Copa America Centenario

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

they shoulda held this final in Central Park

Lol

lol typical Alexi Lalas response

yup p much.

i suspect it's cos he's mad about yesterday's 3rd place match so he's glad this one has been a trainwreck so far

lol man that Gonzalo miss was hilarious

match sounds like it's reminiscent of this classic Footcelsior

god on replay that is one of the worst straight reds I've ever seen

did he maybe scream something anti-Semitic too

You're talking about Rojo?

i suspect it's cos he's mad about yesterday's 3rd place match so he's glad this one has been a trainwreck so far

it was pretty evenly matched through the end of the national anthem

usa should really have been on top at that stage no?

Serious Baldwin vibes from Pizzi

You'd think they'd stop lunging at Messi after he dived to get like 4 of them booked already

ahh this half has been much more fun.

KUN AGUERO

This refs kind of an asshole

That should have been a red

Incredible save Bravo

Managed to be busy and I haven't gotten to catch this, relying on twitter updates. Only the joint most important Chilean national team game in my 32 years of half-chilean life, no big deal :/

omfg what a save

Bravo is tremendous, Barcelona should play him every game.

Dope extra time so far
