That ban was overturned after protests from the Bolivian president. FIFA made exemptions (

Maradona also supported Bolivia playing at the altitudeI think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty.

Do Bolivia's home odds generally reflect this or are the bookies not upto speed on it?Originally posted by Joe King View Post

Never bet against Keane when it comes to internationals as he always scores the cruical goals"All I'll ever do is all I've ever done in any job, and that's promise to fight for my life for the supporters and the people of the city"Comment

I didnt exactly 'bet against Keane' though did i?
I bet on the world champions winning at home against a bunch of no-marks. Probably would've won if they werent reduced to 10 men after about 5 minutes.
Not to be.Comment

The Argies were odds on to beat Bolivia, 4/7 i think'Religion is killing each other over who has the best imaginary friend'Comment

So that means Bolivia must've been a decent price for a home side, playing in high altitude.Originally posted by Ben_Itez View Post
I looked at their qualifying record at home for this qualification campagin so far:
Played 6
Won 3
Drawn 2
Lost 1
So while they dont often lose at home, some visiting sides can obviously cope with the altitude.Comment

I'm not clued up on this high altitude stuff.
What does it actually do to you?Comment

Argies drifted to near evens before kick off. They're often around 6/4 when they play the decent teams like Paraguay, Uruguay etc, 3/1 or so vs Brazil, Argentina and odds on against the crap like Peru and Venezuela. And like you say despite all the altitude stuff their record isnt anything special, it might be worth looking into what teams struggle there but generally they're to unreliable to make money off by the look of it.Comment

Something to do with you taking in less oxygen I think and you can get bad sickness, headaches, dizzyness etc etc. You adjust after a while obviously but it must be a right pain just going there for a few days trying to play a game.Comment
