Not to diminish our Copa results, but Venezuela lost 4-0 to Bolivia yesterday in WCQ. Sure, it was away from home, and sure it's only one game, but I question how long they'll hold onto 4th if they drop points like that moving forward. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember flying into La Paz fifteen years ago, and its airport has one of the highest elevations in the world. I remember feeling like I had to focus on breathing until my body adjusted. It was truly a weird feeling. I can only imagine how hard it would be to play a game at that elevation.

Mihairokov Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I watched Argentina play away to Bolivia with an Argentine friend of mine years ago and when the match started the Argentina players were simply walking around for the first twenty minutes. My friend turned to me and said "today we will run more than them" Weng, ahmedou, JAVIERF and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) It’s not even the fact that Venezuala was on the road away. It’s the fact it was in Bolivia. And for everyone explaining how difficult it is to play in La Paz, this game was played in El Alto which is actually 1,840 feet higher in elevation than La Paz. Most South American teams, do not expect to come away from Bolivia with a result. I believe Bolivia only lost 2 or 3 out of 9 home games last World Cup qualifying cycle. Bolivia fielding mostly domestic based players also has its benefits as most players are living based in places like La Paz.

Obinna Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Argentina beat Bolivia in Bolivia on matchday 2 by a score of 3-0. Ecuador beat them 2-1 at home on matchday 3.

They also beat Uruguay 3-0, Paraguay 4-0, Peru 1-0, Venezuela 3-1 and tied Colombia 1-1 last cycle. Brazil and Argentina usually have just too much talent even with the altitude disadvantage. The advantage is usually less impactful on Ecuador as well as Quito and Ecuador in general play regularly at very high altitude levels as well.

If we are trying to rank Venezuela this cycle we don't need to bring up last cycle. I'm not trying to make it seem like playing in La Paz is easy. My only point was to question putting Venezuela here.... 22 hours ago, Kadenge said: The top 4 in South America WCQ as of today: 1. Argentina 2. Uruguay 3. Colombia 4. Venezuela It's still sinking in as to how well we did at Copa. We came within a whisker of winning vs 2 out of that top 4. And like I said, I am not trying to downplay our tournament, but put Venezuela in the top 4 while you can, because I don't see them holding onto that place for long, as evidenced by their 4-0 loss. Like I said, we've had Argentina and Ecuador go in there and win, plus we had a so-called poor Peru limit Bolivia to just 2 goals.

Peru is good at defense, they just can't score to save their lives. I remember playing in a tourist vs tour guide soccer match in Bolivia many moons ago, we (tourists) scored one very early on, then just stood around in front of our net for the rest of it trying to block shots. Not sure if we held on or not, I might have passed out before the end... JAVIERF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
