"Copa America is for American countries"

bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-19978115
>Landlocked Paraguay is at the heart of South America, surrounded by Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil.

>Political unrest, corruption and chronic economic problems have plagued the country's fragile democracy since it emerged from the 35-year dictatorship of the late Gen Alfredo Stroessner in 1989.

>Around a quarter of Paraguayans live below the national poverty line. Much of the land is owned by a small number of individuals and successive governments have been slow to implement land reform.

>The economy is reliant on agriculture and hydroelectric power. Unlike its neighbours, Paraguay does not have a large tourism industry.

>Most of the population is of mixed Spanish and Guarani descent, known as mestizos, and speak the indigenous language Guarani as well as Spanish.

>The Triple Frontier region, where Paraguay meets Argentina and Brazil, has long been associated with drug-smuggling and other contraband trade.

I guess literally nothing

Last time I have checked it's called Cope AMERICA so he's right

>COPE america
yea sounds legitimate

AFC should invite Paraguay to the next Asian Cup

today ? nothing
in the past however they suffered the bloodiest war in South america :
>lost half of their population and 70% of the male one in a war in the late 1800's against Brazil , Uruguay and Argentina

Reminder thah we were forced into that war and we dindu.

>The Battle of Acosta Ñu or Campo Grande (Guaraní: Acosta Ñu ñorainõ) was a battle during the Paraguayan War, where, on August 16, 1869, between the Triple Alliance and Paraguay. The 3,500 poorly armed Paraguayans, mostly boys between nine and 15 years old (many wearing false beards), old men and wounded combatants, confronted 20,000 Brazilian veteran soldiers

In 1864, the President of Paraguay, a guy named Francisco Solano Lopez, basically decided that his country was the fucking shit and he launched a balls-out invasion of Brazil in an effort to rip away some contested territory that he thought should belong to Paraguay. Lopez’s attack brought in Argentina and Uruguay on the side of Brazil, which seems like it would be a really unfair fight if you look at the size of those countries on a map, but Paraguay had a fucking badass army at this time and for the first three years of the fight they honestly beat the shit out of everything in their path. By 1867, things were bad. Real bad. Argentina basically had to call all their guys back home to deal with a rebellion, and the Brazilian Army was looking at something close to 20,000 soldiers laid out in hospital beds dealing with a Cholera epidemic. Meanwhile Paraguay was building an epic string of World War I-style trench fortifications so intense that any attempt to assault then would be utter suicide. The Brazilians were demoralized, had been defeated multiple times, and something like 50 guys a day were literally dying from diarrhea and excessive barfing.
>Enter Baron Caxias. The lifelong warrior who has kicked ass up and down South America as the commander of his country’s most elite fighting force for over 50 years. A living goddamn legend and military demigod.
>Caxias showed up, put a clampdown on the disease epidemic by bringing in a fuckton of doctors, organized his troops, and prepared to lead his men on an epic attack so hardcore it would simply be known to historians as “The Deed of December.”

>Caxias’ primary objective was to not have to deal with all those bullshit cannon-infused trenches the Parguayans had set up all along their front. He did this by building a goddamn 8-mile-long road through the middle of the utterly-impenetrable Gran Chaco Swamp, crossing 31,000 soldiers over the Paraguay River on transports, and attacking the Paraguayan Army from the direction they least expected it.
>It worked perfectly – leaving a small force to hold the Parguayans in place, he somehow stealth-engineered an impossible road through knee-deep waters and ultra-dense scrub brush, encircled the enemy flank, and lined them up in his sights.
>His plan only hit one snag – the fighting spirit and huge balls of the Paraguan Army. Five thousand men of the Paraguan Rear Guard – outnumbered five-to-one by the massive might of the Brazilians – mounted a heroic resistance, somehow holding a bridge for several hours against repeated attacks. At one point the Paraguayans managed to send the Brazilian front lines into a full retreat, with panicked Brazilian troops crashing into the guys lined up behind them and threatening to derail the entire mission in one epic fail, but once again Baron Caxias stepped up his hero game and took charge of shit. Racing out on his horse, the Iron Duke drew his sword, cursed his men for cowardice, and shouted “Those who are true Brazilians, follow me!”
>Then the 64 year-old ex-Minister of War for Brazil fucking cavalry charged the Paraguayan riflemen by himself, with just a sword and a pistol. Inspired by the heroism of their leader, the Brazilians turned back, attacked, and won the day. The Paraguayans fought to the last man.

Following this incredible attack, Baron Caxias completed “The Deed of December” by defeating the Paraguayan Army in three separate battles, utterly destroying their ability to fight, and capturing the Paraguayan capital of Ascuncion. Once that was done, he went back to being Minister of War, a post he held until 1878. Emperor Pedro was make him a Duke, and even though the Imperial regime isn’t universally loved, Caxias is still seen as a paragon of honor and duty and is revered as the Patron of the Brazilian Army to this day. Statues of him can be found everywhere, and there’s even a town in the greater Rio metro area named “Duque de Caxias” in his honor.

When you start telling the war beginning from Paraguayan invasion of Brazil you are making crucial mistakes to really understand what happened. History is settled, proof of that is that the only people that still believe you are other Brazilians.Brazilian invasion of Uruguay, and the previous Civil War that was instigated by Argentina is never mentioned as reason of the war; let alone that the four countries were acting like retards to each other since the independence of Portugal and Spain respectively. Other aspect is that your historians simply denies masonic and bakers influence in the war.
>Pedro II
>Mitre
>Sarmiento
>Flores
All openly from masonic organizations, hell first Masonic lodge was founded in Paraguay when Brazil took Asuncion.

Lopez was mason too retard

most of soccer fans in Japan are pretty hyped for this, expecting young bois to do well against south american teams especially Kubo.
also it's rare for us to face off against fullbore strong teams

No he wasn't. That's another lie. Even masons say in his official website that they first came to Paraguay after Brazil conquered Asuncion, what does that tell you.

cope

Peace could only happen if Lopez left power and went into exile in Europe. Negotiations were useless because crazy Lopez never accepted that condition.if instead he was willing to hand over territory.

He's right but saying it right after drawing to fucking Qatar of all teams makes him look like a tool.

He looks like a South American Trent Reznor

NIN a shit

>Es conocida la iniciación de varios altos funcionarios durante el gobierno de Don Carlos Antonio López a bordo del buque británico "Locust" apostado en el puerto de Asunción (1853) donde tuvieron su rito de iniciación los neófitos paraguayos Tte.: de Navío Andrés Herreros, Germán Serrano, Vicente Barrios, Pedro V. Gill, Remigio Cabral y José Falcón en enero de 1853. Este buque trajo en misión oficial al representante británico Sir Charles Hotham, que reconoció oficialmente la independencia paraguaya y firmó sendos tratados de amistad, comercio y libre navegación.

>Sin embargo, la iniciación de Francisco Solano López se habría dado en París, durante el viaje que realizó en representación del gobierno paraguayo ante las potencias europeas de 1853 a 1854, años de los que data el retrato cuando tenía 26 o 27 años. El grabado se reproduce nuevamente en Madrid en el año 1862 cuando en un periódico español se informa de la muerte de Don Carlos, los beneficios de su gobierno y la asunción de Francisco Solano, con una breve biografía descriptiva - "Museo de las Familias", segunda serie, año vigésimo -.

Nice argument.
>Leave your country, your government will be whoever we say, pay reparatios and give us territory

Rio de Janeiro is really beautiful. I might be heading there for the Copa final.

>it is known
Yeah, assuming that's true you only provide info about government officials, posible traitors
>Maybe in Paris
Yes, I see, that's some solid information.

So are the conditions of defeat in that time, Rosas accept similar conditions. The war was already lost from the battle of el Riachuelo. He chose the dead of his nation.

copa america but no america, why is that

Those same conditions didn't changed even after the disaster of Curupayty, that battle was such a mess for the allies that it stopped the war for more than one year, why didn't the allies seek for more reasonable terms in that time if they did wantes the war? A war that it was supposedly brought by López and that Brazil and Argentina weren't prepared for it. War was ideological and they allies wanted López dead. Also, call it autism if you want to, but the people choose to follow his leader and die with him.

What

Even curupayti was less bloody than tuyuti, any European country would have looked peace unconditionally after a defeat like that in a normal war, yatayty cora was just a strategy of Lopez to gain time. Lopez also continued the war when there were only children left to fight. The only comparable historical event is the crusade of the childrens.

Why does it fucking matter if he stepped on this continent? It's still named after him, or does it not count because your autistic faggot asses says so?

Francisco Solano Lopez caught wind of your shitty government's plans to stage a coup d'etat in Uruguay since they were against being absorbed into the empire. After noticing this, he thought that if Uruguay could be subjugated, Paraguay had no guarantee that the same would be done to them. So, he wrote an "ultimatum" to Brazil, stating that any intervention on Uruguay would be seen as a casus belli

>yatayty cora was just a strategy of Lopez to gain time.
It wasn't, it was a legit peace conference.
López continued the war because "vencer o morir" and sheit. He stated that he couldn't surrender because that would be a waste of the sacrifice of his soldiers (or something like that) I'm not saying that was a correct choice. Again, the people followed his leader, there were multiple times were he told civilians to retreat and trust in the compassion of the allies, and the people rejected that order. Among the people they were kids, where would you put the kids? In a children's day care center? Kids fighting in war was pretty normal in wars along history, not ideal for sure. But even Brazil and Argentina have some kids among their soldiers. None of this change the fact that Pedro II started the war and Mitre sold Argentina to Brazil

Not him, but you fail to understand that Brazil was planning the war against Paraguay even before invading Uruguay, there are even letters among Brazilians official considering a war against Paraguay even since Dr. Francia was president of Paraguay. The war was unavoidable because Brazil was always the warmonger of La Plata, taking the lead and invading Matto Grosso and Corrientes, was the best that López could do. Winning wasn't quite possible anyways.

What the fuck were we supposed to do? Uruguay had had six gorillion civil wars at that point and we were just a proxy war playing ground for Brazilian, Argentinians and French/British. From 1807 onwards Uruguay barely had any moment of peace.

We weren't able to isolate ourselves like the Paraguayans, there wasn't any patriotism or nationalism like they had, half the population wanted to be Brazilian, the other half wanted to be Argie, being Blanco or Colorado was more important than nationality. It was a fucking mess.

I don't think Uruguay should feel guilty about being part of the Paraguayan War. We were forced by Brazil because we didn't give a fuck land 1000kms away when our country eas tearing itself apart. Nothing but a lowly peon in 3D chess.

literal history teacher, let me put some shit straight
1. The war was started by Paraguay in their attempts to change de balance of power in the region.
2. The brazilian government did everything they could to force Paraguay into an offensive.
3. The gist is:
Paraguay -> "anti-liberal"
Brazil -> "liberal"
Argentina -> recently "liberal" (c.1862)
Urugay *never ending struggle between "liberals" and "antis"
Come to 1864, and both argies and brs supported the "liberal" side on urGAY, while the paraguayans supported the "anti" side. Brazil invaded Uruguay to help their guys and Lopez(the paraguay guy) saw that as an attack on his country.
4. The key strategical reason for the war was the control of the navegation of the rivers in the paraná region, in particular, river Paraguay. Brazilians need to go through Paraguay to move merch from Mato Grosso to Rio de Janeiro using the rivers; Paraguay wanted control of the rivers and Brazil wanted a bigger piece of Mato Grosso.
5. The bulk of the war was the offense on a fortified post called Humaitá, trench WW1 style almost.
6. The allied forces were commanded by a literal overrated pussy bitch called Mitre that didn't know anything about combat.

>Come to 1864, and both argies and brs supported the "liberal" side on urGAY, while the paraguayans supported the "anti" side.

>Be Berro
>Get your throat cut
>150 go by. Get called antiliberal by an argie writing in English on Yea Forums

Fuck his life

That's why I put quotation marks. When people talk about liberals in southamerica in those times it's always """""liberals"""""", and its always like that to simplify.

Azerbaijan is fully in Europe, so is Georgia, but not Armenia, although this one is so culturally close to the other two that it is almost always considered European as well. Kazakhstan is just a little bit in Europe, so that I can also understand the concern. The reason they are in UEFA is not because they were USSR states, or else Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan would also be in UEFA.

What is this? sudaca /his/ topic on my Yea Forums?

Caxias do Sul, the Tite homeland is named in honour to him too. Duque de Caxias is the place that him born.

Yeah you are right. Colorados were supposed t be liberal but were authoritarian as fuck. It makes no sense.

We have no "objective" historical studies of that time as far as I know, so I guess we can only fall back on what our countrymen wrote and fling shit at the other side

but brazilian narrative is hateful because they have zero intention to take blame as the bad guys they are
they're as annoying as yanks
anyways, back on topic, we can't take blame for whatever an argie coach says, everyone knows argies are blabbermouths

Would South Americans dare invite a country that has been destroying their teams for many years now, like, for example, Germany?

Or are only shit teams allowed?

only teams that beat the lower

Northern Ireland is the original FA. The Republic of Ireland FA was a breakaway rebel FA started primarily in Dublin because of perceived unfairness from the Northern Ireland FA (which was the All-Ireland FA at that time).
Most team sports in Ireland are organized on an All-Ireland basis.

The Argie is right.

not sure how the negotiations are but UEFA teams always put excuse they're too busy with Eurocup
and this year CONCACAF teams gave the same excuse, Gold cup is being disputed now there
the way things are going we'll have to ask Tahiti and New Zealand to play in future Copa América. sad state of events

That sounds incredibly cuck.

Oh so Venancio Flores was Urgayan? Theres a street in Rio named after him.
