Copa América 2024 (now featuring more lolCONCACAF!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Copa_...
it's south america vs north america vs central america, live from th
Sadly these games are meaningless from a qualifying perspective.
today
argentina v ecuador (houston, texas)
referee: andrés matonte (uruguay)
weather: 35°c, feels like 41°c
this is being played inside an air conditioned dome, yes? hope so
world #1 argentina won all three group games without conceding a goal, while ecuador were less impressive advancing through their goal difference, which was one better than mexico. ecuador hasn't defeated argentina since 2015, but they did battle them to a draw two years ago. so, the question is: do you believe in miracles!? YES
ecuador seems to be committed to diving and hard fouls so there is PASSION there.
not sure it will matter in the end.
xg: argentina 0.96 - 1.02 ecuador
was actually a really good half by ecuador. made one big mistake losing lisandro on the back post on that corner kick, and that tap-in was probably the bulk of the argentinian xg. come at the king you best not miss i guess
game has already been stopped for like 5 minutes in the 2nd half, ref will add on like 3 at the end no doubt
and now another lengthy stoppage for this pk...
ball don't lie...weak penalty = weak PK
obv conmebol wants Argentina advancing so there may not even be any stoppage time if they are leading after 90' 😀
lets
****ing
goooooooooo
omg
If this gets ruled out it's just pure corruption
well now probably stoppage time until Argentina scores
lolmessi
Messi more like messy amirite
Or missy
Not sure if either are funny lol
So it's just 90 minutes then PK? What happened to extra time?
i'm a messi fan, but i cant imagine the epic levels of **** the tomorrow media would be giving ronaldo if he missed his penalty and had to be carried to victory by the rest of the team.
further research shows we're affected by the mandela effect. Their has only been ET once (2011) in non-final Copa America matches.
No Mandela for me. Pretty sure I've never watched Copa before, or possibly even heard of it. Only aware of it now because Canada#1
Just figured it was normal in soccer tournament competitions for it to go to ET if tied after 90.
the match tonight is a virtual pick'em in the betting markets. I thought venezuela would be favored by a clear margin tbh.
how confident r u canadians feeling about tonight?
rarely confident about this team, but it's another winnable game to get to a semi-final, which is exciting
tajon being out injured probably means laryea starts again at rm, which means they'll likely be set up defensively, maybe looking for 0-0 to a shootout. who knows. hopefully it'll be an entertaining one where they trade chances, but canada has 1 goal, so...
today
venezuela v canada (arlington, texas)
referee: wilton sampaio (brazil)
weather: dome?
darkhorse derby where either could advance, big opportunity. winner gets to make messi cry in the semi-final. lfg
yeah the match is at jerryworld and I would hope the roof is closed (it is)
definitely a massive upgrade to playing at lolskc's stadium
oops, i thought venezuela was yellow for some reason. my bad. hope they don't take that personal...
yeah but all our mls players know lolskc's stadium, they don't know this. primetime
wow
canada look good so far
