Copa America Centenario

moreso than it was before the rain even

The more you near your destination

11:20 ET now. fuuuuck this

The way they keep reshowing the highlights reminds me of that one Mary Tyler Moore Show episode about the election returns during the snowstorm.

Glad I was busy earlier and didn't get home in time to ppv.

<3 this generation of Chilean players, given me so much joy, still don't dare to dream that, if they get to the final, they can repeat last year's feat.

The shit of it is I could have gone to this game

The forecast kept me away 100%

man fuck that second yellow call. this ref sucks

now an entertaining match goes 10 on 11.....i'm tuning out

Feel like they might as well be playing in a bouncy tent.

Whoa

don't understand why they don't play nagbe or pulisic in this kind of game, although I understand not having them start

first half subs would be really dumb tho

those guys better get to play in some quals soon

Pulisic coming in

guessing this one ends after extra time 1-1, goes to pens, Argentina wins 4-2 on pens

Casi, casi

Pretty brutal so far

Enjoyed Gary trying to commit seppuko using the post after almost gifting Higuain a goal

Diaz off, 2nd yellow after 28 mins

Controversial call, that

Looked alright to me

i kinda thought his first yellow coulda been even worse given the way he chopped at Messi's legs but sicne he didn't show stud guess it was just yellow.

Both were clear bookings, though the 2nd one was the kind of foul that refs sometimes feel bad about sending ppl off for

Vargas, putting your hands on the ref, even a friendly pat, probably a bad idea after Diaz just got sent off.

hi, casual fan here, has messi scored 4 goals yet?

this is gonna finish as a 8 on 7 at this rate

rather, why hasnt messi scored 4 goals yet?

At least 2 more reds to come in this one

xpost cos this game has had no flow due to injuries and fouls. also every time Messi dribbles in space people are basically mauling him.

messi str8 splashing on that dive

sick nutmeg too bad he dove

Ugh

lol yeah ref got that one right.

lol back to 10 on 10.

this has looked like an MLS match officiated by Ted Unkel.

Lol

oh that was a shitty red tho

joey crawford out here

i am kinda glad it's even again now tho even though it was hogwash.....maybe we can salvage a good half out of this

idk that one seemed a bit harsh? Minimal contact etc. Was Rojo on a yellow? Also did someone stamp on him in the aftermath?

no seemed like it was just a straight red

got ball first too

i'd be pissed if I dropped a couple hundies on this final and got this first half

Nah this is great. The pitch seems v small/crowded so a few sendings off are a) amusing and b) open up a bit of space for the 2nd half.

yeah but there was no flow at all in that half. if it sets up a fun second half finish I'll forgive it but the first Argentina - Chile match was much more fun even if it was Messi-less.

lol typical Alexi Lalas response
