Nigga, are you kidding? Copa Libertadores makes National team play looks like a joke.
This video I watched live, last match of the year, basically who loses is RELEGATED (one of the worst sensations ever), Fluminense wins and saves itself (at some point they had 99% to be relegated). Coritiba in the other hand, this year was their 100th anniversary. Coritiba loses and hell breaks lose
Santos was relegated for the first time last year and guess what happens?
South americans take football very seriously, even more when things aren't going well.
And this isn't even talking about Torcidas Organizadas, where you have to understand who are your allies and who isn't so you can be sure when going to the stadium.
I still remember waking up to see my father's fave beaten up because he stepped on a X team while using a Y team.
And the lower leagues you go, people get more intense since it is their friends/neighboor team
Also finally Brazil won and it wasn't embarassing to watch, even more when Paraguay parks the bus so hard it is mostly 0x0
