Costa Rica vs Paraguay starts in about 10 minutes. Hopefully it's a good one.
No Keylor Navas is a big loss for CR, though.

Here's a fun Fact:
Since 1993 the winner of the Copa America has faced Mexico either in group stage or Knockout. 1993 is also the year Mexico began to participate in the Copa America

Are you talking about the CONMEBOL tournament? Because the USA is part of the CONCACAF and their continental tournament is the Gold Cup. This Copa America Centenario is a special edition, and have teams from both confederations.
Guys, I've watched every US game for the past 6 years, I know how this shit works. Just wondering why Mexico is always in the Copa America and we are not.
Edit:
Thanks, sorry for the quick edit. Huh, seems strange. Would love to be in it every time since we can never make the confed cup.

Unfortunately I think most games that Mexico, USA, Brazil, and Argentina aren't a part of will have weak attendance numbers.
What the fuck even happened?

invitations for some non-SouthAmerica teams, Haiti had to competite to get the final spot for this.
US have been in Copa 3 times I think

Back in 2007, US took a C squad and pissed CONMEBOL off. US finished dead last and scored once only(?),While Mexico Finished third and beat Brazil with an almost A squad.
The worst part was that the US were Gold Cup Champions a few weeks prior

depends on where they're playing too
I don't expect a lot of Costa Ricans an Paraguayians in the area. I know whenever Haiti and Jamaica plays in the Northeast its a party
The irritating one?

The worst one. He's bias and full of himself. But for people that don't know him hes alright

I'm watching on Univision, not UDN so I don't know if it's someone different there. But he's cheering for Costa Rica.
Edit: Yeah, I think UDN has that Edgar guy. The woman down on the field was talking over the commentator on regular Univision just now.

Univision audio is a mess right now. You can hear that woman cutting into the feed and even laughing in the background.

That sucks. Gold Cup is such a boring tournament with such predictable results.
I've tried to erase last year's shite show from memory.

The stadium is half empty because apparently only the Costa Rica fans showed up. It's all red in the stands, where's Paraguay's fans?
Did someone catch the temperature on the field? Both sides' players look really winded already.
I'm debating with myself if I even want to watch Brazil's B team instead of playing Uncharted 4.

I'm assuming this tournament is a testing ground for having a CA every four, a Gold Cup every four, and a Copa Panamerica (or whatever they want to call it) in the opposite year.

They should have a unified tournament every 4 years, do it like this one halfway between World Cups. We need a Copa Unidos de Americas.

Last time you guys were invited in 2007 you were absolute shit finishing dead last in your group
Awe man i still remember that first goal in the Mexico vs Brazil game

Nery should've had a hat trick. Still what a way to start and then Ramoncito free kick.
I wish Layun could do free kicks like Ramon. But I'm not complaining, Layun is great as passing

Mexicans say "us Latinos"? cringing really hard here
You have rejected invitations in the past. I think they invite Mexico and some other team on rotation. USA is definitely favored there.
I don't know if the particular announcer who stated it is Mexican.
Got into soccer during the 2010 World Cup, so that explains my ignorance. Shame though, would be great experience to have this tournament in our cycle.

Draw is probably the best result for the US and obviously Colombia.
I don't know if a deal could be swung to make CONCACAF ditch the 2-year-cup cycle. We have it the same reason it is always in the US, $$$.
It can be hard to send your best team to another's tourney as clubs are usually under no obligation to release players for other confed's tourneys. The quality of a team usually depends on the level of charity that the domestic teams have. Sometimes corporations who hold the broadcast rights pressure them to release players.

Gee, Paraguay has players to play much better than this. The choosed system doesn't help at all to play well. It's weird coming from Ramon Diaz, his teams doesn't play this safe.

Its hard for Paraguay to take the initiative, is easier for them when they play against teams that are better than them.
