Except this tournament is not official, so it means Chile will be remembered forever as the last champion.

Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! B-)

It looks like a simple card, but when you look at it carefully, it has more cups than ...

Shocking News

MLS shouldn't let "unofficial" news be published on their website. It's already been pulled.

 

[uncredited male]

Regardless of the result here the end goal will probably happen. A lucrative, multi-confed tourney held in the US every cycle with FIFA's blessing.

 

[AstroLad]

It isn't really so much USA fans -- it's legit crazy impressive how many intl fans there are here. Went to US-Colombia in San Jose and it was a sellout (yeah some people don't show up, but I bought two of the last seats available so I know none were available for sale within a short time) but like 80/20 Colombia fans. I'm also a Cardinals and Suns fan so used to being outnumbered here but didn't expect it so bad at this match haha. Colombia fans were all totally cool though props to them.

May I have a suggestion for the OP? I think it would be better to put the schedule somewhere closer to the top of the post now, seems more intuitive to check it there rather than scroll through all the teams lists first.

MLS shouldn't be reporting news anyway but 9 times out of 10 its the only way they can get coverage of the league because even the local outlets barely cover it in cities WITH teams.

We might not ever be good at soccer but we're rich as fuck so we're gonna host all your games!

ALL YOUR GAME ARE BELONG TO US

FUHAHAHAHAHA~!

Because of the level of salt, our copa is equivalent to 20 or something od the regular ones

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I love the idea of merging the two tournaments. I hate the idea of it being in the US every single time.

 

[DecoReturns]

Something Random, but Rafa Marquez always came off to me as a guy who would let himself go at 35, stop caring, and basically becoming a lazy player.

Yet, hes in much better shape since he came back from MLS, not as dirty as he was, more of a quite player, and plays like he gives a damn for Mexico. Funny, I guess he grew up a bit.Sucks that he'll be gone soon, but I kinda hope he goes to Russia and become a 5 time world cup player and Captain.

A Journalist complains that the organizers aren't doing enough to explain the history of the competition.

There was no black and white video before the game showing great moments of past tournaments, no former players on the field to greet fans before the game, no retro memorabilia not even a photo of Pele or Maradona on the walls of the stadium. As far as I could see – nothing that was designed to commemorate the wonderful and rich history of the oldest continental football tournament in the world.

This tournament was made to get some quick money, not to honor the history of the Copa America.

i really hope the next copa america is in Brasil and then Ecuador as it should and not in the US where it has no soul.

Starting the fire for the asado.

VAMO'H CHILE !!!

Not me. Why would we want concacrap fodder teams shittin up the tournament. Just have Mexico in it and invite idk Japan or Korea or Costa Rica then we good. Also usa brings in a lot of money from mexico and south anerican fans so might as well take it and run with it.
Also go chile and Panama.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Accounting final will cause me to miss the Argentina vs Chile game

 

[WAR recon zero]

Bolivia is really bad. Panama playing like a world class team

 

[X05]

I'm ambivalent towards merging the leagues.
But being in the US every single time is a terrible idea, as that alienates the vast majority of South Americans (traveling to the US is not cheap, and then there are the visa issues).

It looks like a simple card, but when you look at it carefully, it has more cups than ...

These were funny as a way to troll Chile when they didn't have any cups. Now not so much

 

[Char Aznable]

Panama should be able to score a 2nd goal, since Bolivia is so bad at defending

 

[Mestizo]

This match is so amateur but also entertaining XD

 

[Rainy]

Well things got interesting

 

[CMojicaAce]

That clearance tho

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ayyy Panama

 

[Cellbomber]

That clearance tho

Well that rain (and likely wind) isn't helping.

Game is going to get more sloppy but entertaining.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Woah why was salsa banned?

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

So yesterday they play the Chilean anthem for Uruguay and today they put Bolivia's flag upside down? Haha wonder what they'll screw up next.

 

[CMojicaAce]

I didn't realize how windy it was until I saw the corner flag.

 

[X05]

Woah why was salsa banned?

Because Salsa probably.

The ref for the Argentina/Chile match will go to the wrong stadium.

 

[Char Aznable]

GG Panama nice goal

 

[Rainy]

Let's goooooo

 

[Regulus Tera]

That was some nice conjunction


PANAMA

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Damn it Panama! Why'd you score that second goal? Argentina could have used a draw lol.

 

[Eila]

Well done Panama, please get a cheeky draw in the next two matches and go through.

 

[Rainy]

Wow Bolivia could have equalized right there

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Man watching the pregame for Argentina/Chile it's full of Argentinians! Lot of Mexicans rooting for Argentina too.

Dis gon be gud.

Supposedly all 70.000 tickets were sold.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

I feel bad for Bolivia, they haven't won a Copa game in sooooo long

Wow that's surprising. I thought Argentinians and Mexicans were soccer rivals.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Argentina vs Chile?

finally, that Stadium is being put to good use

 

[Regulus Tera]

Mexico and Panama saving CONCACAF's honour

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Wow that's surprising. I thought Argentinians and Mexicans were soccer rivals.

They have a chant that goes "Messi-co! Messi-co!"

 

[Oveja Negra]

Let's go Chileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

I hope this match delivers

 

[Rainy]

This match is gonna be good

With the result yesterday, Mexico is likely coming at the top of the group, so it's in their best interest that Argentina does too.

Wow that's surprising. I thought Argentinians and Mexicans were soccer rivals.

Argentina's rivals are Brazil and England

Spoiler

and us.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Wow that's surprising. I thought Argentinians and Mexicans were soccer rivals.

What rivalry? Mexico has just beaten Argentina one time in an official match. There's animosity from Mexico towards Argentina because of what happened in 2006 and 2010.

I imagine most of them are Messi fans.

I am ok with Chile topping the group so long as Panama end second.

 

[Mestizo]

Last year....

 

[Corronchilejano]

Calling it now, Argentina 3, Chile 2.

About the uruguyan fiasco from yesterday, over here in the Caracol transmission they said that rehearsals are made with the anthems, and that chileand commentators noticed that they were playing the wrong one but assumed there was a reason for it

 

[Rainy]

Fucking tired of this Beckham commercial.

 

[mreddie]

Fucking tired of this Beckham commercial.

Could be wores, could be the Kobe ads

 

[Caturro]

Wow, home game for Argentina.
