Has anybody been watching these qualifiers and wanna gimme an update on how things are going. I enjoy paying attention to football goings-on the world over but I haven't been watching the south American qualifiers and I want to know how its going. I've read scores and reviews of matches but I would be interested in any insight any of you have,
1.-Paraguay
2.-Brasil
3.-Argentina
4.- Chile
Chile's been one of the surprises of the south american qualifiers, since they haven't qualified since 1998, and they beated Argentina FOR THE FIRST TIME in an official football match in its entire history. In the fifth place is Uruguay, which has as many points as Chile does, but GD makes them be outside the qualification zone, but they don't seem to get any better, I mean, they have pretty good players, for example FORLAN, an awesome player, but they've been pretty bad (not BAD, but they've been way better before, let's not forget that they've won the World Cup twice) when thinking about past qualifiers.

Actually is kind of funny if Maradona blames elevation: he was the main defender of Bolivia when Fifa tried to cancel matches in elevation. Argentinian press, so far, is making him look like a defeated hero.
Maradona said that Bolivia played better and they didn't played as they used to. Meh, speech-after-defeat.
