    Advantage to the south American sides giving energetic performances due to having more air to breathe? Mexico & Peru showed great altitude. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    They get less air to breathe at high altitude. Also Mexico isn't in South America. Other than that, good post.

    True, so playing at a lower altitude gives them a slight advantage no?

    In theory yes, but how many of their side actually play and therefore live in Peru?

    I think Dixon didn’t go to school. Second Behrami foul, but that equals 4.
