Copa America Centenario

watched with a Mexican friend and he said he was really worried from the outset, said this team lacked heart and would fold if they got pushed around

...he was correct

It's on in the NPG Stadium.

Going about as well as I expected

Guzan blew it on the first one, and Wondo shouldn't even have been on the field to foul Messi.

Yea fuck Wondo. But yaaaay suspensions.

Hey tho happy to be here

"we did good guys! no shots on goal but maybe 3rd place!"

^lol

Don't tell my Colombian friends but I am rooting for Chile tonight. Hope they can do it even with "el rey Arturo" on the bench.

Ospina looks miserable.

def pulling for chile

great sequence!

Colombia could claw back

whoa crazy weather event

Wonder if I should walkabout until it restarts

they said 30min delay...about 30min ago

The delay resets every time there is a lightning strike within five miles of the stadium, I think.

Current restart time is 10:15 Eastern

It's fuckin nasty here rn

(I live in Chicago etc etc)

they always low-ball the re-start prediction to appease whiny fans. when they say estimated re-start time they mean "earliest possible re-start time". if you look at the weather map on weather.com it's like "lol good luck getting restarted before 11 pm ET".

sucks for Colombia, having to wait to make their triumphant comeback

i went to an Orlando City match last year that ended around midnight due to hours of delays. went home soaked....was fun

it's getting close to bedtime :(

supposedly they're only willing to wait another hour (even though deadline is 12 am ET). that's around the time weather.com says the weather will clear up

that would suck to finish tomorrow. who the fuck wants to drive to the stadium and pay for parking again only to see only a half of soccer?

the field is apparently filled with puddles. this is gonna benefit Chile all the way

Don't know if I can stay up

There is some serious squeegeeing going on on the pitch.

having to watch it on Fox Sports Go thanks to my piece of shit roommate occupying the TV. after 5 seconds, it buffers and goes to a black screen. bleh

Hate TV hogs.

this is gonna be slip slidey soccer

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
