Compared to the massive qualifying competitions that UEFA and AFC use to determine which countries will and will not get to send teams to the World Cup, the CONMEBOL qualifiers are downright simplistic. Featuring just 10 teams who play each other in a round robin series of home and away matches, the 2018 World Cup CONMEBOL qualifiers don't involve any complicated group stage calculations or multi-round qualification steps. Instead, each team plays 18 matches apiece, and the four or five at the top of the standings when those are done get to participate in FIFA's global football tournament.
Still, while the CONMEBOL qualifiers look simple on paper, South American football teams actually have to play more matches apiece than any UEFA countries do. As a result, CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup will begin relatively soon-October 2015, versus the UEFA start date of September 2016. So what does the schedule look like for the first matches? And which teams should be expected to - July 06, 2015
Lionel Messi may be widely touted as the best football player in the world (or at very least, as one of the two best), but international titles have mostly eluded him throughout his career. Other than a 2005 World Youth Championship victory and a 2008 Olympic Gold Medal, Leo's run with the Argentina national football team hasn't yielded the sort of accolades that many might have expected from soccer's most dynamic talent. The frustration continued for Messi and his Argentine squad over the weekend, as the White and Sky Blues finished as runners-up in the 2015 Copa America. Chile win 2015 Copa America, but is was a close game that could have gone either way.
Frontrunner Status

In this Lionel Messi player profile we attempt to answer the most frequently asked questions about this infamous football player including: Is Lionel Messi the greatest player in modern football? Is he the
greatest to ever play the game, period? Both claims have been made in the past, and there are strong arguments to support each of them. Standing at five-feet, seven-inches in height and turning 28 years old at the end of June, Messi remains one of the most exciting people in the sports world, and-along with Cristiano Ronaldo-soccer's foremost star.
But what makes Lionel Messi so great? Why do fans-from youth supporters in the Argentina kids home jersey 2015 2016, to adult supporters in the Barcelona home shirt 2015 2016-worship the very ground he walks on? Is it his play style? The - June 10, 2015
Lionel Messi is widely considered the greatest living football player, and arguably the greatest of all time. Yet despite his seemingly limitless skill and his long list of awards, superlatives, and titles, the 27-year-
old soccer star has yet to lead his home country to a victory at the Copa America. This year, the Argentine star and team captain will look to change that fact with a strong run at the Copa America 2015. The event, which will commence in Chile this Thursday, June 11th, will be the first incarnation of the tournament since Argentina lost at home in 2011.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup culminated last night in the much-anticipated final that was staged at the Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. After a thrilling tournament the Germany football jerseys met those of the Argentina national soccer team to
decide which team would be crowned champions of the world!

Many expected the final to be between the hosts and the team wearing the Argentina football shirt. Germany was always viewed as a strong competitor, but the fact that until last night no European - July 04, 2014Argentina is thought of as one of the world's greatest sporting nations. They have won 2 World Cup titles in 1978 and 1986, and have had a number of star players on their roster. In the teams hay-day the infamous Diego Maradona lit up Argentinean
football pitches, and today the Argentina football shirt 2014 is proudly bestowed by no other than Lionel Messi.
