    Conmebol still without a win after 4 games. Paraguay was an absolute
    disaster and Brasil very underwhelming. Ecuador IMHO played well on a
    very even game, which I felt that could have gone either way, but I
    don't think they can complain really as they were made to pay for their wastefulness. Uruguay dominated Saudi Arabia in the second half and IMHO deserved to win, but Al-Owais stopped them.

    I guess Argentina and Colombia are clear favorites against Algeria and Uzbekistan, but this has been a poor showing by Conmebol thus far.
