fun fact: had chile not protested their 0:0 draw against bolivia, they would have finished 5th and still have a chance to qualify.

chile won a CAS decision concerning an ineligible bolivian player (cabrera), turning the draw into a 3-0 victory. however, the same player also played against peru, so their 0-2 loss against bolivia was also overturned into a 3-0 win, meaning peru effectively gained one additional point on chile - which turned out to put them ahead of chile in the final table...


what the fuck :rofl:

Not to mention that, with that scenario, Paraguay would have just needed a draw (so probably would have taken less risks) and Colombia would have been already qualified against Peru (so Peru might have faced less resistance and won their game, instead of just drawing it).

Heck, even a lot more results would probably be different, as Bolivia wouldn't have given up so early, and the mentality of every game would be different.

Fun fact, sure, but it's impossible to say what would have happened if they hadn't reported Bolivia.
