Didn't see a thread so......

 

Enjoyable so far, USA lost their first game then won comfortably, should make round 2

 

Mexico look good

 

Brazil humps Haiti 7-1

 

Uruguay are out already. Big strop from Suarez, listed as injured and not an eligible sub went slightly tonto after a full warm up, pads on etc.......

 

Tournament surprise so far, Venezuela have made round 2 with a game to spare

 

 

Oh, and yon boy Hector for Jamaica looks good........

Can't say it's had much coverage over here if I'm honest. Read a bit about it on the bbc, namely the Venezuela games as theyve scored their first ever copa America goal? How's it being received over in the US?

Been watching some of the games on Premier Sport. Been decent so far.

Better than usual for "saccar" but still can't sell out their own games

US win their group after Columbia surprisingly (well it surprised me and increased the bookies profits) beaten 3-2 by already eliminated Costa Rica.

A bit late but what about Suarez thinking he could come on as a sub and then finding out he had been listed as out injured on the team sheet, Punches the dug out and throws his boots on the pitch 

Yeah, that was hilarious

USA through to the semi finals after 2-1 win against Ecuador. Both sides finished with 10 men and coach of Ecuador sent to stands.

Columbia through after beating Peru on penalties.

Chile through after beating Mexico 7 (yes seven) -0

Argentina make it through to semi finals beating Venezuela 4-1. Messi equals scoring record for Argentina.

First semi final USA 0 - 4 Argentina, in no way a flattering scoreline, Argentina wee just so much better

US were played off the field. Any news on the injury to Lavezzi. Looked like he broke his arm when he went over the advertising boards.

Chile through to the final against Argentina following a 2-0 win over Columbia.

With a two hour weather delay at half time. Stormy here last night

Should be a good final

Fractured Arm

Did you hear the media conference? Someone asked Jurgen how long it would be before the USA were on the same level as Argentina

He did claim before the match that it was a 50/50 game.......

 

They'll be on the same level as Argentina if the South Americans suddenly stop picking world class players!

The number of kids playing football now in America combined with the way Americans really get sports and know how to develop youth suggest to me that it's only a matter of time before the states starts producing world class players.

 

USA beaten 1-0 by Columbia in 3rd place play off.

 

Final is at 1am tonight on premier sport.

Final was pish. Both teams were more interested in kicking lumps out of each other rather than playing football. Both sides reduced to 10 men inside 40 minutes. Chile won on penalties after 0-0 draw over 120 minutes. Messi missed one of Argentina's penalties and announced his retirement from international football after the game.

Was surprised he announced his retirement. He's not that old is he!?!

29?

 

Maybe a heat of the moment comment and if I've read it correctly he doesn't say "never"
