The news

The Venezuelans haven’t started very brightly – much to their manager’s bewilderment. This week, he called up one roster for the game against Bolivia and a separate roster for the game against Ecuador, so as not to wear out a single roster by using it twice. Venezuela lost both games.

For Ecuador, it’s four wins out of four – the best beginning in our history. I saw only a few minutes of the latest victory. (I had to tutor.)

Some nice highlights, with tecnología.

Uruguay looked very solid, beating Chile. I expect the Uruguayans to keep up with our pace.

Colombia lost at home to Argentina.

Paraguay beat Bolivia.

Brazil beat Peru.
