    Nice analogy ..
    But on the other hand Neymar is a lot younger and is playing for a better NT so he will surely still improve.. And if he decided to move to some bigger club he will surely be a big player..

    Brazil > Uruguay ?? Currently, I don't think so.

    Brazil have more potential, but currently Uruguay has a real team filled with great players. I think it's quite even right now, with Uruguay perhaps having a slight advantage over Brazil because players like Cavani, Suarez, Forlan etc. are decisive players in important matches for their clubs in Europe, like Suarez who is perhaps the best player of Liverpool atm. Also, Cavani is much more effective, decisive and important for Napoli than Robinho is for Milan, or Pato is for an example.

    I strongly think that Uruguay is currently stronger than Brazil, frnakly it has got nothing to do with the players one-by-one but rather it's about the overall team itself and friendship. I believe that if they dispute let's say 10 straight matches this year, Uruguay would win at least 5 of them and 2-3 of them would be draw.

    Well besides this being the most talented Uruguayan generation since possibly the 70s, and indivdual talent on the defensive end better than all but a few nations in the world, the chemistry and teamwork is really what brings it all together. Tabarez has really been the best international coach in the world for the past few years, he's formed an extremely flexible system that can play both attacking and defensve football depending on the context, and the players buy into the system 100%. Plus Uruguay being such a small country means the players have a bond that Brazil or even Argentina can't replicate, where the players not only come from very different socio-economic backgrounds but even geographical.

    The sad thing is the return to respect is probably what is going to undo Uruguay in the long run. One reason both Brazil and Argentina have been miserable when it comes to teamwork is because players are poached by European clubs at a young age, and the good ones that stay are overindulged. Uruguayans haven't been as heavily scouted but that is clearly changing.

    I forgot to mention, my favourite Chilean club, Universidad de Chile, won the Copa Sudamericana

    It's been an epic year for them.

    Sorry, don't know any reccomended link. There's a couple when I search for it on google but none seem particular reliable. I've only seen the highlights from the second leg myself sadly.

    Worth trying though. La U has been spectacular this year. Some of the best football in the world. Sampaoli models his managing style after Bielsa after all and you can definitely see the results.

    It's a good time for Chilean football, Bielsa has really sparked a revolution. I just hope whatever European club breaks the bank for Eduardo Vargas doesn't ruin him.

    Universidad is one of the best teams in world football. Give a damn what these eurocentric bastids say.

    If I didn't have finals right now I would have caught the final.

    And there are no words for Biesla. Goddamn legend.

    Yeah, I finished finals today so I'm flooding the board for Universidad propaganda. It's been an amazing year, I'm glad I was in Santiago when la U won the apertura. Of course I was also in Argentina when River was relegated, so let's just say this summer/winter revived my passion for South American football. Just wish the rest of the world would give Universidad the credit it deserves.

    And I'm sure as hell glad that Bielsa is coaching Athletic. It's great being able to see a Bielsa team weekly, especially for a club I've always liked. Between Bielsa, Batistuta and Messi, the only thing keeping me from being a Newell's fan is my dedication to Buenos Aires.

    Colombia's arguably most successful club, América (de Cali), has been relegated to the Primera B.

    What a strange year for South American football...

    I'd say those things often happen in south american football .
    This year, Cruzeiro, one of Brazil biggest teams, almost got relegated to the serie b. And corinthians, that won this year, was relegated to serie b in 2008.

    Well there's always some big shocks and most clubs are financially unstable, this is one of the consistent powerhouses of Colombia and I don't think they were ever relegated in history. The Argentine media is comparing them to River.
