El Salvador?.....
Peru got into the Semi-Finals of last Copa America, they're getting stronger. Ecuador are getting weaker, their golden generation is getting old now. Same with Paraguay, they aren't as good as when the had Chilavert
El Salvador, Panama or Honduras????
Pretty similar to me I think. And any of those will most likely beat Nz.

SAQ is whoever has the biggest home advantage/record will get in. Peru at home sucks, even Bolivia is better due to their Altitude. The rest of the teams are either solid or above average at home and have some type of outside advantage(Arg and URU are cold as f*ck and play in some shitty condition fields, Ven and Col play early afetrnoon games in 100 degree carribean heat, Ecuador and Bolivia, high altitude, mid afternoon scheduled games). Combine that with having possible the worst defense in SA they have no chance at all.

OMG!!! guys It's been such a long time coming but we're getting ready to roll again tomorrow. Four big games involving teams such as Ghana, Egypt, Tahiti and New Caledonia.
What a cracking day for football it is.
NOTE: Tahiti - Samoa and New Caledonia - Vanuatu will be played at the same ground in Honiara, Solomon Islands as a part of the OFC Nations Cup.
Boy am I excited.
And then on 2 June we've got a big round of games coming up, and in the next days too WHOO

Honestly anyone who actually watches Argentina knows they play much better without Messi on the field then with him,
Who they really need is Riquelme to come back in, with Gago and Mascherano behind him, Riquelme still has it he's a beast at Boca
I see, not only you didnt watch the game and talk out of your ass, you havent even watched the highlights
Riquelme can barely walk nowadays
Seems like Mascherano - Gago/Pastore - Di-Maria - Messi - Kun - Higuain is their best attacking lineup, but not sure how that would work when they play a team like Germany or Brazil who basically kills you on counter attacks and Argentina's defense is pretty much awful

When's the last time you've seen Boca Juniors play, doubt you've ever watched them, Riquelme is still the same which is why Villareal keeps trying to get him back to Spain.
MESSI HAS NOT DONE SHIT FOR ARGENTINA EXCEPT IN FRIENDLIES.
