It's probably best if they focus on trying to score against Colombia instead of having a go at each other.

Brazil lose

 

Somehow the Brazil fans will blame Alisson for onl saving 1 pen, not Militao and Luiz taking shit pens. 

 

The Brazil fans really don't seem to rate Alisson at all

I was in the stadium. Uruguay has some really passionate fans. I enjoyed the experience for sure but Brasil’s attack was disappointing to say the least. Not that Uruguay was much better but they seemed to have a plan. Endrick needs to get his head up on the ball if he’s going be anything like his hype says he should, and stop falling down at every opportunity too. 
 

Alisson chose the correct way for every penalty but the last one and if they weren’t perfectly placed he would’ve had more than one save. Militao’s penalty was a classic safe pen and if you hit then like that then there’s a chance they get saved, didn’t even really have power on it and mid-goal. Luiz maybe was a bit unlucky but as you said, can’t expect your keeper to bail you out twice against another talented team.

I wanted to add that the ref allowing both sides to get away with cynical foul and cynical foul for the first 65 minutes or so didn’t do anything to promote fluidity or attacking football.

Nice. I would love to have gone to a Copa game.

 

My wife’s cousin lives in Austin, his girlfriend is from Venezuela (she’s lovely). They went to the Jamaica game but I don’t think he could get the day off work to go to the Canada game in Dallas. 

The US side looks a mess at the moment, Columbia showed them what a crock of shite Panama are.

So it turns out Toni Kroos is a bit of a cunt.

Loose English translation of an interview in German with cherry picked quotes as well. Classic Twitter.

The amount of nazi's there he'll have his work cut out.

Old mate of mine made Welsh manager. He's got hell of a job on his hands. Bellamy has done loads over the years for the kids hospital up the road from me. His whole family and especially his old man Doug will be proud as punch today.  Good luck to him.

Argentinas games and line-ups so far in Copa America.

 

Semifinal against Canada tonight.

Good luck to Mac tonight and the other lads tomorrow night.

 

Reckon an Argentina Uruguay final.

 

Hoping Uruguay pull it off although of course will be happy for any of them.

I'd give us a 10% chance of a win. Argentina haven't been amazing in this tournament. Against any of Uruguay in Colombia in a possible final, about 5%.

A lot of people had a bet on that celebration. I think one of the bookies did a special. I didn't I missed out.

Davies with the self-substitution for Canada.

 

Messi, on the other hand, is still out there trying to increase Argentina's lead to 3.

Anyone know if De Paul survived?

Argentina needing to shithouse against us. Confirmation we are massive.

I'd forgotten about the significance of Bellamys relationship with Gary Speed, considering he's now following in his footsteps as the Welsh national team manager.
