Someone between Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador are going to get left out, and losing your best player doesn't help the situation. Things are going to get VERY interesting.

its outrageous he got 4 games. If you watch the replay he was never physical....didnt really act out at all. You could see he was mad but never threatening or showing up the ref. The ref didn't even put it in his report. Nothing was gonna happen until Chile complained to COMEBOL. Then the 4 games came down. Its the same suspension that Neymar got for his temper tantrum during the Copa 2 years ago.

Maybe they're sick of Argentina after the last few years worth of stuff they've had RE: corruption/scandal. Want to bring the hammer.


That was my thought too.

Messi's ban was overturned on appeal.

I am kind of surprised given FIFA's apparent dislike of the AFA. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed.

You're not the first person I've seen say this. Only problem with your post is, they were already guaranteed to play in the Champions League next year. They clinched that spot weeks ago.

No, what they clinched today was a spot in the CL Group Stage. Completely bypassing the CL Playoffs.

...unless UEFA rules against RB Leipzig with RB Salzburg winning the Austrian Bundesliga:

Explained halfway through the article

But considering the team had circumvented the 50+1 rule as well as the name of the team (RB Leipzig officially stands for RasenBallsport Leipzig) I'm sure they'll get around it.

It's not you. There's a bug on the site that causes threads to start getting really laggy when they get past a certain number of posts.

We've run into it before. It's usually comical because everyone posts the same thing 2 or 3 times.
