June 20, 20196 yr Seven minutes of stoppage time. I'm beginning to think CONMEBOL is trying to rig this for Argentina.Haha ya think?
June 20, 20196 yr Argentina are just so, so, so bad. Nothing they do makes sense tactically and they are so thin on talent. Every time someone touches the ball in the final third, they are surrounded by three defenders with no outlet. It’s like they’ve never played together before.

June 20, 20196 yr Author This anecdote about Jose Gimenez's Uruguay debut and how he drove Falcao crazy is pretty great.

June 20, 20196 yr Japan took an early lead over Uruguay (25'), but Cavani was taken down in the box and Suarez converted (32'), so it is knotted up at 1. No other Copa America matches tonight, but two boring Gold Cup matches to ignore.
June 20, 20196 yr Good 1-1 game going between Japan and Uruguay. Great strike from Cavani just hit the upper corner of the frame.

June 21, 20196 yr I’ve only got to watch about 3/4s of this game, but it has been the most entertaining of the tournament. I love how scrappy Japan is. Samurai spirit doesn’t give up and doesn’t care who they are playing. I am sure they have a ton of support, largest Japanese population outside of Japan is in Brazil. Plus playing Uruguay is always going to draw support.

I looked him up and he plays in Japan, but he's 22 and could be a draw for a European club. (I didn't watch the match, so I don't know how he got his goals, but a brace is a brace. One can be luck, but two usually requires skill.)

June 21, 20196 yr You need another‘s kids.They are 4 and 2. More interest in cartoons than soccer, although the oldest plays. It’s fine when other teams are playing, but when Brasil is playing, then I get the tv. Tablet?Watching sporadically on my phone. Saw both goals.

Tobago . The USMNT has to play TWO countries at the same time. (You're not guaranteed a win when you have to do that.)
June 22, 20196 yr That was a beat down. Stoked to see Dani Alves score. He is one of my favorite players of the recent squads.
June 23, 20196 yr france/brazil (wimmens) is intriguiging, but the real comedy value of the day has to be the dog v. qatar who are somehow competent in this hemisphere, and even with a win argentina could go out if paraguay beat colombia.

If Argentina wins they're through no matter what. The top two third place teams go through and they'd have better goal differential than Peru so they'd be in the QF vs Brazil if Peru gets in or Chile/Uruguay if Japan gets in.

Argentina goes through in second place with a win over Qatar. However, if Argentina lose or tie to Qatar, they are out. If Paraguay beats Colombia, Argentina is out. It is not possible for Argentina to lead their group, so if they do get through, they will play Brazil.

If Paraguay beats Colombia and Argentina beats Qatar, Colombia finishes first (6pts), Paraguay finishes 2nd (5pts) and Argentina finishes 3rd (4pts). The 2nd place team in group plays the 2nd place team in group plays the 2nd place team in group A which is Venezuela. The 3rd place team in Group B only plays Brazil if the third place team in Group A gets in because there can't be rematches of group games in the QF. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Copa_América
June 23, 20196 yr Don't tell any Uruguayans that, they'll try to shank you.Brazilians have been dismissively indifferent to Uruguay for many years haha.
June 23, 20196 yr hopefully the debate will be moot after argentina get their 2nd in a couple of minutes
June 23, 20196 yr 45 minutes ago, Patricio Swayze said: You’re right. I forgot about group c. this was my mistake too.
June 23, 20196 yr I would not have thought the Argentines could outbid the Qataris, but I guess the check cleared.

June 23, 20196 yr dammnbit argentina get your shit together and get the 2nd fucking goal it's 1-1 over in girl-land. colombia destorying parg. come on el perro. just one more and your done.
June 23, 20196 yr So Argentina vs Venezuela and Brasil vs Paraguay (or is it Japan?)in the next round. I think.

June 23, 20196 yr Brazil vs Japan/Ecuador winner or Paraguay if Japan and Ecuador draw Hahahaha, if I omit another group again I am just going to stop. Jesus.
June 23, 20196 yr Since we're in a lull, a couple of questions yall might know: 1) Why are they moving the Copa America to even # years next year? 2) Why would Colombia agree to joint host with Argentina next year? 3) Is the Confederations Cup gone forever? Or just this one in Qatar? I'll hang up and listen.

Or just this one in Qatar? I'll hang up and listen. I am not sure why they are moving to even number years, but if you look at the history of the Copa, you will see there hasn’t been much consistency regarding frequency, odd or even years. Actually, the only real long term consistency was when it was done yearly for the first 11 years of its existence (which predates the World Cup).

Or just this one in Qatar? I'll hang up and listen. 1) they want to have the tournament the same year as the European Championships. 2) They're changing the format. Two groups of 6, still a round robin in group play, top four in each group advance and they're doing a north south geographical split north (Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Australia or Qatar) and south (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Australia or Qatar) 3) it appears as if it's done.
