I think U.S.A would do good, but they are taking a young and inexperienced squad to the tourney. It might be a surprise but I think they would do a really good job if they have the team that won the Gold Cup right now.

I believe you, but I've got more important things to concern myself with over the summer.

Peru just schooled Uruguay. 3-0, and they had a goal taken away from them because of an offisde that didn't exist.

Yeah, I was watching the first half, seen that "offside" shit. Didn't matter in the end though.
-
Mexico
You know they've been playing like shit lately right?
-
Sorry to be oh - so - predictable but im gona go for Brazil. BUt in all honesty i kinda lost track of SA football a couple of years ago so im not really sure of the calibre of teams.

phone up and say you want to be reconnected but explain you cant afford full price because of other bills and they will give you a discount. My mate does it all the time, he cancels and then waits for them to call him or he calls them and gives them the sob story.

Ecuador vs Chile looks like it will be a good game. I don't know about the Brazil-Mexico game though lol

Mexico is winning tonight.
-
I understand supporting your team, but being a rah rah? Not only does their coach sucks, but they have a few key players missing.
-
If the fans don't believe in the team, who will?
-
I believed in LaVolpe's team. We were getting so much fucking props from football analysts throughout the world after what we showed in Confederations Cup and the World Cup. Instead of continuing that process, we're back as neanderthals.
-
Nery Castillio is doing everything
-
Goin for Argentina..they got my boy Lucho Gonzalez playin?
-
Mexico is kicking ass....
-
Great defense and goalkeeping from Mexico in the second half.
-
Damn, 2-0. Brazil underestimated Mexico.
Mexico is kicking ass....
I didn't know you watched soccer. What team are you rooting for?

Chile are my outside bet for the tournament, they looked dodgy defensively last night but came through in the end.
Argentina-USA is the big game tonight. Having recalled Riquelme and Veron to the squad, it will be interesting to see if either of them go straight into the starting lineup for Argentina.

You know what was funny about the Chile game, they started out in a 4-4-2 formation. Apparently it was the first time they have done so under their new coach, because usually they play 3-5-2. After they were down 2-1, Chile changed back to the formation they've been working on and boom finally they took control of the ball and took the lead.
-
U.S. scores a goal and Argentina, response hella quick with a goal of their own.
-
WOW...Argentina is just embarrassing U.S. now.

WOW...Argentina is just embarrassing U.S. now.
lol real talk..4-1 ;D

Argentina really gave the USA a football lesson last night. I also can't believe how bad Colombia were defensively, truly shocking.
-
santa cruz is a bitch. he plays like shit for bayern throughout all the years he ain't become a better player since he was when he joined the team as a teenager... and in copa america he has those great games on a regular ::)
-
usa got ass-raped.. and argentina wasnt even playing well..
-

He hasn't done much with the national team. Sure he shined in yesterday's game, but keep in mind that they were counter-attacks with him vs the goalkeeper alone and the goalie messed up on two of them.
-
Brazil!
-
Thanks for the videos!
-
We got Brazil Vs Chlie and then Mexico Vs Ecuador, should be some good stuff.

Brasil 3 - 0 Chile

Riquelme on great form for the Argies yesterday, they are looking pretty unstoppable, just need to sort out the defence a bit.

He's pretty much rooting for Uruguay. Oh and the video doesn't show all the penalties.
-
The last penalty shot should have been redone. It's bullshit. The goalkeeper is not allowed to move forward whatsoever and the Brazilian goalkeeper looked like he took a couple steps forward. I don't know, I could be wrong though.
-
mexico will probably get raped

Brazil are champs 8)

This game showed why Hugo Sanchez is a whack ass coach. Under the previous coach, Argentina managed to score 3 goals in 330 minutes vs Mexico. In just 90 minutes, thanks to the defensive scheme of Hugo Sanchez Argentina was able to score the same amount.

argentina >>> this version of brazil

My heart is still broken.

It was sad watching them lose but it was pretty fucking funny watching my cousin cry his tears out. "Pinche Oswaldo! Pinche Argetines!" -Priceless.

La Volpe is gone and he's not coming back. Time to move on.

So what? I can't analyze or what? This is why Mexico doesn't advance in soccer, they have the mindset that all you need to do to succeed is play with heart and balls. It's no coincidence that Scolari's teams are always either in or very near the Final in every major tournament. It's not coincidence that Lippi took Italy all the way to the Cup. Talent alone doesn't win you shit either, look at last year's Brazil. And by the way, LaVolpe CAN come back. Especially if Marquez speaks up, the majority of the players that are on the team were actually brought under LaVolpe. The players can get what they want, especially if they keep on getting disrespected by Hugo Sanchez. Just yesterday he bitched about how the fact that they lost to ARgentina because they only have two players playing in Europe. What a fucking moron...how many players does Ecuador, Paraguay have in Europe? More than two, yet we managed to beat them. What a fucking lame ass excuse, this mother fucker thinks the fans are morons.
-
Argentina simply deserves to win both the Copa America and the U-20 World Championship.
-
I don't know about the U-20, a lot of teams are playing good. Spain, U.S, Nigeria, Zambia, Mexico, and Chile.

I never said you couldn't analyze, you just sound really bitter. Saying how bad Hugo is isn't goin to change anything.
-
Of course I'm bitter. Mexico has the most talented pool of players in their history of soccer today, yet we're stuck with Hugo. We finally reach a great talent level with the players but are now just stuck with this guy. I don't see how you can't be bitter.

I am bitter.Mexico was making strides and getting props from people. I just try to stay positive. Positive things happen to positive thinkers.
-
Also it's not like we played horrible in the tournament. Mexico was doing good up to last night. Last night was the first game we lost the whole tourney.
-
Luck and Nery Castillo is what was helping this team. There was very little teamwork in the entire tournament, a team can't depend on a single player.

That's just corny man. You think if Phil Jackson would use little strategy and say "let's just be positive" he would have survived in the NBA? No fucking way.

thats what a lot of english coaches think as well, stuart pearce is an example of that.
messi's goal was amazing, looking forward to the final

El Kun just scored twice.
Argentina in the Quarters. 8)
-
looking forward to the final
as am i. i hope Brasil win, would show up Argentina for sure, losing to a Brasilian team with an average age of around 22.
that being said the Argie bastards will probably beat em...
-
Argentina deserve to win as they have played the best football throughout. Apart from the quarter final against Chile, Brazil have been defensive and boring; I hope Dunga gets sacked after the tournament because this isn't the way Brazil should be playing.

Last time I checked, I wasn't the coach of Mexico.

Exactly so you having positive thinking will have absolutely zero effect on how Mexico does.
-

It goes both ways, brotha.
-
Your positivity to my analysis of the coach and games can not be compared.
-
So what you're saying is that you analysis will effect how Mexico does?
-
No but for some people that are actually interested in reading that kind of stuff they will read it. Who wants to read what a cheerleader thinks?
-
Cheerleader huh? If supporting and believing in you team makes you a cheerleader then so be it. It's better than fuckin' crying every chance you get.
-
The thing is that I'm actually stating reasons why I'm not feeling it.
Have you ever seen this from me...
"Oh man Mexico lost to Argentina :( , it's the same story every year!"

i didnt get to watch it, bit pissed off about that... but Brazil beat Argentina 3-0

Argentina just won the World Cup.
-
shame on argentina, they play amazing all tourniment but it comes to the final and they cant create anything, all credit to brazil though and baptista's goal :o
-
And Mexico sends up in third place. Beat Uruguay 3-1.
-
I missed the 2nd half of the Final..last I saw Brazil was up 2-0 at the 40th minute..
At first I was thinkin Argentina was gonna dominate but had a change of heart 2 days ago..
Im new to the sport, I barely started watchin this year, first game besides the World Cup games was the copa de oro final Mexico VS U.S. Dope ass sport, I enjoy watchin this more than american football..

props lol
dunga got his tactics spot on, he basically got as many players behind the ball and stopped argentina playing through them. Argentina had no width coz they were basically playing with four centre midfielders, so the moves kept breaking down and brazil got them on the break. If Riqueleme's shot had gone in and not hit the post it might have been different though.
-
The key was Brazil scoring first. Once they did that you knew they were just going to get numbers behind the ball and pretty much kill the spectacle.
It was disappointing to see, after such an open tournament with goals galore, especially from the Brazilians. It might win football matches, but as a spectator its not what you want to see at all.

No doubt.
Oh well, i called it right. lol Anyone else pick Brazil? You think Dunga will still be so defensive minded when hes got Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka etc at his disposal? And props 2 Mexico!

I told y'all Brazil was gonna win 8)
