There was once buzz about Messi calling somebody negro and he was suprised because it was normal to call someone like that back in his home end.

This is why South American football has fallen so far behind European football, and you won't see it change as long as this ridiculous "more contact = better football because we r men" attitude prevails.

Hold up now.

I agree and even posted the same thing about the physicality of South American football and how it's funny people are now just starting to realize this is SA football and always has been.

But SA teams falling way behind Europe, where is that coming from. The top players in almost every top league are South American, a lot of European club teams can't even field teams with there own countries players and depend on South America, Africa etc.

The EPL features a shockingly small amount of English starters.

Argentina was in the finals of the world cup and went to overtime and I believe every SA team got out of the group stage for like 2 world cup cycles running plus 2 of the 4 semi finalists were South American.

4 of the last 8 teams in the 2010 World cup were South American and Uruguay finished 3rd.

I don't really understand where SA teams are falling behind Europe.

Talking about South American football, as in the domestic leagues versus the European domestic leagues.

In other news, Messi is having a great game, behind both goals so far and looking lively.

Jesus christ. I don't think Brazil could have taken a mauling like this after last summer. It was for the best Paraguay booked their own trip to the slaughterhouse.

Chile is going rekt if the ref doesn't bail them out like last night.
