I forgot it was a day game, but honestly watching them play Venezuela didn’t seem that interesting.

I guess we will find out which teams want to show up on July 2nd. I assume it’s an evening game?

7:30pm Central

[TexasMan 10891]

Vargas and Mina just tried to outflop each other. 

[TexasMan 10891]

Will be interested to see how these subs go, because at the moment, this has the makings of a nil-nil PKs ending.

Nevermind. Another Chile goal taken off the board.

Mina isn't afraid to shoved someone who is in mid-air and then dive to the ground like he's been shot.

I think that he's been on the ground more than the next 3 players combined. (Can't understand why he didn't excel with Barcelona.)

[TexasMan 10891]

I hope Chile advances, only because it's a better storyline.

You got your wish.

The ConoSur is alive and well.

suarez is the laziest fucking vampire in the history of vampires

I hope it goes to penalties and he shanks his shot Baggio style.

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

he could have easily checked his run and still had a sure goal.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Hahaha. That will do.

[Firemans4Horn 18052]

3 0-0 draws this round. Yawn. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I think most will agree the Brazil game wasn’t boring. I nearly died a dozen times during it.

[Zepol87 9188]

The last game was pretty damn good as well

[Horn80 6123]

Curaçao takes some long shots.

Like from the Copa America all the way to The Gold Cup “LONG”?

 That sounds otherworldly!

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

The Albiceleste vs. the Seleção this Tuesday. Who ya got?

The Albiceleste vs. the Seleção this Tuesday. Who ya got?

As if you need to ask...

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

So ... Poland?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

No way Poland beats Togo.

If Brazil shows up, I don’t think Argentina wins, even if this particular Argentina squad plays its best. But, this Brazil at home, so I am also fully prepared for disappointment.

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

Brazil has played well, while the Argies have looked like shite all tournament, so I'd pick Brazil if I had to.

But like you said ...

I got Otamendi picking up a yellow card.

if Dí María plays, he should be shown one for diving as he enters the pitch just to get it out of the way. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

thing already getting spicy. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

awesome team goal.

I'm apparently staying in a house (in the LA area) with a massive TV in my room, but with zero ability to watch TV unless you have a Sling, Hulu, Netflix, or...? account.

The fact that this game is being shown for FREE on Telemundo just doesn't matter. I was able to watch the Women's match on a tablet and have charged up my laptop and got 10 minutes of free viewing before I now need to sign up for something.

Un/Fortunately, I was able to see Brazil's goal. It was absolutely clinical in its precision. The Argentine defenders that came near the ball played like "Level 1" defenders on a video game. Brazil cut through Argentina like a surgeon was drawing up the angles. It was beautiful football to the impartial eye, but I'm not impartial.

#sad

This has the feeling of the 2007 Final where Riquelme was marked out of the game and you barely remembered that he was even on the field. In 2019, that's Messi.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Dani Alves has been great. a true captain's performance thus far.

ESPN+ is $5/mo. Might be an option.

I thought that he was going to get away with elbowing someone in the throat and then, instead of getting a yellow or a red, he was going to draw a card on the opposition (Acuña), which he did after Acuña continued to argue with the ref. However the ref actually did the right thing and gave Alves a yellow as well. Alves is deadly on offensive, but one of the biggest bitches in the modern game when diving or committing cheap shots. I hate him, but I can understand how Swayze loves him. He can play thug ball and Barcelona ball in the snap of a finger.

It turned out that I could reboot the game and watch "10 minutes" more of the game (really just under 9 minutes after the commercials are done) and I have three different browsers on my laptop, so even if it makes me switch to a new one, I should be okay for most of the second half. Thanks though, ESPN+ might be an option going forward.

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

Swayze must flinch whenever he hears one of the commentators say "HAY-soos" instead of "ZHAY-soos."

i was yelling at my tv earlier because of that.

Yeah, in general I hate how the announcer pronounce all the Brazilian names.

That goal was great. Picture perfect futebol.

[Zepol87 9188]

Damn. So many chances

[DCA_HORN 725]

Bullshit call

[Zepol87 9188]

Wow

[DCA_HORN 725]

Goooooooaaaaaaallllllll

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

el perro es muerto.  viva el perro.

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

U.S.-quality defending there.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Porra!!! Malditos argentinos, vão tomar no cu!

[Napoleon 8682]

I was trying to reboot the game and missed the entire Goal #2. Just saw that it was 2-0 on ESPN.

Stick a fork in La Pulga.

What a thing of beauty! Wow

Definitely not buying tickets to Mexico v Argentina bc Messi is quitting this team in 20 minutes and I don’t wanna pay $ for a Messi-less Argentina. 

Edited July 3, 2019 by JNip

[Napoleon 8682]

Argentina will end with 9 players.

Martinez & Otamendi will not end the match on the pitch.

[DCA_HORN 725]

Are these refs from the osu game?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Hahahaha Arthur shoulder checking that fucker.

[achooloco 1072]

Arg getting robbed. At least two blown penalty shots. Where the fuck is var?! Refs bought like hell

Hahaha. That wasn’t a penalty.

[Firemans4Horn 18052]

It’s funny to me how shite this Argentina team is. 

[Braff Zacklin 13579]

That red-headed brasileira was ... gostosa.

[DCA_HORN 725]

Messi showed his age tonight.
