Brooks playing out of his mind other than that last play. Wood a solid half.
Backline looks reborn after last year. But...bending way too much in the latter moments. Starting to make some of the dumb midfield giveaways of 2015.
Still....damn.
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 02:25 (seven years ago) link
Bedoya was huge that half. If he'd scored he'd be an all time hero.

Yea that sequence was great even if it didn't pay off.
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 02:37 (seven years ago) link
I would not mind watching the US lose 3-0 to Messi next week.

Say what?

The fuck did Jones do?

hit a guy in the face

Ahh saw it.
Well we are boned if we get to the semis without wood
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 02:53 (seven years ago) link
And lots of other yellow cards on the field- four at least, sounds like.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 June 2016 02:53 (seven years ago) link
So yeah.
BOOM

+4 more minutes of this

Good luck, boys! You'll need it.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 June 2016 03:30 (seven years ago) link
Wow. Nothing pretty about that half and we are still like the janitors of soccer but damn I'm still stoked.
We will get smoked by Argentina but I'll take it
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 03:37 (seven years ago) link
So this tournament is no extra time, only penalties, but maybe you already all knew this.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 June 2016 03:40 (seven years ago) link
Jones, Woods, Bedoya all out, but Yedlin comes back.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 June 2016 03:41 (seven years ago) link
yeah which is why I didn't want it to end in a draw. feels wrong to go right to penalties w/out extra time (I am ok with the whole golden goal that FIFA decided to get rid of tho)....
extra time comes back in the final right?
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 03:54 (seven years ago) link
yup - http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2016/6/16/11959940/copa-america-overtime-rules-extra-time-penalties
so this could be Colombia or Mexico/ARgentina possibly.
would be hilarious if Venezuela won
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 03:55 (seven years ago) link
The Final has extra time, but the Quarters and Semis don't.
― pratt truss it (dan m), Friday, 17 June 2016 04:11 (seven years ago) link
Apparently there is a red card appeal process but I doubt it'll work out if tried.
Venezuela has been the surprise of the tournament, imo: just missed beating Mexico to win the group, conceded 1 goal in the first round (but only scored 3).
― pratt truss it (dan m), Friday, 17 June 2016 04:12 (seven years ago) link
with that new rule it's pointless for Jermaine.
even w/ nobody suspended the US wasn't winning that one, hopefully we'll just give a good ride. gutted for them not being able to be on the field tho.
i'm amazed there wasn't a yellow for the stuffing the ball into the player's chest by Ecuador on the sideline. ref started to lose control a bit at that point
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 04:23 (seven years ago) link
Did I hear there is an explicit hand to face rule?
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 June 2016 04:37 (seven years ago) link
apparently.
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 04:38 (seven years ago) link
doesn't seem to be an explicit hand to groin or hand to any other area rule tho
lol I missed the last Chile match ....they gave up TWO to Panama?
― Neanderthal, Friday, 17 June 2016 05:23 (seven years ago) link
first one, which was the opening goal of the match, was a goalkeeping mistake by claudio bravo, who let a weak shot from distance trickle in the net.
2 hours until chile v mexico. i fear this will be the end of the tournament for my beloved andean rascals, but should be an entertaining game for sure, 3 goals or more p much guaranteed.

Are you watching this game now?
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 18 June 2016 23:52 (seven years ago) link
Second half would be looking a lot more intriguing if the guy had made the penalty.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 June 2016 00:02 (seven years ago) link
Leo just tied Batistuta for most international goals for Argentina.
― Cry for a Shadow Blaster (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 June 2016 00:29 (seven years ago) link
im not watching the game right now as both games are pay per view on my cable package and im contenting myself with some mls right now before paying for the game i really care about
― The Nickelbackean Ethics (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 19 June 2016 00:42 (seven years ago) link
thinking of this again: think both of the goals were goalkeeping mistakes (can't remember that well only watched the highlights).
hilarious how much a game in the u.s. is a home game for mexico, could hardly hear the chilean anthem.
― The Nickelbackean Ethics (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:11 (seven years ago) link
lol yay Chile. I hate El Tri so damn much
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:31 (seven years ago) link
well, mostly their fans. when I was at their match against Panama in the Gold Cup last year I saw two Mexico fans get in a fight *with each other*.
really glad they didn't call a penalty on that one stumble in the box, did not want a repeat of #noerapenal
they sell Ochoa wigs
this is hella slander, u will not besmirch chicharito, carnĂ¡l
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:36 (seven years ago) link
I'm still mad that the Chicharito to Orlando City rumors never panned out.
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:37 (seven years ago) link
this has been a good wee game so far. im tense as fuck though, and chile scoring didn't help things, if anything it heightened it.
chile were bossing it to start but mexico definitely on top at the moment and expect them to create a good chance before too long. ten minutes til half time.
― The Nickelbackean Ethics (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:43 (seven years ago) link
aww man. good call on the offside tho
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:44 (seven years ago) link
oh god, chile have goal correctly chopped off for offside after a beautiful move, gawd if vargas had just held his run a second more
― The Nickelbackean Ethics (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:44 (seven years ago) link
so far FX's coverage better than Fox Sports 1, where they literally spend 3 minutes showing replays or the faces of coaches while the game goes on down the field
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:46 (seven years ago) link
vidal got a yellow card and will be suspended for the semi if chile qualify. that seems like a kiss of death to their chances in the tournament even if we assume they'll win tonight. such a key player
― The Nickelbackean Ethics (jim in glasgow), Sunday, 19 June 2016 02:48 (seven years ago) link
the pace of this match is great

shoulda passed there d00d
HOLY SHIT
that was pretty
