Yes, I am too a bit jealous because I can`t find any quality stream before the game.
I would like to see Keirrison playing...

Where do you look at the Copa Libertadores? Goltv?

I'm actually watching at one of our national programs. There are a lot of matches broadcast from La Liga, Premier League, Serie, Bundes Liga, Russian League, French Ligue, Dutch Eredivisie, Jupiter Pro League, Copa Libertadores. And sometimes also some of the South American first leagues. You have to pay for it, but it's worth it.

Regarding Copa Libertadores, yeah this is one of the greatest spectacles in the world of football. Just in the first round of this competition there have been so many upsets. Boca Juniors didn't have the best start in the Argentinian Championship, but won against a very solid team of Deportivo Cuenca. Also my favorite team, Recife won against Chilean team Colo Colo, in the strongest group. There was another derby between last year's champions Liga de Quito and Palmeiras. In the high quality match the home team somehow edged the visitors and won a very prestigious match. This is what makes Copa Libertadores so special. You never know what to expect. Major upsets happen more often than in Europe. That's why I'd even dare to say that it's more attractive for the spectators. I'm not saying better only more attractive. In the Champions League there are always maybe four or five contenders for the tittle, but you never really know who will win in this competition. Of course, there were some surprises in the Champions League in the past, but it a fairly less frequent habit. Plus some very talented youngsters are pulled out and exposed by the media; always poached away by European giants. Just imagine what would happen if the majority of these players stays in South America. It would be probably an even stronger and better competition.

Guess who scored for Palmeiras once again. Yeah, you're right, Keirrison did.
Lucas Barrios and Macnelly Torres are two very exciting players as well.

Thank you for the work mate, of course I read it... every time you update

Unlike Bojan I love the South American football! The passion, the way it's played... everything about it. It is much more fun than the Northern&Eastern European football in my oppinion, it is so alive...

"My team" Universidad de Chile is doing good
