Paid Members Psygnosis Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Argentina 1-1 Uruguay  Argentina are out on penalties, Tevez missed the penalty - Uruguay deservedly through, dogged display and Muslera was absolutely outstanding!  Mascherano was sent off for Argentina, Diego Perez the goalscorer for sent off for Uruguay - I think Sergio Batista maybe out of a job..

Little Johnny Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I know that the Turkish league is quite flush at the moment and perhaps his best performances are saved for his national side but what the fuck is Diego Lugano still doing at Fenerbache? I'm in awe of the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbins Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Gah, Suarez has to play at least one more game Lol Tevez. Brilliant game though. Argentina were better in the first half when it was still 11 vs 11. Too rushed when Uruguay went down to 10, and the extra man always ended up being bloody Zabaleta who'd inevitably waste it. Suarez was brilliant although at his sleaziest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman89762000 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 was reading on twitter apparently suarez went down a little too easy and made sure masch went off.. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Psygnosis Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Nah Masch shoved him, it was a yellow card offensive but he'd been booked earlier, and after the woefully bad night Tevez had, Manchester City better re-think that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildSybianRider Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Bit of a weird saturday night sitting in my parents' house to watch the Copa America. That match was worth it, though. Hope Tevez likes being closer to home   Lugano has always looked good when I've seen him. Class against us when we played Sao Paulo. Is he perhaps like Lucio, where when he's on he's immense, rises to the big games and big strikers, beast at corners and so on, but you're always waiting for some silly fuck up? Maybe he just loves Beyti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Psygnosis Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Brazil are out on Penalties, they missed four in a row, dreadful game to be honest it was a training ground exercise for Brazil, Paraguay are through to the semi finals..without winning a game.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'm glad I gave up betting on this after the first 4 games. I'd be homeless by now. Ever since the World Cup, the disastrous results have spread through football like a disease for punters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve rayson Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 What a crappy game is being played at the moment between Venezuela and Paraguay. Would be nice to see Venezuela make it to the finals for the first time in their history and get smashed by Forl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 I really hope that after this poor Copa, football fans might realise that it's a joke of competition and that the Gold Cup is a better alternative. Don't be ridiculous. Because we've had one poor tournament doesn't mean competition is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2011 It speaks volumes doesn't it, Paraguay play Brazil and Venezuala in the group stages and then again in the knockout stages. And draw in each game. Perhaps a merger between Copa America & Gold Cup would be a good idea, well it would be for football fans. There are only 10 South American teams, and they also all play each other twice for World Cup qualifiers. It's a bit tedious. Mixing them up with the Gold Cup teams will not only see them change their style of play and hopefully lead to more interesting matches, but it will also enhance the status of the North American sides as they will have more exposure of playing varied and decent teams. Â It probably won't happen, and many won't agree that this is an idea, but I'd like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve rayson Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Don't be ridiculous. Because we've had one poor tournament doesn't mean competition is a joke. Â You have Mexico and Costa Rica looking at this tournament as a training camp for young talent and nothing more. For fuck sake, if Mexico was with the same squad they had a month before in the Gold Cup they would take this joke of a tournament without breaking a sweat. Â And if that isn't enough for you, than consider the fact that if Japan (with a strong side) would been able to attend this one there's a good chance they could have become the South American Champions. Â Watch the finals of the Gold Cup and Panama's first two games from the group stage and tell me if there was anything close to that in this year's Copa Am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let every nation get involved (even Wales) and have qualifiers, then the best from each continent could meet in a one off tournament, say every four years?

So what he suggested is already kinda taking place, but these nations stil don't give a flying fuck about the lousy Copa Am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
