Great drama last night, Ecuador equalised in the dying minutes (given after a lengthy VAR review) to take Arge to penalties. Messi stepped up first and panenka'd over the bar. What a plum. But Arge still won cos that maddeningly annoying goalie of theirs saved two in a row.

Go Canada Go! I actually had to check to make sure it was the same Rondon. I had no idea he was still playing - great goal!

Jesse Marsch is a really good coach, why USA allowed him to go to Canada instead of appointing him themselves is beyond me?

Copa America has been far better than the Euros from what I've seen.
Much more attacking football.

Venezuela had a good tournament and that was a cracking game v Canada, could have gone either way.

Marsch has done a good job in a short space of time with Canada, just edged a good game last night, deserved the win even though the penalties were literally hit and miss from both teams. I like the fact that pens are used after 90 minutes too in the Quarter and Semi Finals, only in the final will extra time be used before pens are needed, adds a bit more edge to the normal game time.

He really has! I've had to eat my words as I was very underwhelmed to say the least when he was appointed. I think it's so much better that way, too. I feel like extra time, for the most part, is just both teams trying not to lose.

Fascinating dynamic at the end of the 90 minutes, both squads formed a huddle, intensely discussing and organising the shootout - the difference being bielsa was right in the middle, directing everything, while Dorival the Brazil manager (in white) was completely peripheral - at one point even raising his hand to say something and seemingly being completely ignored by his players http://instagram.com/p/C9IRBgwRrtq Colombia wonât be an easy game but itâs all on course for a bragging rights-defining ClĂĄsico with Argentina in the final

Bielsa at Stoke is my ultimate football fantasy. I'm not sure its the very worst btw, but should be far better than it is. It started well when Austria, Turkey, Romania and Georgia were still in it. I think because they played like they would die to win it.

Scenes in COL-URU semi. Colombia went ahead but lost a man to a red in the 1st half⌠2nd was predictably chaotic but they held on. James Rodriguez too emotional to complete his interview at the end of the game.. Suarez stinking the place out kicking off about something or other ages after the game had finished.
The Colombian players and fans are completely delirious.. Luis DĂaz is currently fighting back the tears in an interview as well, about his past, his heroes, his dad.. theyâre a good team and thereâs some profound spirit there, I actually quite fancy them against ARG in the final.

Darwin Nunez couldnât put any chances on target, even the chair he threw at the Colombian fans missed its mark.
