I thought you were Brazilian... plot twist?

When it comes to nationalities, I'm the biggest plot twist around.

I was born in Paraguay. However, because my family is from Argentina, through a lot of document burocracy I ended up being officially Argentinian too. But I live in Brazil (Curitiba) since before my first birthday.

So essentially I'm officially an Argentinian who lives in Brazil. Though I support Argentina in football, I'd represent Brazil if I ever played Smash at an international tournament. And Paraguay, well, I pretend it doesn't exist.

About the match - damn that was the most boring 4-0 I've seen in a while.

Holy crap, that's a major plot twist indeed!

So, when Brazil is not playing against Argentina you support them, right?

We would have put a better fight against Argentina.

Absolutely agree. I was disappointed that Ecuador fell so early.  .-.

There was a big difference between conmebol and concacaf in this cup.

Haiti got 7 from Brazil and together with Jamaica they left without any points, Panamá recieved 5 from Argentina and 4 from Chile, Costa Rica also didn't advance (wasn't humilliated and beat Colombia though).

The big guys like México got 7 from Chile and USA now gets 4 from Argentina. Those 2 where the only ones that could make it out of their groups

Yep. But the difference was not only in this cup... it's overall throughout hystory. I think it's common sense that Conmenbol teams are vastly superior when compared to Concacaf. 

Plus, between Brazil (5x), Argentina (2x) and Uruguay (2x) there are 11 world cup titles for Conmenbol while Concacaf has none.
