Copa America 2024 back in the USA!!

[Captain Ron 12862]

FUCK! Carly Lloyd fucking sucks. And we gotta deal with her for a month.

[Captain Ron 12862]

She is nuts. As was Alexi for asking Is Messi best player in world right now? Which is an easy no.

But for her to then mention Bellingham and Pulisic?!?!?!?! Come on!!!

[Macklemore 2876]

It’s already getting lit in Atlanta. Let’s go Argentina!!!

Maybe she was listing two of the best native-English-speaking players in the world right now.

If that’s the case, then those are 2 of the top 10, I would say.

Italy trying to take back the European Diving Champion  🥇 back from Spain after the Iberians have held it for the last 15 years. 

[Napoleon 8658]

About 2 seconds before the Italian LWB fell to the ground (about 3-4 minutes ago) I thought-

“Italy is about to take a dive, because they can’t get the ball out.”

[beat]

[DIVE]

Two seconds. Why the refs reward that shit with a whistle is beyond me. 

[Napoleon 8658]

Just wondering if Carli Lloyd is the granddaughter of Karl Malden.

[Macklemore 2876]

I made sure to get a new Argentina jersey with the 3rd World Cup Champion star on the AFA crest in time for Copa America. Let’s go Argentina!!!!

Loved that there was a prayer. Props to Conmebol.

[LonghornSean 3989]

Commentary audio is a couple seconds behind the video for FS1. Annoying.

[WBT 20559]

Not so sure of this high back line Canada is playing.  They've survived a Di Maria breakaway and a few other chances but it seems like a matter of time.

Anyone else's audio seem about a second behind the action?

Yeah it's really tempting me to switch to the Spanish broadcast. 

[WBT 20559]

Davies is creating some problems

[Macklemore 2876]

Wow Canada should have had one there. Come on Argentina don’t do another shit job like losing to Saudi Arabia in the first game of the last World Cup.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

This is a fun game. Canada should have nabbed one on that point blank header. 

[WBT 20559]

Canada with a great chance but head it right into Dibu's shins

[WBT 20559]

Tight angle but Alvarez probably should have scored there.  Caught an edge.

Entertaining 1st half

Phew, I thought it was the gummy.

There it is.  Should be a card for the keeper too

[Macklemore 2876]

Finally Argentina!!!

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Jeez, nice goal but that should be a card in the Canadian keeper. 

[TexasMan 10891]

Was that going to be a penalty if there wasn't an immediate goal afterward? 

[Captain Ron 12862]

It was only a matter of when. And that was it.

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

i need to see the collision again slowmo

[WBT 20559]

Messi doing Messi things with that through ball.

Nice for Fox to throw it down for inane sideline talk during the buildup.  They just had an extra long HT for that fluff...focus on the game.

And Strong thinking the goal was disallowed for some reason.

They don't have the slow mo, but there is no question this should be a card.

Saudi Arabia has an xG of 0.15 in that game and scored 2 goals. 

It was pure luck.

Can we talk about that distro from Emi, though? (Chef's kiss)

[WBT 20559]

Oh man, if he had chipped that last defender 1 on 2...

[Captain Ron 12862]

This ref sucks - where is he from?

Jesus Valenzuela from Venezuela 

[Derka 6135]

“messi, bellingham, pulisic.” lol

Emi’s ball control looks like a guy who used to play in the field.

He is calm, never freaks out. He’s like the polar opposite of the USA keepers. Not just Turner. Zack Steffen also sucks with the ball at his feet no matter how many times announcers say that he’s good with the ball at his feet. No idea on Horvath, but I don’t recall anything but Spaz Boy ball control. 

[Derka 6135]

messi looking his age a bit there.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Argentina MIGHT rue some of these misses - if Canada steals a point tonight.

[NorthLoop 14180]

Crepeau making some good stops - just needs to do better coming off his line. It's like he's never played against fast guys before.

Stu Holden is watching knee-to-knee contact and thinks that it is a little bit of a touch on his ankle. 

What a fucking REGARD!

He hasn't.

[Macklemore 2876]

This game has been so fucking frustrating. We should have at least 4 goals and missed so many bunnies.

[Captain Ron 12862]

Well that does it for tonight.

[WBT 20559]

Nice

[Derka 6135]

that was smooth.

Not anymore. When it was just 1, there was a sliver of a chance for them to get a lucky goal.

[Orale 1087]

I'm in Buenos Aires and just heard a bunch of yelling on the street beneath my apartment. I forgot the game was going on. /CSB
