Copa America 2024 back in the USA!!

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Argentina tryna FAFO.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Couple of big saves by Emi, otherwise the Argies are down right now.

[Ted Lange 16083]

Chile has been the better team for the last 15 or so

[Gucci_Suit 2642]

This game is crazy entertaining 

[Buzzrock 14902]

Kinda fun to watch the ref call no fouls. All the flailing is for nothing. 

[Captain Ron 12866]

ARGENTINA!!!

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Haha @ that Olimpico attempt from Messi.

 

And on the next corner, GOOOOOOOL!!!!

Chile didn’t deserve anything from this game.

[Napoleon 8660]

Two Argentine’s offsides but were at both posts, so it’s a good goal.

In my opinion.

Just a heard a bunch of horns honking and people yelling down on the street next to my apartment in Palermo, BA. I guessed Argentina scored. 

[Captain Ron 12866]

God CONMEBOL does this so shitty. UEFA has this down so tight. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Why is VAR taking so long? Watching in Spanish so not even sure what the VAR is about.

Thats ok neither did the English. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Claudio Bravo is a treasure. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

This has been a very entertaining match. Not necessarily well played (or well finished), but very entertaining.

[Captain Ron 12866]

I was entertained

One of my favorite things is hear 

“GOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!”

Out of windows…
-Di Maria’s goal vs Switzerland late in O.T. (118’)*
-Higuaín’s goal vs Belgium (YouTube)

Fucking love the screams when I can’t be in front of a TV.

*I was in the Recoleta Cemetery giving a tour to some UT business school students (some undergrad, some grad school), so I had to miss OT.

We’re not too far into the tour, but fairly near the middle of the walled cemetery with 12” to 20” tombs of various architectural styles around us and I heard…

A low wind blowing sound that slowly started building and then exploded in a tidal wave of sound that came crashing down on us like several tons of ocean water and I got goose bumps as some of the kids kind of wondered what that sound was.

I was grinning like the Cheshire Cat and taking huge breaths before explaining what we just heard.

Love that memory. Love hearing “Gooolll!!!” out windows. Something I definitely miss.

Jamaica looks disorganized.

[Napoleon 8660]

Vamos Fucking Ecuador!!!

🇪🇨

Plus, I like their kits.

[Brisketexan 105057]

So tonight....we're totally pulling for Venezuela to pants Mexico, right?

[Napoleon 8660]

Venezuela and Ecuador absolutely are the two best teams in this group. 

Ecuador is far and away the best team in this group, but they got fucked by the Valenzuela red card. 

We are lucky that Mexico’s 3rd game will mean something to their opponent. This way they won’t be given a free point or three. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Score one for the Fighting Marleys.

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Me thinks da Reggae Boyz about to get a chance to equalize.

 

Wow, that is very inconsistent refereeing there. Definitely some CONCACAF/CONMEBOL-level shithousing and fixing going on, imo. That was dodgy af.

[Chips O'Toole 1322]

Completely nonsensical no-call on that handball. Like, holy shit. 

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

That was ridiculous. How do you see that and not call a PK?

[Ted Lange 16083]

Jamaica kits are great.  The federation is in such shambles, I assumed they’d get blown out despite the talent they have. 

[Ted Lange 16083]

That seemed like the easiest goal ever 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Well, that'll probably do it.

Folks will see the 3-1 final score and the rigged decision to not award Jamaica a PK for the obvious handball will be forgotten. But if the handball had resulted in a PK and Jamaica equalized, very doubtful Ecuador has that breakaway opportunity. Domino effect, imo.

Fuck Mexico.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

First goal kick of the night... And the trash fans do their thing, even as the stadium audio was quickly turned down to try to avoid broadcasting it.

[Ted Lange 16083]

😂😂😂😂

Those are tots that belong to me, not you.

[Hagbard Celine 10849]

i'm just trying to get my head around the idea of tater tots on tortilla chips with normal nacho fixins

meanwhile la tri fans look at this fixture as a macho-man must-rape because mexiaggy are a massive side on par with argentina and brazil

PENAL!

[Captain Ron 12866]

PENAL!!!

[beer 3220]

Well chinga

[Hagbard Celine 10849]

welp saddle up for the rock fight on the way for the next 30 minutes

tri are going to go berserk

[Captain Ron 12866]

I just flipped on the game at the half and I gotta say that Venezuela looks a good bit better than Mexico. Faster, more technical, just better. I will say this, Mexico could be in trouble.

[cmontexas 3270]

Somebody is going to die tonight in Inglewood

[Captain Ron 12866]

Uh, that should be at least a yellow. Pending VAR - it could be a red.

 

On my replay - No red - yellow only for Vega - IMHO

[Anastasis 23458]

No card there lol?

[beer 3220]

No way they were equally responsibl

One each way 

 

[Anastasis 23458]

This is erratic. 

[Captain Ron 12866]

I like this ref, he seems to have a good grasp of the game. Looked him up - he's Brazilian. Really looks to have control of things

This is a good example, he gives a card each way because Vega doesn't shove him if Navarro doesn't get in his face. Nip unnecessary confrontations before they happen.

[Jerry Callo 8695]

How did mx not score on that?

[Captain Ron 12866]

JP Dellacamera I have a piece of advice.
