Copa America Centenario

Ahh saw it.

Well we are boned if we get to the semis without wood

And lots of other yellow cards on the field- four at least, sounds like.

So yeah.

BOOM

america is a good country

.

+4 more minutes of this

to endure

Good luck, boys! You'll need it.

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

So this tournament is no extra time, only penalties, but maybe you already all knew this.

Jones, Woods, Bedoya all out, but Yedlin comes back.

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?

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

The Final has extra time, but the Quarters and Semis don't.

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).

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

Did I hear there is an explicit hand to face rule?

apparently.

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?

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?

Second half would be looking a lot more intriguing if the guy had made the penalty.

Leo just tied Batistuta for most international goals for Argentina.

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

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.

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.

lol yay Chile. I hate El Tri so damn much

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, carnál

I'm still mad that the Chicharito to Orlando City rumors never panned out.

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.

aww man. good call on the offside tho

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

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

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 pace of this match is great

shoulda passed there d00d

HOLY SHIT

that was pretty

oh my god 2-0 chile this is amazing, they are really cutting mexico apart when they get in dangerous positions, so many runs that the mexicans can't keep up with to track

playing a lot of nice balls in. Ochoa had no damn chance

so what's the leading predicted reason Messi and Arg are not gonna win this yet again this year

Some sort of curse? Actually just came to post that friend from Argentina is being cagey about their chances on Tuesday against USA.

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

same announcers/etc, not sure about production teams. tonight's coverage has been closer to how European matches are shown where you only show replays during down moments. the other night w/ USA and Ecuador they kept diverting away from the action for long periods of time, then the camera would swing back and you'd see a team outside the box lining up a cross. I was waiting for them to outright miss a goal.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

man see this is why I hate El Tri fans. throwing shit on the field now

they did that at the Gold Cup match I was at too. thta's actually what started the fight between the two fans.
