Rolo And I will be rooting for Peñarol.

E tu Ricardo? I expected the knife in the back from Rolo, but not from you.

There aren't enough opportunities to use that. Well done Gordon.

Would be kinda cool if Nacional were National Champions and Peñarol were Continental Champions.

Me 3.

I'm surrounded by enemies.

Im Santos Gord

I was just saying it be cool, if it makes you feel better I want Santos to win, they are my favorite team from Brazil and fuck Uruguay.

Santos will win.

Gordon, Santos is doomed.

@Sean & Che: Thanks for the support.

Santos have a player called Danilo. I'm sold.

Tim Vickery talking about the Libertadores final. Just posting it for anyone who has heard his voice, but had no idea what he looked like.

Should I view it, oh my god, if I see Tim's face I just might go nuts

C'Mon Santos!

Not.What.I.Expected.

Also presenter sounds like Fernando Duarte

They all sound like they have peanut butter in their mouths

Vickery's voice is still smooth tho' rocking the pink shirt too mang

Fernando Duarte is so weird man, he sounds like one of those Dutch pothead's when he talks

Neymar to show real quality to all South America with quality displays in both games. Santos will win this and if they don't it'll be a disgrace to be honest. Penarol shouldn't have even advanced from the semi-s so I expect a sound win from Santos, and they will win.

Score Predictions?

Will Ganso be healthy enough to make an appearance for the second leg?

Santos should win this but it won't be comfortable as I believe that Peñarol will be very,very physical. Uruguayans are very sneaky dirty players. (Reason why I enjoy watching Uruguayos play)

Yeah, he's expected to be fit for the 2nd leg.
