The South America World Cup qualifiers for 2022 have started. We had three games yesterday, Uruguay-Chile, Paraguay-Peru and Argentina-Ecuador. Unfortunately these games are not being televised in my country so I have to go by the commentaries I read. All agree that yesterday's games showed six teams that are not really in any good shape, the teams that won Argentina and Uruguay both won with penalties and they were playing at home, apparently there were some controversial referee and VAR calls in both games.
Actually if my memory serves me right the South American qualifiers always start with low intensity with teams that are nervous and don't play good. But as far as I have read this year the competitiveness of the teams is well below that of the big European teams. I do hope things improve. So far there are no real surprises, perhaps Paraguay tying at home, but Paraguay has been on a low for quite a while now.
Today we had two games, Colombia beat Venezuela which is a logical outcome, and Brazil also beat Bolivia, these are scores that are to be expected the quality of Colombia and Brazil are way ahead of their two rivals, Colombia scoring three against Venezuela is no surprise as Brazil scoring five against Bolivia is also no surprise, especially since both played at home.
It is playing like the usual South American qualifiers so I guess we will be seeing the same five teams in Qatar perhaps we can think of one surprise.
I was really hoping Venezuela would qualify for the world cup one time. I guess Columbia was no match for them. It looks as if the ones who have been qualifying over the years keep building their squad whiles the rest of the teams stop trying altogether.

Mi opinión con respecto a la actuación de La Vinotinto en las eliminatorias no ha cambiado. Mientras Venezuela, o la federación Venezolana de fútbol, no contrate a un técnico extranjero, preferiblemente Europeo que elimine el compadrazgo a la hora de las convocatorias nunca podrá salir del lugar donde esta.
Si es cierto que la pandemia afecta el rendimiento de los jugadores con tantas restricciones y miedo a contagio. el nivel de las selecciones sudamericana esta por debajo en estos momentos.
Hay que tomar en cuenta que el nivel de los clubes europeos pasa por la misma situación.
Hay que esperar a ver que pasa con los otros juegos de esta eliminatoria.
Tengo la esperanza de que la Vinotinto suba su nivel.
Hasta la proxima...
