So after sitting in the East stand lower, watching Navas put 146 ignored balls in to a vacant near post area, Aguero finally arrives there....for fucking Argentina.
And scores a ten times more difficult goal than he could have had from the other 146 wasted opportunities.
Near post= goldmine of goalscoring opportunity.

Haha - I was waiting for someone to comment on this. So true - an area our strikers appear unwilling to exploit despite the fact that it has invariably reaped rewards when they have attached (edit: or "attacked" even) the near post

well he is Chilean, so I can understand that. unless he is looking at Arturo Vidal and our scouts at Juve were not watching Pogba at all and its just a smokescreen to get some other mug to stump up mega bucks
Wonder how Pellers is perceived over in his homeland?
Good call NB and, moreover, I wonder how City are viewed both in Chile, as well as other parts of that continent, given the high profile Argentinian players in our ranks.

The two Chileans I know are quite proud of him. However he oversaw a period of abject shit for that university or whatever side and took them Down for the only time in their history apparently so he's not exactly well remembered by their fans tbh. Sounds like he was their Stuart Pearce in many ways. He said as much that he wasn't a good manager or a good listener then and he was more apt to fight a player than coax the best out of them.
Cheers

As bonus sideshow to the cup; Arturo Vidal seems like a complete fucktard:
Here he is getting caught driving drunk and crashing his car, with his family in the car, during the tournament:
He tells the cop, "You can cuff me, but you'll fuck Chile."
And then the tearful apology a day or so later:
Amazingly, he'll still be allowed to play in the tournament after all this.

Handbags after the Brazil - Columbia game with Neymar starting everything by being a sore loser. Both Neymar and Bacca sent off after the final whistle:

Given the long border which exists between Chile and Argentina, is there much rivalry, or even any antipathy, between the two countries in both footballing and political terms ??
If there were, would the factor of well known Argentinian players being in our team provide the basis for an ambivalent attitude being held in Chile, towards City ??
Furthermore, I don't know how Argentina are viewed in the rest of South America and how City are perceived by other countries in that continent because of that.
It would be good to know if anyone any thoughts or knowledge on this ??

the way the player who gets hit by a "Football" goes down is ridiculous, I bet he made his family so proud acting like that. If Taggart were the manager, no doubt he could have been killed by that shot!

Apparently, Jamaica & Mexico are 'guest' teams from CONCACAF, otherwise known as Jackwarnerland.

Isn't that because there aren't enough South American teams to have a tournament, so they have "guest teams" to make up the numbers?

It is. Japan were guests a few years ago.

it's been really really decent tbh. Gems? I dunno. it's hard in INTL footy for me. Every team is mostly shit in comparison to what we're used to...but i will say that from a City perspective that Fernandinho's done pretty well. He's looked great in one match and very good in others. Hopefully he can get back to his best next season. I still rate him.
two players who i fucking don't know the names of whom i watched tho and thought highly of were the shit hot Chilean midfielder not driving drunk or wrecking his car. He's a peach. And that CB for Columbia who basically is doing the fucking business. He's a youngish dude. I'm shit at the names of these kids but i'm sure you can google the fuck out of them if you care.
it's worth watching....Argies v Columbia should be fun. Kun once again hasn't exactly flourished for the Albiceleste. Thought i'd say di Maria looks more like the player at Madrid than the cunt at the Rags. Funny how that works. He's playing more like the role he was at Madrid tho, obvs.
cheers

The two countries hate each other on pretty much every level possible (although every nation in South America hates Argentina). Chile has built up a massively disproportionate military over the years to its size and geostrategic importance, largely due to the UK using it as a pawn with which to threaten Argentina and dissuade it from 'doing another Falklands', while simultaneously draining Argentina's economy through its aspiration to keep up with Chile militarily.
The situation between the two countries reaches such a level of pettiness that Chile has lodged objections on an international level to the study of volcanic ash originating from its volcanoes and landing in Argentina by (or in collaboration with) Argentinian scientists.
