I would not be surprised either way, officials taking shady decisions or Messi being an arrogant prick, or both.

What the hell did he do? That a big ban for "swearing" i assume at an official?

So they were winning, and he loses his temper to an official who called a foul on him and refused to shake officials hand after the game. Strange doesn't sound like the Messi i know hmm.


He has certainly developed some diva tendencies the last few years. Especially with respect to Argentina.

Tonight we will beat Italy 3-0 in this friendly and then later on in the year fail to win from Belarus and Luxembourg when it really matters xD

Oh nevermind we're not even playing Robben and Sneijder gg

Argentina behind in Bolivia at half time. Wouldnt be a real surprise even with Messi though. Still, it could make for some very nervous games. I earlier called the game vs Chile not a must win, but in hindsight it sure may have been.

Bolivia have a player called Pablo Escobar....

Bolivia in La Paz is always hard. Playing football at 3600m altitude. Lol. It's their one trump card.

Yeah, that must be tough to play in. To support your point every point Bolivia have was won at home. They have lost every away game.

As Bolivian players have grown up in such harsh areas, shouldn't they be monsters at sea altitude with super crazy stamina?

If only Ecuador would have won we would have had such a crazy final few games in South American qualifiers! Here's how it stands after 14 games!

[image loading]

Note on Bolivia they have had 2 results overhauled due to fielding an ineligible player. 0-0 draw with Chile and a 2-0 win over Peru!

How guaranteed spot is the 5th one in South American qualifier? I hear they'll play against some team from Oceanian quals, so sounds kind of a easy bite. Have there been any upsets on that matchup?

So being bored, I checked wikipedia. The only thing I would rate as an minor upset is australia beating uruguay to qualify for 2006. Other than that these matchup have been mostly even matched (at various levels) with no clear favorite or non-concests with the favored (most often southamerican) team destroying the their opposition.
Based on recent results, new zealand even barely manage to beat their oceanian opposition, so we might even end up with a argentina-papua new guinea playoff.

Well we finally won a game but very unconvincing.

The draw against Thailand is going to haunt us. We have to beat Saudis at home then at least draw in Japan. Gonna be tough.

Hype it up for Ecuador - Papua New Guinea! Epic match of the century!
