Oh right

why wasnt this called "USA Wont Win It: Copa America 2016" in time honoured ILX fashion?

I think it just might be time for a third thread.
― Big Chick, Plain Cat (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 19 May 2016 00:54 (nine years ago)
haha.
yeah the last thread didn't really set the world on fire and a lot of people don't read ilf
otoh i don't think the attention this tournament will draw will be that substantial what with it being sort of not a real Copa America - not all teams will be full-strength iirc - and with the euros on this summer as well.
Wish I wasn't going to Scotland for a wedding this summer or I totally would have made it to a Chile game :/
Favourites to win for me: Argentina, Mexico (who are close to being the home team really #trump2016).

dont think there's any point starting a new thread:
weird that this is going ahead in brasil which is still in covid sicko mode. behind closed doors really sucks.
anyway. brasil look sharp, probably the favourites. argentina are beating chile 1-0 at half-time, but one of the more convincing 1-0 leads. definitely the end of the road for the remnants of chile's históricos

Yeah been watching as well (why not) — Leo’s still got it.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 June 2021 22:15 (four years ago)
But Chile took a little advantage there!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 June 2021 22:17 (four years ago)
dammit forgot about this
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:18 (four years ago)
chile started much brighter this half and now chile score with the rebound from a saved penalty
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:18 (four years ago)
Rooting for Chile hardcore
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:20 (four years ago)
Beautiful build, needed a better header
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:22 (four years ago)
we've only beaten argentina on penalties in the copa america - in the last 2 finals - in like 100 matches haha, but dare to dream
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:22 (four years ago)
Will never forget the 2016 final, officiated by psycho Heber Lopes

Dafuq was DePaul thinking there
Ben Brereton on for Chile!
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:39 (four years ago)
Gonzalez just whiffing there
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:40 (four years ago)
yeah that was a hell of a miss.
nice to see brereton getting his debut. wonder how long it will take him to understand anything his teammates say haha
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:41 (four years ago)
Holy shit this one.
After watching mostly MLS and CONCACAF bullshit lately this is a nice change of pace
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:52 (four years ago)
was a decent game, argentina should've won it, having missed a couple clear-cut chances.
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 June 2021 22:59 (four years ago)
yeah, Chile are fortunate but played pretty well.
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Monday, 14 June 2021 23:00 (four years ago)
Pretty good run in the half there. Chile just made it work enough
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 June 2021 23:01 (four years ago)
And we’re back. Pretty much Colombia’s match here, surprised they haven’t scored yet.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:29 (four years ago)
Yeah, bit of an even tie here. Venezuela not the strongest team at the best of times and I believe they're missing people due to Covid
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 17 June 2021 21:38 (four years ago)
Uneven
Tempers flying, I think it’s mostly just frustration at this potential draw.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:38 (four years ago)
It was a little out of left-field, hasn't seemed a particularly bad tempered or rough match.
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:48 (four years ago)
Yeah just a really weird last ten minutes here. A goal immediately called offside sounds about right for how this might still end.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:51 (four years ago)
And there’s the inevitable red card, if only because it felt like something would happen. But sheesh at all the contorting.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 June 2021 22:55 (four years ago)
Was kinda hoping Peru could hold at 1-0 here but, well, Neymar.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 June 2021 01:28 (four years ago)
(Should make that 0-1.)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 June 2021 01:29 (four years ago)
Well anyway. I shouldn’t have expected otherwise!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 June 2021 01:53 (four years ago)
And it’s a new day. Not sure what to expect out of this first match.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 June 2021 21:05 (four years ago)
Brereton scores!
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Friday, 18 June 2021 21:13 (four years ago)
Great goal for sure. Chile clearly driving this.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 June 2021 21:34 (four years ago)
Unsurprisingly this Argentina/Uruguay match has started off pretty quickly.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 19 June 2021 00:09 (four years ago)
Well, sore neck there for Suarez, who knew.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 19 June 2021 01:26 (four years ago)
Only half watching the current match but that was a great Venezuela goal just now.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 20 June 2021 22:13 (four years ago)
And that was a kinda ridiculous/great Ecuador goal!
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 20 June 2021 22:33 (four years ago)
And Venezuela makes it a draw in extra time. Not a bad match really! Wasn’t expecting it.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 20 June 2021 22:55 (four years ago)
Peru-Colombia has also been entertaining, currently at 2-1
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 June 2021 01:32 (four years ago)
Okay over to this, Chile/Uruguay to start today off…
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 June 2021 21:07 (four years ago)
i think this will be a good indication of Chile's chances in the tournament. They looked poor against Bolivia, Uruguay a bit of a sterner challenge.
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 June 2021 21:21 (four years ago)
Chile with the first goal!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 June 2021 21:27 (four years ago)
tbh was a bit surprised that Suarez is still part of the team
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 21 June 2021 21:42 (four years ago)
Anyway seems like Vargas now has scored 14 goals in the Copa, putting him ahead of Batistuta, for one.
― Rich Valley Girl, Poor Valley Girl (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 21 June 2021 21:45 (four years ago)
Coming out of the match, though. Something with his leg.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 June 2021 22:17 (four years ago)
Well Suarez still doing it!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 June 2021 22:27 (four years ago)
Time for my Chile to get absolutely destroyed by Brasil
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:00 (four years ago)
Ahem

Have to catch up on highlights here

Did I just see Scolari?
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 4 July 2021 01:57 (four years ago)
No sorry, but Alfaro looks somewhat like him from some angles. Anyway that game was great, looking forward to Colombia-Argentina.

― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 5 July 2021 17:17 (four years ago)
i ended up unable to catch the second half of the match but getting beat 1-0, despite them being down to 10 men for half of the game, and missing some good chances (although brazil also had chances) sounds almost as bad as getting thrashed by multiple goals.
― 《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 5 July 2021 17:24 (four years ago)
Yes, feeling that.

I don’t want to say this match is already over but…
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 01:13 (four years ago)
Whew that was ugly.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 01:27 (four years ago)
Suddenly we have a match!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 02:24 (four years ago)
That goaltending.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 02:28 (four years ago)
They can't miss that.

I know it’s a distraction, but I keep wondering where Kun Agüero is.
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 11 July 2021 00:42 (four years ago)
Ouf that Messi moment, I hope it doesn't haunt him.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:46 (four years ago)
It’s like that one goal took all the excitement from the rest of the match
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:47 (four years ago)
Happy for Messi!
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:53 (four years ago)
Argentina!

🇦🇷
A win indeed!
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:54 (four years ago)
FYI: James Redd has a love/hate relationship with Argentina, tonight it is love, I guess.
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 11 July 2021 01:58 (four years ago)
Not quite another Maracanazo, but it’ll do.

Copa Oro now?
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 11 July 2021 02:28 (four years ago)
Needed a break and some sleep, so didn’t watch. Somebody told me Kun had had an injury and surgery or something this past year.

The United States will host the 2024 Copa America tournament, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL announced Friday. Here’s what you need to know: The governing bodies announced a strategic agreement to “strengthen and develop football in both regions,” centering around 2024 national team competitions and the creation of a new club competition. As part of the deal, the men’s Copa America will include six guest CONCACAF teams in addition to all 10 CONMEBOL teams, and be jointly organized by both confederations. The 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup will also include four CONMEBOL guest teams in addition to eight CONCACAF teams. The U.S., Canada and Mexico are already set to jointly host the 2026 World Cup.

The governing bodies said they are working toward organizing a “centralized ‘final four’ style club competition featuring the best clubs from the respective confederations” to begin in 2024. The four teams will qualify through existing CONMEBOL and CONCACAF club competitions.
