I was going to my work when I've heard this major happening at Libertadores
>Atletico Tucumán (ARG), an Argentinan Chapecoense, would play against El Nacional (ECU) the last playoff match for advancing to the group stage (please, don't ask)
>Tucumán had never gone to a Libertadores before
>The first match score was 2 x 2; so, he had to defeat Nacional for a single score.
>The second match was in Quito (2.850m above sea level)
>Tucumán went to Guayaquil (sea level) for training and the original plan was to catch a plane only hours before the match, for reduce the altitude effects
>They boarded in the plane, but it didn't has the authorization for travel, and they had to leave it.
>They kept in tought with Nacional team and Libertadores organization saying that they would delay and asked for not to lose by W.O.
>The Argentinan ambassador interceded and they managed to get in another flight, but with only 19 players and 6 from the technical team.
>They arrived 1h30 later than they were originally scheduled
>Once they arrived in the stadium, they discovered that they couldn't play because they didn't have jerseys.
>So, they borrowed Argentinan U-20 jerseys, as there is a U-20 Sulamerican happening in Ecuador
>With all these adversities, they managed to defeat Nacional by 1-0 and they are at Libertadores group stage for the first time.

what?
Weren't you following the Libertadores thread yesterday? Everyone was watching the match and talking about it lol
New format is fucked up
Some teams go through a playoff stage to get to the group stage, similar to CL when the slav and teams from malta play against one another for a spot in tje groups
Well, I know muslims aren't the most literate people, but really, if you're going to mooch off the state's money for your welfare, at least make the effort to assimilate the language .
You know, Atletico Tucumán jersey looks almost the same as the National Team's. I wonder if they didn't have the NTs jerseys, would they have been allowed to play with a jersey with different colors?

timeline here
A barrio team from bumfuck Argentina beats one of Ecuador's supposed best teams.
Only in South America. This is why Libertadores blows the CL out of the water.
>With all these adversities, they managed to defeat Nacional by 1-0 and they are at Libertadores group stage for the first time.
There's another preliminary stage before group stage
It's a team without history but it has a lot of supporters. Tucumán is the fifth most populous province after all
>There's another preliminary stage before group stage
How long until World Cup have the same format?
2026 confirmed.
Expect it to be in some other shitty place, like China.
Or United States
Literally the same as the CL playoffs before the group stage.
Eh, that too, but at least I wouldn't need to wake up at 3am to watch two literally who NTs.
You know, I think I'd like it better if the WC had more teams. That way we'd have more underdogs like Costa Rica making it
How mad is Umbro righ now?

In Argentina 78 France played with Atlético Kimberley's shirts
Who /rochas/ here?
a question:
El nacional is the most hated team in ecuador?
They would have used any other kit, from a local club of El Nacional's away kits
It's happened before
La verdad no, su doctrina de solo usar jugadores nacionales es respetada localmente y no tiene rivalidades con odio de por medio.(Barcelona - El Nacional es un partido con historia aqui pero no por rivalidad)
Es el segundo equipo con mas titulos nacionales despues de Barcelona (por eso el atractivo de los partidos entre ellos), pero siempre peca de inocente en participaciones internacionales y nunca se espera nada de ellos. Les puedes poner la llave mas facil del mundo y encuentran una manera de cagarla.
Exportan muchos jugadores, entre ellos Antonio Valencia.
La verdad nuestro futbol tiene un potencial memeistico impresionante, pero como no se consume externamente , los memes quedan aqui.
>Un avión en la cancha
I thought that was Chapecoense
ya veo
emelec, liga, barcelona y nacional son los "4 grandes de ecuador" no? **una duda**
Las tucumanas son altas putitas, en internet hay mas videos porno de tucumanas que de todas las otras argentinas juntas.
Also, El Nacional wants to disqualify Atl Tucuman from the libertadores
