Went to all six games in Melbourne throughout the tournament.
*Nigeria 0-0 Canada was thrilling, really fast football from both sides and some great play - Nigeria were the moral victors. *Germany 6-0 Morocco wasn't something I'd want to see again, the Germans looked clinical but I guess that was a red herring. *Australia 4-0 Canada was so much fun once we got a couple on the board, loved the fan experience. Mary Fowler is going to be one of the best out there by the next World Cup. *Jamaica 0-0 Brazil was a hugely shocking result, it was incredible hearing the Brazilian crowd instantly go silent. *Sweden 0-0 USA was one of the greatest goalkeeping performances I'll ever see, and an absolutely mental penalty shootout - always fun to curse out the seppos. *Colombia 1-0 Jamaica was alright, I was sat behind a mascot for the Colombian team so I didn't see too much... |

triste pendejo, that's a red card |
Sam Kerr - possibly the greatest women's footballer on the planet - is going to court for a day where she scored a hat trick, got drunk, munted in a taxi, started fighting about the fine, and called the cop booking her a "stupid white bastard".
Fucking legend, makes you proud to be Australian. |
it looks to me like spain is shaping up to be the champion this year

Spain will win the Copa América? :confused:;):D |

for copa américa (playing later) i liked uruguay yesterday. their bielsa scheme is super fun to watch. although it shows some defensive weakness, an unusual thing for uruguay which traditionally defends first, then scores. but overall they're my favorite team so far, in terms of how they've played - italy saved their own asses literally at the last minute vs croatia |
Quote:
The Uruguay v Panama game was pretty entertaining to watch, yeah! The result was a foregone conclusion after they'd scored but it was some effective attacking. Going to the pub tomorrow to watch Chile v Argentina, and also to get drunk before midday. |

If we don't get our shit together that could be very ugly... |

i had to miss colombia paraguay today due to work, but caught some of brazil costa rica, which was also cero a cero. i was originally hoping for a great brazil performance, but who reared his ugly mug by suprise? none other than neymar, who is out injured. i hate that guy hahahahahaha! hate him. he alone ruins brazil for me, and his tears are my joy. so i was glad they couldn't score, hahahahhaah anyway, have fun tomorrow being a proper australian! Quote:
perú defended well but their attack suuuuuuuuucked. argentina has good defense, good attack, and i'm not going to say messi, i'm gonna say ... too many stars to mention hahahha, too many... from the first round of games alone, i think it's shaping to be argentina #1 canada #2 in that group.,, |

I'll be at an "old-fashioned British pub" for that, so we know where the fan sentiment should be :p Quote:
I've seen more entertaining games, although it was neat that the ref seemed happy to let a lot slide. Sanchez's miss was real unfortunate, I don't think either would be happy with 0-0. Anyway here's to entertainment and a hopeful surprise, and if not I can offer a shoulder to cry on for some select friends of mine ;) |
Holy fuck me BLAME CANADA! This means the last game (vs Chile) is gonna be do or DIE, EH!
|
i don't know how argentina did not score 6 yesterday. probably miracles. gareca's response in the second half was a good one, but no team in this group can contend with argentina's overabundance of talent
perú did great with 3-5-2 bilardismo until it didn't: araujo's atrocious foul and red card doomed their schemes. canada was barely okay, much less impressive than they appeared against argentina (even though against argentina they lost) chile vs canada is gonna be a duel to the death yeah. for the other one messi will probably rest a bit |
Quote:
Probably Bravo. |

venezuela vs mexico 2nd half last night was a lot of bad quality fast action, superchaos, hilarious. but hey at least they tried unlike the dull euros missed the euros today not sure if there were games actually... the fox app is a bit of a disaster missed also ecuador jamaica but highlights show a vastly improved ecuador over what it used to be way back when. ecuador vs mexico should be intense |
Quote:
-- and tomorrow's mexico ecuador is gonna be also for survival not sure if valencia will be back from red card, but either way, barring major fuckups i would expect ecuador to win |
What a fucking week.
|
Eighth finals of the EC started yesterday, and Italy is kicked out by the Swiss !!!
and it was well deserved, the Swiss were so much better |
