Made a bit of a difference, very positive and some nice touches. But ended 0-0, 2 points dropped for CHI considering how the game went

Uruguay look a bit nervy against Panama.. 1-0 up but have missed loads of chances and now PAN look quite dangerous.
EDIT: bit of a late flurry of goals, ended 3-1
USA cruised to a 2-0 win against Bolivia earlier

COL 2 up against PAR. James Rodriguez (remember him?) still bringing the assists for COL. The Newcastle lad Almiron is playing for PAR in a natty stripy shirt 😉
Brazil kick off against Costa Rica later

Some decent Canadian players, gave Argies a decent game although were never going to get anything from it. No shame in that
Play Darkest Peru next

Peru player should have been sent off for a headbutt, and he didn’t even get a yellow after VAR review.
And then the assistant referee had to be carted off the field after passing out.
The officiating is always a rollercoaster in CONCACAF and CONMEBOL!

The officiating is always a rollercoaster in CONCACAF and CONMEBOL! Thought maybe the "headbutt" was merely a brushing together which the Canadian made a meal of, possibly VAR thought the same. VAR got the red card decision right for the Peru leg breaker tackle after the ref gave a yellow. Canada deserved the win even against ten men, Peru have been very cynical with niggly fouls in both their games so far. Chile almost held out for the draw v Argentina, gave it a go going forward at times too, they will need to beat Canada in their final group game now though to progress. In general the tournament has been ok so far without really having any exciting games yet, unlike the current Euro's.

Jesse Marsch is a decent coach
Thought a rough deal at Leeds
Great win

Jesse Marsch is a decent coach Thought a rough deal at Leeds Great win Yes, I think he's good, but from what I saw of this one, I don't think they would have won it without the sending off.

Yes barring something remarkable from Peru against Arge it should be a straight shootout between CHI and CAN on Saturday night. I can see that being quite a ding-dong, Canada have looked pretty decent from what I've seen.

Chile had two great chances but hit both straight at the keeper. Then they subbed when defending a corner, which is a bad idea even if you are trying to bring someone on for height. Really unlucky for them, but I’d still bet on them advancing in a head to head against Canada.

USA down to 10 men against Panama, 1-1 at HT. Watching all these Copa America games I’m convinced Pulis would’ve been perfect NT coach for so many countries in CONCACAF and CONMEBOL.

A bit like England did at the Tournoi Funny how they don’t have a lot of world class players, but they are deep, experienced, and everyone has a clear role.

Uruguay looking dangerous too, although haven't played anyone of note yet I felt like they struggled against Panama until they got the late goal, but they completely throttled Bolivia. Bielsa is one of the all-time greats though, and I’d never bet against a side he is coaching.

Colombia is hands down the best team in the Americas right now. They’re just good at everything. They are certainly on a good run of form and look like a well organised team playing some great football but to be called the best they need to win this trophy. They're in the tougher half of the draw which has been heavily weighted in Argentina's favour. Argentina look to have an easier route to the final where Colombia, Brazil and Uruguay have each other to contend with, should be interesting.

QF matchups starting tonight:
Thurs 4/7 ARG vs ECU
Fri 5/7 VEN vs CAN
Sat 6/7 COL vs PAN URU vs BRA
Very lopsided tournament structure, they might as well have given Argentina a bye to the final - Ecuador then one of Venezuela or Canada. But on the other side Brazil, URU and Colombia are all together.
I'm going for an Arge-Uruguay final.. huge rivals and whoever wins will edge ahead in the number of titles won

Ive watched bits here and there, Uruguay and Colombia both look strong, Brazil haven’t had that flair for years but ultimately I’d fancy the Argies
