CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying

This coming week sees rounds 15 and 16 of CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying. Despite the fact that none of the domestic leagues are taking a break on the continent, players will be flying in from all over Europe to take part in these fixtures. No bigger game this weekend than the one in Rosario where the "Old Firm" of the region square off in a game that has been moved at the request of Diego Maradona to try and generate the intimidating atmosphere that the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires just can't recreate.

They line up as follows

Round 15 take place on Saturday

Colombia v Ecuador
Peru v Uruguay - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Paraguay v Bolivia - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Argentina v Brazil - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Chile v Venezuela

Round 16 takes place next Wednesday

Bolivia v Ecuador
Uruguay v Colombia - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Paraguay v Argentina - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Brazil v Chile - Live in the UK on SKY Sports
Venezuela v Peru

A round up of these games will appear sometime next week.
