil and were you a bit more I wouldn't say impressed by Ecuador cuz obviously it was big assist his first game or you just like ah this is the same Brazil over and over again no yeah it really feels at this point that nothing's changing with Brazil the international Windows keep on coming and it's just the same what been seeing with Doral Jr at the helm listen this game was probably the worst of the whole week even though we had other two nil nil draw this one was just footballing wise it was painful to watch um because especially with what we expected from both of these teams uh with the quality that they have but yeah Brazil got that Rodrigo goal it was was like really good even though it was a deflection but it was like one moment of Brilliance and Brazil really didn't create anything during this game and it felt during this entire game that if Ecuador just pushed a little bit more they could get a result they should have gotten a result um but yeah this result is on Ecuador because th this Brazil team is really beable we we saw it many times already home away it doesn't matter where you play them Marana Manos you play them anywhere you can beat this Brazil yeah that that's the main thing that this Brazil team ain't scary anymore um and yeah it was a really a missed opportunity for Ecuador where they could have gotten a very valuable Point uh but it seems that they just didn't have them in them to just push forward and try to take more risks uh Ander Valencia yeah he missed that one chance but also he didn't he barely had any delivery he was battling his way through many Defenders at times because he couldn't get the ball in a good position he was dropping back into Midfield and Ecuador were just dropping so low that they never had any initiative to go forward afterwards um and so that really costed him this game but it was just horrible to watch Brazil in that second half just hoofball like trying to throw the ball as far as they could and the fans like whistling and mumbling even though they were winning uh it was just a horrible sight all around for the celesa just seeing how far Brazil has fallen uh footballing wise not much else to say it was a horrible game Brazil won because of one single moment of brilliance and eor are going to be very disappointed because they really could have gotten something this game had they been more a bit more Brave I can't really fold be assessa too much because he's only getting started but it really feels like nothing has changed ever since Felix Sanchez left and it's not it's not great sign so far for for eador at least in in terms of the football Brazil at this point are just a Nike product but the Nike tick is the wrong way that's what they are I you're just getting the wrong you're getting so much promise you hear the celes out you're thinking boom LV quality Gucci quality and instead you're just getting a fake Gucci from the streets of Bangkok or somewhere I mean this is just horrendous over and over again and like you said the second half I mean I don't know if I was watching Brazil or bufana bufana I don't know which team I was watching actually you know what South Africa Playa probably play better football than these guys at this moment it was Shawn D didn't make sense it was Shawn D so wow D B is the Shawn D of Brazil who knew okay and then the last game of this match day Peru and Peru 1-1 Colombia Colombia 1on1 all I have to say is okay Peru have no attack but they look good on set pieces and Colombia were terrible the first half and when they decided to play football they created chances but you know there's nothing I can say about Peru we I it's like Brazil every we is going to be the same thing they're horri and this national team take a break for two years just reassess yourself and say you know what guys we are just terrible we need to fix our eies we need to look at rank's video and talk about the kopa Peru and discuss everything about this national team because yeah you took the lead good you're only dangerous in set pieces that's it so and Colombia they get a point they didn't play their best but I'm not really going to criticize him I mean I I think I feel like this was Peru's Last Chance honestly um in the last video they got they still gotta play Bolivia at home I mean that I'll give Peru that they still gotta play Bolivia at home Chile at home as well like they have a few matches that they can actually win um so and basically like we've seen in these qualifiers if you get a one win a a very well timed win you're back in the race like that's why Peru aren't out of it at just yet but this was a massive opportunity that they let sleep because it's not every day that you're gonna be ahead against Colombia a team that had hadn't lost like for the last two years up until the cup America final so like Colombia don't lose often and you were up in the second half like I know that Peru is extremely limited and that you basically have no players that can do much of anything um it's very hard for this Peru team currently once you were one the LA you have to keep that result no matter what no matter the way even if you have to keep Gales making some crazy saes just get the result and move on no matter how horrible how horrible it looks um and they couldn't even do that which was like very sad to see playing at home um James Rodriguez coming off the bench and getting a a pre assist but basically an assist for Luis Diaz that equalizer for colia which saves a point and and yeah it's just sad to see for Peru because we are at the cop America and now we're also seeing like some SS that maybe they with a few more things going their way they could get it done but this this team is just so incredibly limited and yeah they had this opportunity to get massive three points at home and they couldn't close it out and yeah it's just unfortunate for them but I would just say that you know Peru they have a good goalkeeper like G say is that guy's a quality goalkeeper we've seen it for many years now he's quality defensively they're good but the Midfield and attack is so abysmal I mean San Marino scored a goal from open play and Peru can't I obviously you know his level of competition that sort of stuff but still they're just so limited and I'm I'm sick and tired of saying lapadula what has lapadula done in the last two years please tell me what has he done in the last two years his last competitive goal was two years ago you know what he doing rank he's living off the cop America in 2021 that's it he's got that three goals from that cop America and he said cool I'm Peruvian for life I can start forever I mean somebody there's got to be some dude from sporting Crystal I mean get a dude from K at this rate cuz lapadula he's not going to offer you anything I think he's like 33 34 years old if you're going to play on the Counterattack like fatti wants to do playing the most dinosaur football possible then get a pacy Striker but Colombia when you can bring off jamus Rodriguez yaser aspila and yon Duran Off the Bench I mean that's just quality right there and there's nothing you can do all right and then match day eight decided to turn into absolute Carnage Colombia 2-1 Argentina with results Gore everywhere with bizarre results and historic results we had the cup America final rematch you obviously did the watch along for it and obviously I watched the whole game I thought it was just a great football match I think that's more that you can definitely say that these two teams are a top five International teams in the world they just play such good football there was intensity you obviously had Debo hitting the camera at the end of the game for being frustrated don't be like that Debo you can you can give it to people but you can't take it yourself don't act like that bro obviously you don't think it was a penalty for Colombia no no no I I I think if it was it was like extremely soft I feel like endi barely touches Muno in the inside the Box M Muno he definitely sold it well obviously he's Munos was looking for a role in Hollywood but I think Ali you can't be making that challenge I mean he didn't get the ball right so that's I think that's I think that's what thear was saying that oh you didn't get the ball you got a little bit of Munos and obviously Muno sold it well and they got the penalty and obviously Hames I don't think you can really be disappointed if you're Argentinian you're just like you know what they're a good team they're at home we'll beat them when they come to buen oire so I don't are you really disappointed no no I'm not disappointed I feel like overall uh in how the game played out I I feel like we didn't deserve to lose it was I feel like a draw would have been fair in this game uh we could have scored a few goals I I believe we had more chances than Colombia um Lao and julan had many opportunities we were pressing up very well in the first half I feel like Colombia was having a lot of issues trying to play out from the back because of our press and yeah we created many opportunities to do that obviously Colombia then in the Counterattack when they were already out they also created many opportunities D Martinez in the final few minutes made another like save like against K against John Duran it was exactly the same save if you look at it yeah um so colia definitely could have scored a third as well so I think that it was just a very close game between two of the best national teams in the world at the moment and Colombia obviously being boosted by the determination to get revenge and the home atmosphere barania being insanely hot the travel distance so long for Argentina uh so there were a lot of factors that played into this result and I feel like overall the game was very intense it was very close and look it was fine margins that gave Colombia the win but I'm not really disappointed with our performance I feel like we just met a very very good team in a hostile atmosphere and we lost um it's not like I'm worried is it's our third loss in our last 64 games like you cannot really be mad about it and in those 64 games we' won four profit so like uh you cannot really be mad about taking another loss you are gonna lose eventually you cannot win every game um and I think that yeah Colombia they just have so much quality and under n Loreno they've been fantastic so listen it was a great game of footb we move on and yeah for Colombia at least Colombians can be happy that they won this game I think that we won the most important game but of course of course a little bit of shade a little bit of shade there a little bit of shade I like it I like it no but overall I think James the left foot is just magical the cross he put in for mosa was so pinpoint that dble didn't even know what to do with it he just saw just a bright light and that bright light was the ball right on the cabesa for mosa there he could not miss it and then the penalty was fantastic as well sending uh dble the wrong way so overall I don't think Colombia played the best because I think Lucho was really quiet in the game and you guys really nullified their attack but you know when you got guys like Rich Rios and obviously Munos and moika and these sort of guys like Colombia just have a squad it's not even just about a good 11 they have a squad and they have youngsters who are really good as well so the future the present is looking really good for Colombia and I'm really excited to see what they can do in 2026 if they can keep this up and they can just keep building confidence keep building the confidence why can't they make it to a semi-final of the World Cup I mean they got everything they got defens although I would say that defensively on counters they did look a little bit shaky yesterday obviously mosa hasn't played a lot of games with the national team I think it was only his third or fourth appearance so he didn't look the best I thought but he still got the goal but overall I think you're you're fair that saying that a draw was a fair result but one team has hamus and the other team didn't and that was a Difference Maker in yesterday's game I was surprised though dybala didn't get any minutes yeah dybala came off the bench really late like I don't know like 85th minutes it was insane I didn't know what what up with with that um Lelo came off come off the bench earlier like I really felt like it was a game for theala because we were we had an extra midfielder for the entire game I felt like y especially during the first half Eno Paredes didn't touch the ball I felt like so one of them out and get another attacker but yeah um Decisions by Escalon you know I'm not gonna hold him but it is of course not I mean I think he's got enough baggage in in his bag right now to get to make a little bit of a mistakes right there okay and then Ecuador I mean Ander Valencia you finally scored a goal when Ecuador 1-0 Peru was the rank rank when was the last time enner Valencia scored in Kito must have been ages ago like wait I actually don't remember I I should have had this that St 2017 was the last time Anna Valencia scored in Kito and that finally he finally scored okay overall even though Ecuador I thought were a little bit disappointing against Brazil I thought in this game they actually played really well and that's with kendri PES who I'm a little bit worried about right now I wonder if sort of the confidence level with him that you know he had that sort of presence about him still at and really playing well with independente obviously with the u7s and the u20 World Cup I was like oh no this kid is going to be magical but I'm starting to see that maybe all the spotlight is getting to his head because his performances have dipped and dipped even more but Ecuador I thought they played really well this game it it shows one0 it should have been 340 G again fantastic saves and Peru offered absolutely nothing I mean f if you're going to play terrorist football if I'm Peruvian I'm so sick and tired because you don't play Grimaldo who has pace and athleticism rank what's the one thing you would need if you're playing on the Counterattack speed okay cool let's not have any speed up top then if you're Peru because they could do nothing with the ball and they had lapadula up against Felix Torres hiap and boo I mean it was just abysmal tactically from Peru they had the wrong idea into the game it was just everything was so bad they should have lost 3-0 and Ecuador I thought they looked a little bit better but there's still a little bit of things like the attack they got the Midfield Franco had really a good window this period I thought you know Franco I'm not his biggest fan he's actually had a very good International window for September I'm just intrigued to see what happens if esto pan or pre get injured cuz if one of those two guys are injured okay then are you going to move to to a back four cuz they provide the width for the team so good performance from Ecuador they needed these three points I think we you said that uh in the preview for this window they had to win this game because if they drw points to Peru at home I mean that's just sacreligious right there so are you now a little bit more positive about Ecuador or you just like no Peru are just garbage uh a bit of both I want to give beesi a bit a bit more time obviously he's just only getting started but it it really feels like if you told me that Felix Sanchez was still on the bench I would have believed you I felt like the outcome of the game wouldn't have been that much different if the manager was still Felix Sanchez um ecor did play well I think that they really created a lot of opportunities and they were unlucky not to score more goals obviously galesa again fantastic and the defense for Peru was having to make every single thing imaginable just to keep this Result One nil because the Midfield was doing nothing for for Peru they didn't they were struggling so much to push past the half point line uh at every given moment even when they were went down to one n and you would expect okay maybe now with the determination to actually get a result Peru actually go forward no not even that like Peru went down one nil and after that Ecuador just kept pushing and Peru could do nothing about it uh I was shocked that Grimaldo didn't play I feel like he's one of the only few players that is in the Peruvian League who actually has some talent and yeah he's not getting any minutes under fatti which is crazy uh again again at least Peru didn't lose by a bigger margin and you can be happy about that but they need to start getting results if they want to have any chance of getting that InterContinental playoffs or the direct qualification slot and for fosa and Peru is not going well they they really have no players they are so limited in every aspect uh so which is why I'm not really that convinced with Ecuador but I do think that it was a good performance if one of Stan or p goes injured I don't know what EOL does if they actually have to change the formation as a whole different to colia who actually has a squad I feel like Ecuador has a really good starting 11 and then the depth of the squad isn't really that great um so we're gonna have to see what happens with that if the cess is gonna get tested more they have other games now uh before the end of the year we're gonna see how it goes I want to give be some time for now it doesn't look much different but this was a much needed result for Ecuador and I think that so you basically so you basically say that Becca is Felix Sanchez with a man bun hey okay he has a lot of more hair so like that's a positive that's also like do we blame Gonzalo Plata for uh for Kennedy now is that what we're doing hey you know what hey you know what New York strip clubs they can't be wild they can't be wild so yeah actually you know what that's actually great break ever since ever since that club uh in incident he's he's falling off I'm going to be honest are you a little bit worried with Kendry maybe maybe and now he's going to Chelsea like it's not going to get any better like no exactly that's why I'm really worried I don't think he's making the right decisions I feel like he's gone a little bit too arrogant but you know he didn't play the worst yesterday but it's just like he doesn't have that same confidence with him with this play remember last year with that combination play between him and cedo I don't see that now I just see him I just see him take the ball and just shoot it take the ball lose the ball so he's got to get his confidence back but overall I'm positive about Ecuador but I need to see more I'm not going to say Yep they're back they're going to make it to around the 16 quarterfinal of the World Cup no not against Peru because anybody can do that at this point in my opinion around the world maybe even Mongolia could get a result against Peru that's how bad they are I'm sorry to every Peruan out there but it's really not looking pretty Chile 1-2 Bolivia but the next game is where the history was made in this window of gabol as Bolivia first time in 31 years rank I wasn't even born I wasn't even born the last time Bolivia won Marino was crazy you thought San Marino was crazy bro they waited 20 years to win a game this is the different level yeah this this International window has been an iwka trip all alog together because Bolivia went to Santiago and beat them 2-1 after their goalkeeper Carlos LPE by the way I remember I told you in the in the chat for your watchong I said oh no we got5 Charges going on here because Eduardo Vargas okay did he do the right thing and just score yeah oh he actually ruptured his Achilles that's what happened to the Bolivian goalkeeper ruptured his Achilles missed the kick and obviously Eduardo Vagas scored the goal but the fact that Bolivia then said okay cool we got screwed over you know what we're going to do Straight from kickoff we're going to score a goal I mean honestly that is just incredible and then they just survived the second half I mean the second half the football gods were Bolivia they said it's your time to win an away game and the last time Bolivia won an away game was 199 3 which is pretty crazy cuz in that game they won 71 against Venezuela but today actually yesterday excuse me they beat Chile 21 I think we got a first praise Bolivia before we roast uh Chile rank I mean this is historical this is incredible it it is incredible uh I feel like this has been a a 180 degrees for for Bolivia Bolivia being the only team to get six points in this window was not on my bingo card it's crazy ever since I was born I I had known that Bolivia are just never going to win anything away from home they're just going to try to win their home games and see if that's enough to qualify um it it wasn't enough never but now they actually got a result away from home and listen it was a great win I feel like those two goals at this court I feel like there's a lot to blame on Chile but the combination play something that we hadn't really seen from Bolivia before they are actually using their speed and how physical they are and the the technique was actually pretty decent I feel like we're seeing a bit of the results from Bolivar qualifying to the quarterfinals of the Copa libertadores uh last year than also like the the always ready um combination with the coach and with the players I feel like some things about the Bolivian League are actually showing in the national team now uh and it's great to see I feel like they are finally more cohesive and not just rolling over and capitulating games against anyone that they play against they're actually going and challenging teams who are on a very very low level like Chile is but you have to give praise to to Bolivia for actually capitalizing on these mistakes and yeah they got an amazing win in the second half they defended for their lives and they did so very very well I felt like viscara I don't know why viscara wasn't dist stting goalkeeper because I don't know what he had done wrong to lose that spot Lampe is obviously a great goalkeeper too but viscara was also fantastic uh the defense was solid Chile had no not really many dangerous opportunities in that second half and listen for for Bolivia is historic they are one point of ril they they are currently in the Intercontinental playoff spot and it's very possible that if they can just they I doubt that they're going to get another away win like they've gotten the one this is the one I believe but if they keep getting home uh to be fair they can win in Peru okay yeah it would be crazy it would still be crazy if if they do you you saw the player celebrating after the game it was crazy like you you know how much this means to them yeah exactly I was going to say this means everything to bolivians I mean some bolivians have never seen their team win away that's been the reality for bolivians for a majority of them I would say and now their team finally won away in Santiago and Shout out again to terceros the 20-year-old for Santos cuz he scored two goals in this window I'm I remember watching him in the Olympic tournament I think he scored a ridiculous golaso I think it was against uh Venezuela I was like oh no this kid looks good and I was like ah he plays for Santos interesting but then I checked he doesn't play a lot of games for Santos but he scored two goals in this window Al garans also scored two goals this window so I'm not going to get crazy and say Bolivia are going to qualify for the World Cup but all I will say it's the last time Bolivia qualified for the World Cup it was hosted in the United States and where's the next World Cup going to be played the United States so football Works football works in mysterious ways and maybe they could actually do a historical fee and qualify I think it would be their third world cup I think it would be their third world cup for Bolivia and I can guarantee you nobody predicted them to make it to the World Cup but heck there's still a long way to go feel like have some sort of confidence booster for the rest of this campaign it's just a matter of can they continue it and then Chile on the other hand at least they scor a goal rank hey hey that's actually positive yeah I think I had about and the goal and the goal I mean okay maybe it's not a goal but I don't care Eduardo varas is still garbage and how do you how do you think Ed uh Bron Diaz feels the dude is studying Spanish on Dingo and is getting subbed off the 35th minute for pisaro why why what is garea gka is making some really strange decisions I don't know what he's been drinking I don't know if it's mate but is R mate or what's going on but he might be a fraud right this might be actually no you know what you know what this is it's an inside job he's going to punish he's going to punish Peru and Chile at the same time he's going to bring them both down with him for chile to lose this game I think it's sackable I'm going to be honest he's got no results in competitive games he's got a friendly win over Albania he's got a win loss against France and then a win over Paraguay so if I'm Chilean okay look do they have the quality of course not there's no aruro there's no uh Gary medell there's no Alexis Sanchez there's none of these guy bour I mean bour was a quality left back there's none of these dudes now they are so depleted of quality but I'm sorry you can't lose to Bolivia at home you cannot be that team so what's one word to describe Chile right now embarrassing disastrous I don't know let me read out like a small list for you like okay Venezuela 1977 Peru 1989 Venezuela 1993 Chile 2024 are the four teams to lose at home to Bolivia in qualifiers Chile have just joined a a horrible list to be a part of like you said it's a sackable offense to join that list um they should give back the coastline I feel like giving back the coastline would be less embarrassing than this I don't know what garea is doing saing out Breon Diaz like that I I don't know what's going through his mind because is Ben Bron Dias a world class Striker no no he isn't But like after what we saw in the qualifiers for 2022 the only reason why Peru arriv at the final day with a slim chance to qualify for Qatar was because Ben Bron was actually getting the numbers and making Chile play to a different level offensively the stud National I don't know if they had like reduced capacity like Argentina and Colombia did but the place was almost empty I don't know what was going on there um and yeah Eduardo Vargas scoring that goal listen I think he should have scored the goal I don't the manner in which he did like just walking towards the goal and just shooting it when you're very close to it I thought it was disrespectful to do it in that way we a little bit he got punished for it he got punished for it because Chile considered the same goal twice this game like is pushing up um yes Catalan moving to cover that space some pushing up as well completely oblivious to and this is a cut and it's a cut back as well both are cut backs both are cutbacks and then Pao Dias completely unaware of what's going on they conceed the same goal twice it it's shambolic defensively for chile they have no structure and then offensively it was just cross and Galore the second half like when I tuned into the game after the Argentina game finish it was like oh here's a cross oh clear the way oh here's a cross oh clear the way like it was insane Chile got nothing it's so sad to see obviously like they don't have the quality but it's Bolivia and it's at your home stadium that's the crazy part and like you were saying like if you're sing out one of your best players at that point like what are you doing you're just shooting yourself in the food why would like what has edoardo varas shown you in the last year to say yeah you know what you deserve minutes and to get us the goals what okay yes he's been fantastic for the Chilean national team what he did in that 2015 C America in the semi-final fantastic this is the year 2024 move on move on Leonardo DiCaprio moves on to every girlfriend every two years three years so canu Chile don't hang on to these guys anymore you have to just start from the bottom like Drake start from the bottom okay look at BR and Diaz's face the guy is saying did I really learn Spanish for this really I went to dual lingo for this I I don't think he was even terrible no no he wasn't he was barely given any opportunities um no it's crazy that varas is still on he hasn't done anything for the last like four or five years for chile and at Club level is not much better like he's in Brazil he is barely getting any numbers for Mino uh no it's really not great he's getting called up because of his record numbers with with Chile um they need to move on they need to actually believe in the youngers like bisaro who came off the bench Carlos palasio these sort of players and Osorio try to get the youngsters involved uh this is really not the way for Chile garea has to change stuff like if he's gonna keep his job after this which I believe he will because it's like very early on uh it needs to change like Chile are still in time to turn the ship around but they don't have that many easy fixtures left uh the the end schedule the last four games for chile are absolute hell I remember so like they need to get points ASAP if they want to have a chance of qualifying and it would be embarrassing if Chile don't make three consecutive work cups especially this one being a 48 team war cup it would be insane you you cannot miss out on this one like basically everyone qualifies like is Bolivia gonna take the spot away from you but rank they don't have that quality anymore like they have you have to be realistic and every Chilean has to be realistic they don't have the quality anymore they don't have guys playing at Juventus and Bay seven maybe like Paraguay Paraguay have more quality than Chile I guess so yeah yeah yeah so like Chile based on quality are eighth best in South America Venezuela have more quality Ecuador have exponentially more quality Chile just don't back in the day 10 years ago they had a top three team in South America based on quality and they played like it as well now they don't have that so either their young generation and I actually checked the last time they made it to the u20 World Cup was with that generation team back in 2007 and they lost to AR in the final so that's the last time their youth youth teams have been good so I think that's just evident in how their national team is right now they don't have the quality and Gara is not helping himself I'm sorry this is the inside job it has to be because what some of the decisions he's making and the tactics I I get his football is a bit chaotic but the defending was shambolic yesterday those two goals were straight up sacriligious that's the best word to describe it so yeah Chile I mean chileos I know you're feeling very depressed today and I would be too I would say why am I watching this stupid sport but you also have to just say we're not that team anymore but I did check their last four games rank yeah they got artina at home Bolivia away Brazil away Uruguay at home they ain't picking no points so they better start picking up some wins ASAP Venezuela they should have won this Venezuela 0-0 Uruguay game again the rank I I I feel like Uruguay just got found out they have no T they have no plan B but the fact is they created next to nothing in this game I thought they didn't create a great opportunity it's just I don't get it from I don't really get it from BSA I get you're missing your players you're missing dwin fully understand it but changeed something something at least he didn't change anything and I felt like Venezuela should have won this game I mean how Rondon and I think it was I can't remember who was in the second half was it maybe Segovia in the second half he had a great opportunity 101 it was great save from rosette Venezuela should have won this game too though they have made Maturin into a fortress no I don't think they've dropped points there yet so far in this uh campaign obviously a couple draws but that's about it so yeah Venezuela I think we did talk about that four points would have been an excellent window one point not disastrous but they're clearly showing and Batista is showing that they are a good side I think right now Venezuela are the fifth best team I'm sorry they are better than Brazil right now it's on the contract like when you hire a guy whose nickname is El Loco like it's in the contract you signed up for so there's exp expiration date no no not expiration date this is what you signed up for when the guy is nicknamed El loo he's the crazy one he's gonna he's gonna stick to his system it's Insanity he's gonna stick to the system doing the same thing over and over even if it doesn't work um and in this game it didn't work like you were saying uru created next to nothing in this game and Venezuela should have won Serio and Venezuela's poor finishing kept this game nil nil because Venezuela really created many many opportunities in that second half there were like eight clear goal scoring opportunities for Venezuela like I'm not even joking uh it was either a save from rosett on a one-on-one like two or three times and then the other ones just Venezuelans missing the target from like five meters out um it was insane Venezuela really could have picked up three massive points in this game uh and it would have been amazing for them because now they're cutting Venezuela is cutting it really close now um we were we got really hyped up with their amazing start and seeing them like fourth or fifth in the qualifiers and we're like oh they got this they have to do it because if they don't do it now we don't know when it's happening for Venezuela now they are starting to drop points that they cannot afford to drop I know that urugai is a very talented team and is a team that is hard to beat uh because defensively they are still very solid and rochette is a fantastic goalkeeper who's actually stepping up after what was Fernando Musa departing Venezuela needed to win this game with the am of chances that they created uh and it was just disappointing how they couldn't get it done offensively they don't look like the same team that beat Chile 3-0 in that game anymore um Soho is not cooking anymore I feel like Rondon was missing a few clear chances Veo as well uh segobia like you were saying aramburu was making some really good uh Progressive what player by the way aramburu my godor yeah yeah yeah he was making some really good Progressive uh runs but it was was not enough for for Venezuela if they could just gotten one goal it would have been fantastic it would have been a very decent window uh one point it just feels like you're cutting it very very close uh you're tied on points with Brazil which usually would be good but um not not anymore you're just Venezuela need to get some wins on the board if they get can get like quality wise and footballing wise they look great and they should they look like a team that should qualify to the world cup out of kble but if if they don't actually start picking up some wins it's going to gets cared towards the end and I don't want to see Venezuela playing Under Pressure I feel like they should get wins as fast as possible and just ensure that ticket to the World Cup and just worry about it later uh for now I feel like they need a bit more they need to improve that finishing again I feel like it's the main talking po forista 100% 100% I think the issue for Venezuela is their top goal scor is Rondon with two goals so somebody else has got to step up I mean Soho we love him he stands on the ball in the Brazilian League step up bro I mean he got AB he got WWE speared Yesterday by Ugarte when he was doing that amazing run and then ugar said okay cool welcome back to South American football and absolutely just took him out that was Prime South American football but I'm going to say this again rank why doesn't Lucano Rodriguez get any minutes he's again on the bench for Uruguay Insanity the guy is a baller but he's getting zero minutes I'm not going to be over reactionary and say yeah Uruguay and BSA frauds they've always has been frauds I'm not going to say that I want to see it when Darwin gets back when Aro gets back and obviously valde will suspend suspend it for this game so we can't be reactionary with uru but be Elsa he's got to he's not going to switch let's just get that out of the universe people beela is not going to switch he will die on this hill with his tactics and either uruguai is got to accept it or just say hey you know what we'll ride with you ba Ela we we'll go for the crazy ride that you provide it's either going to end really good or most of the time with BSA it doesn't end pretty so it's it's going to be actually fascinating to see how this story is going to end with Uruguay and Bosa and the last game then bagay won a game rank Paraguay 1-0 Brazil they finally won a game they kept two clean sheets in this window what what did I say before this window Gustavo Alvar is a 10 out of 10 hiring and he got four points against Uruguay and Brazil that gaso from Diego Gomez was absolute Insanity outside of the boot off the posts and in that's what you call a baller R and well what to be fair he is joining Brighton at in January so we got to take that into account but he is playing it into Miami MLS stand up overall baray great window if they could just eliminate or Deport somehow aliron they would actually have a quality team just tactically Paraguay nullified Brazil Brazil had nothing and this is the story again Rank and this is what did I say uh before this window I think we both said it Brazil have not changed they're the same Brazil in the last year they're average and that's we we have to accept they are an average football team they might have the five stars but they play like a 0.5 Star team on FIFA with the quality they got and now Brazil have suffered four losses in 2002 wup qualifiers had six losses they got their fourth loss match day 13 it's been eight match days they have more losses than wins Brazil I mean disastrous again Vinnie disastrous endri I mean he might need to go watch tapes of Sir Bobby Charlton because of the way he played and Rodrigo nullified Midfield terrible Danilo I don't I I just God it's just it's so depressing talking about this national team because we all expect it to be maybe they'll get it right just you're you're hoping praying you're saying this is going to be it they're going to change it nope back to square one average average average and Doral JR this dude might actually be from cucko Land because he said before the game this team can make it to the World Cup final and they lost to butu no I can't take this national team serious rank these guys have the big mouth they have they talk all the game but they don't perform it's like Conor McGregor you can talk all the [ __ ] to khabib but when you get to the Octagon who kicked ass khabib another Point as to why Brazil may actually be finished is that Lucas mod is getting minutes in the year 2024 for the Brazilian national team uh no for real listen back in the cup America when Costa Rica Drew with Brazil nil nil I said that Gustav Alfaro may as well be the second coming of Jesus Christ uh I think that might have been an understatement because he has pocketed Brazil with two different national teams in like a two months or so the guy is just a genius incomprehensive genius because he knows the limitations of Paraguay and says okay well we're gonna set up like this in this low block and we're just gonna try and hurt you with with something and dieo Gomez what a goal that was it was insane um and after that like it never seemed like Brazil would score okay paru suffered a few cares because defensively they were still a bit shaky they were still letting uh allowing Brazil some space and they were making a few clumsy mistakes and Brazil may have gotten an accidental goal uh in this game because of the way that par was playing I feel like Luis Enrique came off the bench and did way more than what HRI was doing and getting a lot more done in that right hand side than Danilo or whoever was playing because I doubt it was a Brazilian playing on that right back position uh it was crazy like how finished Brazil are Vinnie had one moment one moment like in the second half where he received the ball on the left caught inside and fired a shot that was saved by Fernandez that was the only moment where he was like okay I'm gonna take Mars into my own hands that was it that was all we saw from B that one play um like trying to dribble past two players and fighting a shot from outside the box it was it there was nothing Rodrigo again disappearing no Brazil no cohesion whatsoever Lucas Paka had a few good moments but overall the Midfield is just no no no RI I'm sorry Lucas petta is just a tick Tok Merchant with the Brazilian national team he does all the nice dances with his wife they're great dances shout out wonderful couple but the dude what is his moment with the national team why does he consistently get to play so many minutes why I can't like everybody just wants to blame Vinnie and saying ah look at you you only got five goals with the national team and of course Vinnie's career with Brazil has been subpar but this Midfield is nowhere near Brazilian standards no they they go God they go God you know it's bad when you're hearing o o in Paraguay like that that's when it's getting bad uh for Brazil it's crazy Paraguay we actually running circles around them and yeah like you were saying this Paraguay team actually has talent they have some players that are actually interesting and I feel like yeah aliron should be dropped Ramon Sosa has been waiting for this opportunity his whole career and he's actually shown a lot more for Paraguay in the last few years uh so he should be the one starting on that side um Peta was a player that I had no idea about and he's actually been like an effective nuisance for the Brazilian defense at Midfield just playing that disruptive role as a forward which is crazy um Alfaro actually has set up par in a way that has made them very threatening for everyone to play against again which is what we were used to from paru that them being an extremely annoying team to play against because you know they're going to crap house their way around you and Alo has done exactly that and listen Brazil had no answers because their Midfield is just horrible and offensively they do nothing and this is the reason why you know we keep talking about him but Neymar man like I I don't think that Neymar is gonna solve everything he's not gonna solve thisam he's gonna solve it he's not gonna solve it he's not gonna solve it but the way he was disrespected his entire Brazil career for not getting a major trophy he was the only guy making something happen in this team Neymar was Bor in the wrong generation for multiple reason first for him his personal career as a player and then for his national team career because this guy was the most talented team thing we've seen come up from Brazil since Ronaldinho and maybe even better than Ronaldinho and he just had everything go wrong for him and now this Brazil team is without him and they look so incredibly clueless and Toothless in attack it's it's crazy it's so sad to see how Brazil has fallen and listen for Paraguay they're back in the race Four Points in this win and now you have some winnable games ahead of you they're back in it uh look at they J jumped up to seventh place no no no it's crazy it's insane let's talk about the T bring wait rink no I was just quickly back to Brazil I'm sorry to all my Brazilians I love your country love the food but your national team is a disgrace right now how much heat should dorival take was Fernando Denise this bad he wasn't losing to he wasn't losing to Paraguay away he wasn't looking terrible at home to Ecuador okay yeah Fernando Denise lost a weight to Uruguay Neymar get injured he obviously lost at home to Argentina but we SE what arentino are how bad was Fernando Denise they wasted all this time they gave him all this abuse saying oh you're trying to play this style of football you're trying to play the Brazilian way it's not going to work out we're going to go to doal we'll play the boring European style nothing has changed so maybe that's an indication that your quality is not there anymore so how much heat heat should uh Doral take for this disastrous time now going on the quality issue is really a problem is if L Enrique is being one of your different M difference makers of the bench and actually getting an impact like they they really have nothing Brazil especially in that Midfield is crazy how how little it's it's crazy that a team like Brazil cannot field 11 decent players they cannot go out in the favas and find 11 decent people to play fuie ball when like the guy serving K Pinas on the beach can probably play better than Bruno gim marayas it's crazy um yeah the quality is definitely a problem but how delusional D Ral is and how committed he is to players like joal Gomez is crazy uh I think or Danilo how can Danilo keep starting for this national team and estan would start for Brazil it's crazy aramburu for Venezuela would start for Brazil Jesus Christ I mean it's just yeah well I mean it's facts rank we can't I I don't need to see a bunch of Juventus games and just see oh he's on the bench but he gets to start for the sell make it make sense people don't Evol you got two games to save your ass I'm telling you right now if Brazil drop any points away to Chile or at home to Peru his ass is gone it has to be Brazil cannot accept this mediocrity over and over again rank if they lose to Chile away in the next game the worst part is going to be that they're not going to have Twitter to see their downfall so like it's it's gonna be crazy damn damn Paraguay and Bolivia both had eight plus Windows look at them they're both on nine points it's crazy bro four six points insane well honestly like if they win their games Bolivia could Le frog to fifth or sixth mhm yep so like some people are critical obviously I don't think six teams directly should qualify to the walker from cor ball I think that's way too excessive I think Five Points uh five teams directly would be good the sixth place goes to InterContinental Bolivia and Paraguay they should now feel some hope now they got something really to play for unlike Peru and Chile who are just really theying the last na on the coffin right now they're just ready to hammer it in on these two teams not qualifying to the World Cup and then it will just be between them Venezuela Paraguay Bolivia and Brazil I'm sorry until Brazil can somehow improve they will be in this dog fight they're going to plaw their way just drag their way somehow through the mud and qualify I don't think they're going to get a top three finish I might not even say top four so would you agree then paru and Bolivia absolutely massive windows for them yeah in insanely huge insanely huge for both of them uh like Bolivia six points is crazy but uh par as well just because of the level of opposition that they had to face obviously well it's Brazil is this Brazil but it's Brazil getting that huge win when they doubled their goal stally so like that that's already impressive enough two goals in eight games is wild though holy [ __ ] it it is wild it is wild but it you should not be taking forgiven that they actually won a game so uh it's great for them to get this result and now they should have more doable games to actually do this and push for that InterContinental playoff for heck even a direct qualification spot if Venezuela keeps sleeping um and yeah Bolivia as well now you have hope for your home games and try to park the boss on the road and just see how it goes and you may have a chance and then for chile and Peru listen when they face it's going to be an elimination game whoever doesn't win that game is out so uh it's they play each other Match Day Match Day 11 so in November mhm in November it's going to be in Lima so that's an elimination game if it's a draw they they are both out so one of them needs to win um G will bring them both down at this point listen after that Ecuador I think that they are safe even though they are only one point clear of the mess I think they're going to be fine as long as they get some results and then yeah like Brazil are GNA do it I cannot see a world where Brazil don't finish in the top six but yeah as as until they don't prove it they're going to be in the dog fight like you were saying because they are just one win one loss draw loss draw like until they don't actually start getting some results and some real footballing anything anything that looks like fui ball uh they're going to be in this area around those other teams so yeah it's going to be intense for sure I I would say this for Brazil they must pick up six points in the next window because I looked at the Romania schedule it is tough like really like for this Brazilian team it's tough maybe not for the 2006 and 2010 teams obviously they didn't perform well at the World Cup but they cruised by in the qualifiers this team they got to pick up those six points in in October if they don't oh boy I'm actually going to hit the panic button but the most intriguing game for October and obviously I'll be previewing it maybe rank will be joining me is Paraguay's next game is Ecuador away Gustavo Alvaro returns to Kito which should be very fascinating to see how that goes down and Bolivia's next game is at home to Colombia in Alto so look it should be very intriguing in October to see how it goes down and obviously the top three of the top three they are going to cruise by although if Uruguay dropped more points maybe they could be dragged into the h no no no I'm not actually I'm not going to speak that into his existence I'm not I'm not GNA do that I'm not gonna do that rake I'm gonna be polite I'm gonna be nice to our guy Bea he's not going to get into that dog fight people there is the gabo review it was Absolut abely I yesterday was so fascinating to see Bolivia win and obviously the Colombia Argentina game was fantastic then I wake up in the morning I see Brazil lose to Paraguay what a window rank where can the people find you what is your latest video and maybe what's your
