What could be say about the draw?

By: Nando | June 16th, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I can’t deny that after the game with Peru I felt disappointed in some way, and also pissed off with Pinto. I don’t get why he had to defend a draw when we could have won the game in the first half?? why are playing Rodallega and Perea together since both of them play alike and didn’t get along well on the field??? how could he thought was a good idea to send Portocarrero to the game???

Talking about the game, we played better than Peru on the first half, but second half was a different story, they outplayed us and Pinto’s “wonderful” tactics, and being honest we should have lost the game,¡ lady luck was with us this time.

And now we have to play against a great team who almost defeated Argentina. I wonder if Pinto will play with 10 defenders, seems he has already said he’d be pleased with another draw…. there you have it, we have a coach who doesn’t want to win, let’s see what he has on mind.
If you ask me I would play 4-2-2-2, using Zapata: Zuñiga, Mosquera, Moreno, Bustos; Escobar, Sanchez, Amaya, Vargas; Falcao, Perea.

Let’s see what will happen.
