CopaAmerica!!!

[Stanley Edwards]

OK. From what I can decipher the decision is all between ref, captains and managers.

*waits patiently for 5 minutes*

Uruguay are going to get trounced whatever. Why delay?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Okay. So, Brasil won 7 - 6 (including penalties)

I think. Although TBH I don't remember how it ended.



Mexico V Argentina tonight. Both have solid defenses and quality midfields. I'm still thinking moments of utter individual skill will supply goals from nowhere. I suspect a 3 - 2 Mexico win.

Anyone staying up to watch?

It's so hot here by day ATM I don't start to wake until about midnight.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Fucking hell. Just realised I edited instead of replying to my own post.

Anyone up for Mexico V Argentina?

30 minutes (ish) and counting.

I'll stick to my 3 -2 to Mexico prediction. The nutter egotist with the hair will surely score tonight.

 

[Concrete Meadow]

The temp is about the same over there

Very nervous about this one because if there's a team who can undo us, it is Mexico.

Arg just confirmed the starting line up: Pato, Ayala, Gaby Milito, Zanetti, Heinze, Mascherano, Veron, Cambiasso, Riquelme, Messi and Tevez.

How the fuck they manage to play football. 2.20 here and I'm just sitting doing nothing other than typing and supping ice cold cheap beers and I'm sweating. No way I can sleep until the cold air comes.

Go Mexico!

HT 1-0 Argentina (Heinze).
I'm on over 2.5 goals and a lay of Mexico, so I guess at least one bet will come in here. Two more for Argentina would be nice.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Goaly was completely lost on that free kick. Where was he going

Mexico showing plenty of potential. Now they have to give it all. Good second half coming up. I'm staying up to watch

 

[Concrete Meadow]

Yeah Argentina!

Heinze 1 - O

meSSIAH 2 - 0

Roman 3 - 0

ARG-BRA Sunday at the Final!

Where are you Stanley? no problems with the heat in Manchester.

It looks like we have the final eveyone wanted. I was checking which night I would have to stay up till the early hours but I think its on on Sunday at 10pm.

Can't see anyone troubling the Argies, not even Brasil. 3-0 againts Mehico is a great result.

2-1 Argies is my prediction.

 

[Orangesanlemons]

A pleasing result.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

That second goal was excellent. Argentina seem to be unbeatable.

Final Sunday at 22:05 BST. Nice social hours for a change.

 

[Concrete Meadow]

5pm local time, very civilized although a tad early for SA night owls.

Argentina are playing some beautiful football at the moment. But I still worry. Brasil aim to lure you into a draw and PK's are not what Argies wanted. Anyway they have a couple of days to soak in the swimming pool to figure out how to beat Brasil.

For the rest of us, a couple of nights to recharge our batteries.

Dodgy red card tonight ruined the match a tad. That Mexican bloke who scored their cracking 3rd goal has the worst footballer hair I've seen since Argentina's 2002 world cup side.

You have to be brave, stupid or, desperate to get noticed

It's been done before without bleach.

Argh

Tengo un problemo. I was planning to watch the final on the net tonight, but it only appears to be available as SopCast which doesn't appear to work on my PC.

How do I make it work? Or, is there anywhere else on the net I can watch? Or, am I just making excuses to go out late night drinking again to watch it in a bar?


e2a; Sorted. Night in with wine and spliff it is then. Really looking forward to this.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Wooooaaahhh!!!

What a fucking start

 

[Maltin]

Good start for Brazil.

 

[rekil]

3 - 1 to argentina i reckon. Brazil's defence is just too shit to hold a lead.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

I'm thinking more like 5-1 to Brasil. One more goal for Brasil before Argentina score and this will turn into a totally open goal fest. It's already pretty open

 

[rekil]

ehhh, 3 - 2 ?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Who needs a defence with help like that

 

[Stanley Edwards]

I expect goals, goals, goals for the second half

Class stuff. Went a bit wobbly for a while and Argentina were unlucky to hit the post in reply to the first goal. Brasil look very, very comfortable mind. Surprising.

 

[unusual_solid]

aren't those commentators excellent.

 

[unusual_solid]

i think the argentines have slipped the ref a few quid at half time.

 

[rekil]

Ehh, 4 - 3 ? No red cards yet with all that kicking?

 

[43mhz]

Is it Brazil B Team playing? Where's Ronaldinho and Adriano?

 

[unusual_solid]

looks like they don't need them. have to say all credit to brazil comming out for the second half 2-0 up and not playing passive, every time they took the ball into the argentine half they looked to get themselves an opportunity :thumb: the argentine defense look a bit flat, have they had a hard comp or are the brazilians just too good? look a bit clueless up front to trying to float balls into the box and brazil have dealt with every aerial threat. looks like they just didn't want to win but give them a beating.
good game.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Has to be said Argentina were very disappointing. Brasil however, were worth more than a 3-0 win.

Excellent tournament.

 

[leftistangel]

Argentina are becoming like the All Blacks of football - playing the best football in big tournaments without winning them.
