Abtigiis Posted April 3, 2009 That name means little nowadays. In fact, if the cheering of supporters were considered as an advantage to the home team in footbal two-leg matches, the away-goal rule has eaten into much of that advantage. You get one lapse of concentration at home, and you need to score thrice to progress. Such calculations had destroyed the incentive motive for teams to attack, forcing them to sit back and be wary of conceding. Discussing that issue is not my intention though. my intention is to discuss LA PAZ and Bolivia. With an altitude of over 3700mt a.s.l, it has become the bural ground for some of the most illustrious footballers. The latest are Argentina. This highly rated team, under the stewardiship of Maradonna eat the soil with 6-1 demolition by the mediocre Bolivians. They have also beaten qualification leaders Paraguay, hitting them five times. This is a real home advantage. For someone who watched how they turned Argentine goali into a shooting exercise posts, I wondered why they don't ask for hosting the World Cup? At least, they will have one to their name, as no one will dare to beat them at home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted April 3, 2009 ^^ Though it works most times they did lose to Chile recently (2-0). I think the blame for this should rest with Maradonna. By the way, did you follow the spat between him and Pele? Pele called him a bad role model and he hit back by claiming that Pele was gay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Posted April 4, 2009 Giving players Viagra before the game solves this problem it seems, at least accordinng to the Gremio FC physio. The idea behind this theory is that viagra would enhance the blood circulation, and therefore improve the players' performance at high altitudes.. He intends to test his idea in copa libertadores matches against bolivian sides! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
