it’s called home field advantage and learning to deal with it

I was born in a city close to La Paz, which is even higher. It’s a flex going to the sea level and beating everyone in endurance😂

Home advantage just like when Canada plays in -20 Celsius weather

Mbappe: south american football isnt as advanced as european football meanwhile south americans having to play above the clouds:

Heimvorteil next level

I think the problem is that Neymar is so used to spending time on the floor..

That's some high level competition right there

It shouldn't be banned. Some places are really hot, some are extremely cold, some are always pouring and some are snowy. Unless you ban all these things somehow, this stadium should stay 👍

You can’t ban a city from playing football

Average lowland fan( Neymar) vs Average Mountain enjoyer(Bolivians)

Home advantages in South America are on another level

People make fun of Neymar for wanting a ban on this stadium but if a stadium like this in Europe, everyone will be complaining about it. Hypocrites.

I'm from bolivia and Maradona has said before that the altitude isn't really a big problem if the teams get there with more time to get used to the altitude before the match. In our teams we have many players that aren't from here and they get used to the altitude and perform like in any other pitch. The mistake is that teams get a day or two prior to the match.

That's why the South America qualifiers are actually the hardest. The Heat of Barranquilla (Colombia) and some cities of Venezuela, the altitud of La Paz (Bolivia) and Quito (Ecuador), now adding that Perú might also play in a high altitud city (Arequipa), so idk i think it's ok like that, it's part of it ig

Mbappe: latinoamerica isnt as hard as europe latinoamerica:

Seems like an absolutely gigantic home advantage

"Guys let's make health problems for footballers to make it more interesting" -the creator of the stadium edit: I know it's not the creators fault it's just a small little thing called sarcasm

The Messi vomiting doesn‘t have anything to do with the stadium. It‘s because he has an chronical illness.

For things like this is why southamerican football will always be (for me) the most difficult, tough and competitive minded football in the world, next level

This is why Conmebol has the most difficult world cup Qualifiers. Imagine going from that Altitude to then play against Colombia a few days later where humidity plays a big factor

Imagine how hard it would be to breathe

I am half bolivian half german. In Germany I suffered from Asthma when I was small. Doing exercise was very exhausting but one day my family decided to go visit the rest if my family in Bolivia La Paz. My parents were a concerned about how the altitude would affect my asthma but some weird reason, even when the air was way thinner up there, I could breathe perfectly, I started doing tons of sport and I got cured from my Asthma after a while. Because of that my family decided to move to LA Paz even though we had bought a new house in German a while ago. I joined many football teams and was known in my school for being ine of the fastest and for being the one with the most strength

Problem is they don't get used to it before playing, normally they arrive just a day or two before the actual match day and the body isn't adapting well enough just yet, the body should get used to it but it does take time, since they're always moving I guess they have no time to adapt

“So really high level games” was that intentional? 😂

Alot of South American pitches are also in a very bad shape. They have to deal with extreme heat as well. People that say European wolrd cup qualifyiers are the toughest in the world have no idea what they are talking about. They have the best football pitches the planet with cool weather.

This is why South american teams have to try harder to qualify

When mbappe criticized south american football, I immediately thought “ok, go and play in bolivia and lets see if youre a tough guy”

I'm from Bolivia this is the only way we win games. Let us keep our stadium😭😭😭

Great voice mate! Also very clear pronunciation which makes it easier for non-native English speakers like myself 😅

As a Bolivian this is just funny

High level matches at a high altitude 😂

Dang 3600 meters is no joke especially when doing physical activities

They should keep playing there because it is their home.

It's like supa strikas 😂

Adds a new meaning to HOME advantage

Everytime you think South American football "Isn't good" remember you don't have to play in this stadium, looking at you Mbappe

This is what Europeans don’t understand about South American qualifiers also happens in Quito and some Peruvian stadiums

Doesn't matter the players from this stadium will have higher stamina than regular players

I’ve been to La Paz and rode the cable car and saw this stadium. I am out of breath walking the countless stairs and the road inclination everywhere doesn’t help. It must be brutal for those visiting players to chase the ball on such high elevation…

I've heard the same about the Estadio Azteca. High altitude, smog, and rowdy crowds.

We all need a Harry Maguire masterclass up there

Cool when you hear it but painful when you actually experience it

Wouldn’t be a bad exercise as an away team to improve its strength

I mean let's be real. This is the same reason why the Estadio Azteca is so difficult to play in, but nobody complains about Mexico hosting their games there. Hell, we've had 2 World Cup FINALS held there and the Azteca sits at an elevation of 2200m. This is only a complaint because Bolivia isn't a major country and teams like Brazil and Argentina are only complaining because they think they're too good to have to play against a nation like Bolivia in the first place

In my geography lesson today we were talking exactly about this

Yeah, and the biggest and most unfair thing is when the Bolivia's national team plays there, like they have a huge advantage against any oponent

Being a Local in South America (either in clubs and national teams) is a lot more meaningfull. Not only for geographic reasons, but for the fans too. For example, Bolivia and Ecuador have the attitude of La Paz and Quito respectively, Colombia has the extremely hot climate of Barranquilla, Perú has the arid and dry climate of Lima, etc. I think the only teams with "perfect" climate are central Argentina and Uruguay, the rest have at least one advantage.

The differences between normal athletes and great athletes are their ability to adapt to their environment. A world cup team should be able to play at this level

It was at this moment when Neymar and Messi 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Inhumane... 😂 Imagine the workers and habitants of this city go crying about the altitude to their bosses😂

And LEO scored a hatrick there to bring Argentina to the world cup 🐐

I used to live in Johannesburg,1600m asl, and every time I came back from my holydays in France, any physical exercice was inhuman. And it’s only half the altitude

Never! Stadiums like these are what makes football special and unique.

Ah so that's why Aguero couldn't play for Argentina, got it

I live in a very high place in Colombia and i have played also in places like the US and the difference is very noticeable however the height isn’t the worst thing on the world if the players arrive like a day before there bodies would be able to adapt a bit to the height fixing most issues they have

The biggest problem is the massive headaches the lack of oxygen brings. You either must arrive at the place like 1-2 hours before the match or you must stay there for over 1 week to get used. So, the problem is much less La Paz, which has an airport... and much more some even HIGHER stadiums where clubs play the Libertadores. There is a stadium in Bolivia, 4300 meters above sea level. And a small city where you must travel by bus. So you can´t arrive just before the match.

your accent is really nice just like your football knowledge ❤️

I thought it would be the people living in the buildings near it getting free matches

Keep it Every country must use its geographical advantages it has, they're as valuable as strategy in football I'm from Mexico, Estadio Azteca is also a really high altitude stadium, i think every country must find the way to take advantage of their geography, that being the altitude, heat, cold, wind, population, sun, brightness, darkness, ambient sound, everything

It's called Home Advantage. If the Bolivian players have been playing there comfortably without dying then the visitors must adapt or give a walk over. Bolivia doesn't go around complaining about the other teams low altitude stadiums.

Everytime Neymar opens his mouth, he should have chosen not to.

Ich muss schon sagen du machst echt n geilen Job. Kreative Themen, sehr informativ und vor sau krasse Aussprache. Keep 🆙 your good work!!

it's fair, you don't see people banning brazilian stadiums for being too hot and humid or Stoke for being too rainy and cold

It's called home field advantage and I love to see it. Look at American sports; they don't ban Denver from having professional teams because they're high altitude. Rather, the city embraces it, and other teams have to work around it.

It shouldn't be played on for international games. It just makes it more difficult for no reason. Just move to the national stadium to a city outside the capital that isn't as high up.

The only people who push for the banning of la paz stadiums are only the Brazilians who have the ego inflated and can't stand loosing to a "bad" team as bolivia. It's really not that serious the harm everyone is talking about and the only thing that happens is that players get more easily tired, that's literally it, it makes bolivia win more sure but it's not an unfair advantage as people makes you believe, specially when you consider that they don't even win that much and other south american nations have high altitudes as well.

Home field advantage, Glodelania also have that, teams from colder countries like Norway and Sweden can't play properly in Glodelanian stadiums like the Santa Marietta World Cup Stadium due to extreme heat at dry season.

They call “la altura” Bolivia’s 12th player. I can see why people would say it’s home field advantage but I think it’s kind of inhuman to play there. However, that can be said about sea level stadiums or very cold/hot weather conditions as well.

Ever since i have started watching your vids you have been excellent top rated youtuber your so underated

Once I went to Chile in the altitude of 3100 meters above the sea level. I managed to practice sports there with no issues. Today I live in the altitude of 1200 meters above the sea level in Brazil

They should train there.

This is the only stadium where all away teams loses especially if they aren't from La Paz.

If the stadium is fine, it is fine.

Hauptstadt is Sucre min Jung La Paz nur Regierungssitz…. Morgen DerbySieg 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This stadium takes Coors Field to a whole new level, figuratively and literally.

It’s cool. This comes from another South American (🇪🇨). This give advantage the mountains teams like Ecuador, Bolivia, and even Peru. Makes things more interesting in the qualifiers

I am sure this is where the Los Pollos Hermanos was first found. It certainly gives you the high.

But Bolivia play there with no problems. Just a home advantage

Once you conquer these conditions you will become a monster.

There's something similar with Mexico at the Estadio Azteca because of it's altitude as a USMNT player once said that when you warm up for 5 minutes it feels like you've played a full 90 minutes. But it's a huge home advantage to Mexico as they super rarely ever lose at home in the qualifers as they only lost at home twice. Costa Rica in 2001 and Honduras in 2013

It's quite literally a skill issue. I mean the Argentine national team beat Bolivia at La Paz during the WC qualifiers so I don't see any reason why others cannot do the same. However since this is coming from Neymar, I believe he feels uncomfortable rolling on the floor at such a high altitude.

not nessacery

When you realise the accuracy of Supa Strikas

It's home field advantage. Without it Bolivia may not get any points at all during qualifiers. The altitude is literally all they have going for them.😊

The home team will always maximise their advantage like putting away fans in the top stand way at the back. These guys just take it to the extreme 😂

It also helps that Bolivia has a bigger stadium in a different city which is actually higher in population and more central. That stadium is only about 400m above sea level

This is why the US Olympic Team trains in Colorado Springs at 6000 ft {1800m}. This puts them at a definite advantage when playing at sea level. Similar complaints were made about the Olympic Games at Mexico City at 7200 ft (2200m)

Could you imagine that this was your training ground and you became so used to this that your stamina entered a whole nother level

This reminds me of a team in supa strikes who their home ground is also high in the mountains but the temperature is so low and teams usually lose energy in the final ten minutes and crack under the pressure and end up losing

Another interesting thing to point out is that at high elevations there is lower air density so the ball can be kicked further and can move faster than kid possible at sea level potentially making it easier to score goals

Kinda related, but both the Denver Broncos and Denver Nuggets have distinct home field advantages in the NFL and the NBA due to altitude. In my opinion, it's not inhumane, moreso these athletes not getting properly prepared for playing with less oxygen.

Ecuador stadium also offer similar experience. 2700 m above sea level. And Leo messi managed to score a hat trick to take Argentina to the world cup

MMA fighters have the same issue, so they just prepare themselves prior to the games. If they won't ban the stadium, then allow the players to be there at least 1 week before the game.

Messi once played there and dominated the game. They went down 2 goals early and Messi took over the match. I think it was a must win game for them to qualify in 2018 wc

They took home fiels advantage to the next level dawg😂

It is part of the folklore of South American fútbol, it is a stadium where the locals have the advantage but where the points of the classifications are reversed

I went to La Paz some time ago, and I think it is unfair to play under those conditions, it is really hard to breathe and those players already play there for training

I think it’s interesting to see players who are acclimated to the pitch playing against the best in the world and dominating

The players should just have better stamina. It's their homes stadium for a reason, and if a player is too tired he will just ask for a substitution

when people are puking during games its a bit much, its a health issue. FIFA didn't say "home advantage, deal with it" with the World Cup, they moved it to the Winter and set out regulations to make it better
