Whoa, scenes. Very harsh on Chile. Especially considering they successfully appealed against Paraguayan Cabrera playing for Bolivia. It earned them a win instead of a 1-1 draw, but it also lead to overturning the Bolivia-Peru result (1-0) into a 0-3 win for Peru. And now Chile are out on goal diff. Dang.

Peru's goal was pretty unique too.
It was an indirect free kick which Guerrero curled in - which obviously shouldn't have stood if it had gone in directly but Ospina got a touch on it trying to make a save which meant it was no longer counted as a direct goal. I don't think i've ever seen that happen before.
If Ospina had let it just fly past him, it wouldn't have counted. Guerrero must have been counting on him trying to save it as he definitely went for goal.

yeh agree with LBI - finally they replaced gabbiadini / darmian with belotti / el shawaaary with 30 mins left & looked way more dangerous immediately obvs the insigne thing is insane but no idea what gabbiadini has done this season to deserve > belotti
― nxd, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 09:17 (six years ago) link
I don't really keep up with Italian football that much but yeah my comment was mostly driven by Gabbiadini being in the team and thinking surely they'd have to do better upfront, in an absolutely crucial game, than some dude who isn't even holding down a consistent place in the Southampton team?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 09:59 (six years ago) link
with their midfield they could almost certainly suffice with a lone forward in immobile or belotti but this is a manager that played 4-2-4 away vs spain haha

“Idle as trout in light Colonel Jones
these Irish, give them no coins at all; their bones
need toil, their characters no less.” Trevelyan’s
seal blooded the deal table. The Relief
Committee deliberated: “Might it be safe,
Colonel, to give them roads, roads to force
From nowhere, going nowhere of course?”
one out of every ten and then
another third of those again
women – in a case like yours.
Sick, directionless they worked. Fork, stick
were iron years away; after all could
they not blood their knuckles on rock, suck
April hailstones for water and for food?
Why for that, cunning as housewives, each eyed –
as if at a corner butcher – the other’s buttock.
anything may have caused it, spores
a childhood accident; one sees
day after day these mysteries.
Dusk: they will work tomorrow without him.
They know it and walk clear. He has become
a typhoid pariah, his blood tainted, although
he shares it with some there. No more than snow
attends its own flakes where they settle
and melt, will they pray by his death rattle.
You never will, never you know
but take it well woman, grow
your garden, keep house, good-bye.
“It has gone better than we expected, Lord
Trevelyan, sedition, idleness, cured
in one. From parish to parish, field to field;
the wretches work till they are quite worn,
then fester by their work. We march the corn
to the ships in peace. This Tuesday I saw bones
out of my carriage window. Your servant Jones.”
Barren, never to know the load
of his child in you, what is your body
now if not a famine road?

Under my window, a clean rasping sound When the spade sinks into gravelly ground: My father, digging. I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds Bends low, comes up twenty years away Stooping in rhythm through potato drills Where he was digging.
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft Against the inside knee was levered firmly. He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep To scatter new potatoes that we picked, Loving their cool hardness in our hands.
By God, the old man could handle a spade. Just like his old man.
My grandfather cut more turf in a day Than any other man on Toner’s bog. Once I carried him milk in a bottle Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up To drink it, then fell to right away Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods Over his shoulder, going down and down For the good turf. Digging.
The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge Through living roots awaken in my head. But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.
Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests. I’ll dig with it.
