2024 COPA America Thread
 

Beautiful opening message! I can't believe they opened with a prayer. Love it.

Go USA!

Argentina should beat Canada. I hope they do.

I have no idea what this is

Barry Manilow COPAcabana farewell tour.

They throw cups of pee at those games.

Argentina spent a lot of money on the refs for this one based on that non-penalty call.

I, too, was duped into thinking this was a Barry Manilow thread.

Every time I looked Messi was streaking down the field and missing his shot. Canada should have gotten smoked way worse.

What?

No English commentary for this Chile/Peru?

chile and peru have both fallen off hard over the past few years.

English on fox sports1

Hopefully this tournament can be Gregg Berhalter's death knell.

I must have completely glossed over that...... oh well, didn't miss much anyway. 180 minutes of scoreless soccer is boring.

Council Of Penis Augmentation.

They should dispatch Bolivia without much concern.

Key word being "should"

2:32 in and a 1-0, lead!!

PA boy!

That was a really nice touch off the short corner.

Goal!!!!!!!! N

Cross coming up.

Jerry Jones will try to sign Pulisic to play QB.

Lot of heavy touches out of the back. Settle a little, boys.

Seeing guys falling down while nowhere even close to getting hit on the head, then reacts like he got hit in the head, spazzing all over the place, while faking a head injury.

That shit gets old. Would love for the soccer federation in general to put an end to that garbage.

Another corner

That was a pretty bad tackle. Good to see them stand up for Reyna

Yeah, he got yellowed. That was not a clean tackle.

That was going to be a run on goal. Another yellow

Ty Adam’s is not taking any shit today

Balogon.. the fug you doing?

He's dead, Jim.

Another @ 43!,

There ya go. Nice hesitation and kick.

If Balogun has figured it out, this USA attack could be more dangerous.

And another !

He’s off.. shoot.

Offsides is lame.

Good touches and great chances created in the last 4 minutes.,

Really good minutes from Gio Reyna today. Build on that.

Game could easily be 4-0/5-0.

Oh damn… another two great chances.

Pulisic walking gingerly.

Ricardo Pepi is fun to watch.

I feel like this should be a lot bigger blow out

Robinson has really had a lot of great runs from the back.

Pepi has had 4 chances in 10 minutes.

Good early goal. 3 points. To the ATL on Thursday.

Anyone going to the game in KC?

it should have been, but i don't think we pushed it at 100% either. the result was never in jeopardy. bolivia has got to be the worst team in this tournament. there's literally nothing positive you can say about them. all they can do is pull your jersey once you dribble past them.

Their keeper played a decent game :hmmm:

The US team isn't very good. It's like watching Burnley play.

He did.

Did someone just faint because of the heat?

Between the heat and the crowd I’m guessing FIFA is currently second guessing themselves for picking KC for 26.

It's hot as shit outside. I need to mow so bad.

Canada far better than these South American nations. No clue why they played that game during the day in KC though

Because no one cares about Canadian soccer.

I think it likely has more to do with Fox wanting Messi in prime time tonight

LMAO The Peruvians doubled them up on shots and played down a man the last 30 minutes. Canada is likely already packing their bags for home without that red card. Chile will probably knock Canada out of the tournament Saturday.

Which red card? The one they actually called or the other one on the headbutt they didn’t? Peru should have been down two for most of that game.

They’ll surely get a result against a washed Chile team next as well to advance. Like Peru, they’re another team well below Canada in ELO.

An utter disgrace

It probably won't be cooler outside in July in 2026.

I was at the game and saw the whole thing. I assume it was discussed on TV but it was an offsides ref (not sure the actual title). He was just standing there and suddenly tipped over like a fallen tree. Within a few seconds you could see his arms moving and a few minutes later he was walking. But they made him hop on the stretcher and rolled him out. Certainly could have gotten concussed. He was on the side that was exposed to sun basically the whole first half.

That's scary. This heat is no joke right now. I was putting away dishes and came back to them wheeling some poor bastard out on a stretcher.

Hope he is okay.

It was easily 80/20 in favor of Peru. Canada fans definitely didn’t show up. Announced attendance was just under 12k but I’m sure it looked way worst on TV since basically 2 out of 4 sides were in the sun and most people didn’t stay in those seats for long.

All the Vegas sky shots are triggering me.

Mexico has to get a win on Sunday vs Ecuador or they are getting grouped out by Ecuador and Venezuela. Venezuela was the lowest ranked squad in the group and they already basically won the group. Pretty impressive showing.

Let's do this guys, kick some Panamanian ass!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

EDIT: NOPE, offside!!

VAR is wack.

Yeah, but they got it right...

This shit is so gay. VAR is worse than NFL officiating.

I hate offsides too lol

Someone deport this ref

Well this official hates us.. LMAO

Selfish action by Weah. That's always getting a red card.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

When we're 10 v 11 too!!! LMAO

Shit!

How many yellow card infractions does Panama have to commit before they actually get one?

YAY a yellow card...

This official is trying to one-up that official in the EURO 2024 game who lost control.

And funny how they didn't VAR the thrown shoulder the Panamanian asshole threw and wasn't looking for the ball. Nothing..
