Underwhelming footy so far.

Can't wait for club football to be back.

It's mid-cycle for the World Cup which is why the teams will never be the finished article in this competition, hence it's not taken seriously. The time to judge these teams will be in 2 years.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

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

What's his bias?

 

[MrKaepora]

I was excited to get some football until the return of the main European club competitions. I forgot it was copa America.

I hope Brazil can give a show...yeah, right.

 

[Mestizo]

I'm watching fights and yellow cards, not soccer

 

[JMFangio]

What a boring ass game.

 

[GunBR]

I still can't believe that Brazil only got a tie against this Paraguay in march

I'm watching fights and yellow cards, not soccer

You probably don't watch the Libertadores and other south american leagues right?

This game is almost a friendly compared with that

 

[v1lla21]

Haití vs Perú is gonna ve good m8s. I can feel it in my bones.
I don't know why people expect amazing football out of these teams lol. It's the same with the European competitions with the lower teams.

 

[CMojicaAce]

RED LOL

in the last minute!

 

[MrKaepora]

Yeah!!!

A red card!

 

[smokeandmirrors]

well then i guess that helps lol.

 

[StriKeVillain]

For as physical as both teams are, they're actually quite toothless.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

good Red

the ref gave allloooot of warnings before this.

Actually i'm optimistic about this game. No irony
I can see Peru making 5 goals only in the first half

Spoiler

and now because I said the game will be 0x0

 

[dallow_bg]

Where's the penalty for the handball?

 

[ZZMitch]

Lol you could not have drawn this game up any better for the US. what was Watson thinking? He's been in red card form for Vancouver in MLS too

 

[MrKaepora]

Where's the penalty for the handball?

The guy had his hands close to his body and had no intention to play the ball.

Not a penalty.

 

[Caturro]

Where's the penalty for the handball?

Wasn't a hand ball, it hit his torso.

I actually thought it was a fun game to watch... but I'm South American. I'm probably well adjusted to these type of games.

It was his lower arm but like the poster above said it was next to his body and not outstretched as I watch the replay.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Perfect result for the US

 

[DecoReturns]

What's his bias?

Club America.

Ehh, last year Copa America had great matches .

 

[Chris R]

Best possible outcome for the USA :/

 

[DecoReturns]

Yeah like How the hell did Chile not beat our B squad, better yet how the hell did we scored three times. We had Vuoso.

I'm kind of surprised South American leagues haven't become more popular in the US.

If they got regular English language announcers they could. Right now with only Espanol commentary it's hard to appeal to the non-Spanish speaking populations.

 

[Chris R]

Sucks that the 2nd game of the day is pushed off to FS2, lucky I have it.

Expecting to see a mostly full stadium in Seattle... I hope at least.

Access is the bigger problem I think. If they got their games on TV or streamed for free, an audience would build.

Well, actually I'm latin american but I find boring football club competitions. Copa America only the knockout stage, it doesn't have the same level of the Euro.

 

[Ganzlinger]

We need to unify CONMEBOL and CONCACAF.

Libertadores/Liberators Cup with MLS and Liga MX teams. You guys will love the atmosphere. The Mexicans already know how cool it is.

Argentinian Final Last Week For Reference - (Link with Better Quality)

Edit: Match starts at 18' 45''

Who even has FS2? I've been leeching off my parents who have Comcast by using their login to stream but they don't have FS2 on their package. I'm now watching Univision in glorious Espanol, maybe I'll get to hear a scoring call at least.

 

[dallow_bg]

Was there a moment of silence for Muhammad Ali at the start of the earlier match too? I missed the start.

Yes...


This match is one way traffic so far..

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Jeez, what's with the poor attendance? Is it the prices?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Haiti playing mad nervous

 

[GunBR]

Fun match so far, specially now that Haiti is finally trying to attack

Jeez, what's with the poor attendance? Is it the prices?

Well it's Peru vs Haiti, for the Copa America at USA

Guess so, I just wonder if the prices were lower, then more casual/neutral fans would fill it up.

how are Sounders' attendance numbers?

I wouldn't go to Peru/Haiti if I had free tix tbh.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

US,Mexico,Argentina,Brasil,Chile, Uruguay and Colombia are the only teams that will bring people out to watch.

 

[Nemesis121]

Damn Vuvuzella...or whatever is that annoying noise

 

[DecoReturns]

Haiti is actually putting up a fight, I guess that Gold Cup wasn't a Fluke

 

[JMFangio]

Haiti doing better than expected.

 

[v1lla21]

Well of course since you still have to pay for parking. Lol.

Haití and Jamaica are gonna have everyone legit shook.

 

[CMojicaAce]

They're gonna win it all. Bigger victory story than Leicester!

 

[Ceres]

Damn Vuvuzella...or whatever is that annoying noise

I wish it was a vuvuzela.

 

[Rainy]

If that horn blows one more time...

 

[Skellig Gra]

Best to change the channel lol

I agree but i am waiting for UERO 2016 to save the day and give us entertaining matches.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Damn that Player is Pissed.
