Wow, post just saved Paraguay but Romero didn't find the Daikatana.

Paraguay's short on time though, can they pull this comeback off?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Zapata. :-(

 

[The Chosen One]

Wow so James was storing energy for the Copa when he was being shit all season at Madrid? Good game for him.
.

Some players always seem to come alive in international play but struggle at the club level. James might be one of those players. ...or Real Madrid is just a poor fit for him.

 

[Mestizo]

that escalated quickly, both were close!

 

[dallow_bg]

Props to Paraguay. Fought to the end, even down a man.

 

[clemenx]

Fun games. Good day of Copa América.

 

[Corronchilejano]

This game was intense. I did not expect it.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Closer than comfort but still a win.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What a game. Dramatic until the last second. Literally.

 

[GunBR]

Great game, and Paraguay vs USA gonna be a war

 

[The Chosen One]

Crazy finish!

Overall a pretty good day of Copa action.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Best game of the tournament so far.

Paraguay left it all on the field today.

 

[Beach]

Tournament has been really good the past few days

 

[ActStriker]

Those last 20-25 minutes were nuts

 

[Char Aznable]

Nice game, both teams gave it all

Instead of using him as a playmaker (because he can throw some genius passes and crosses) Zidane wants him to be a working class midfielder, which he isn't.

Great game, and Paraguay vs USA gonna be a war

Paraguay's going all out vs USA since a win gets them in. That game's going to be good.

 

[Mestizo]

USA-Paraguay will be interesting, they will play their qualificaton and for USA a tie is enough

 

[B-Dubs]

Great game, and Paraguay vs USA gonna be a war

Yup. US will be happy with a tie, but Paraguay is going to try and leave it all on the field. They better bring more than CR brought or they'll get wrecked though...

 

[v1lla21]

What a fucking match.
Easily the best match of the tournament followed by Mexico v Uruguay.

 

[CMojicaAce]

After watching this, Paraguay has what it takes to beat the US. That game is gonna be intense.

yep gonna be awesome (hopefully). and it's on saturday too which means i can definitely watch

 

[Corronchilejano]

Where was this Paraguay last game?

 

[MegaSackman]

Where was this Paraguay last game?

Almirón and Ayala were on the bench. -_-
Almirón, Ayala, and Gomez plays at Lanus, last champión in Argentina. Almirón was awarded MVP of the final, but he's new in the national team so it must be the reason why he didn't play last match.

 

[labx]

Seriously.

I love Colombia but let's chill with the hyperbole. They still have a tough road ahead of them. Let the boys play the game.

This... and I'm from Colombia. Today was a good match, not a great match. Celis didn't click and he fucked up. Remember people the Colombia of the World Cup was a dream come true but the dream is over. All this guys were in great shape but now they are not so much. Fame, bench, bad management have take a toll in all these players.

 

[Clydefrog]

shit... Paraguay is gonna put it all on the field against Estados Unidos.

BENCH ZARDES

 

[KingSnake]

Paraguay vs. US will be quite a game.

 

[gutshot]

if we go 4-0 i'm buying everyone a hotdog

an american hotdog, with relish

I'll take mine without relish, please.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Ketchup and cheese please.

 

[NoRéN]

Had to grab my glasses to make sure I wasn't seeing wrong.

When's the last time USA won a match like that?

 

[Line_HTX]

Man, thinking back, it does look like Zardes was trying to be fancy and just straight up lost the ball at least 5 times already. The hell is he even doing...

 

[Corronchilejano]

Tonight Ecuador will attempt to give a bigger beatdown to Peru than Brazil will give to Haiti, and fail.

Neither of these teams has shown a lot of good soccer, so this is all based on statistics. In reality, it may as well be a coin toss right now for all parties (less so Brazil).

The score probably will be "conservative", but I have a hard time imagining Ecuador not beating Perú. Perú has a B-Team (except for Guerrero, the goalkeeper and a couple more), wherea Ecuador is an A-Team, which has been great during the WC quali.

And according to an Adidas spokeswoman she said " the mistake only happened in the US."

I find funny just how much Americans struggle spelling Colombia.

 

[Oveja Negra]

LOL, they got the correct name in the ball but not in the poster?

On my way to the Stadium for the Brasil vs Haiti match.

 

[uncredited male]

I used to work for this place that ordered a big pennant for a marathon. A couple of hours before the event someone realized they misspelled "marathon."

We fixed it with a magic marker. No one noticed.

I mean I know the correct spelling but it's usage isn't consistent.

 

[Corronchilejano]

The CONMEBOL President said today that next Copa America will be played on Brazil. No mention about the projected next one in Ecuador nor the CONCACAF merger.

 

[v1lla21]

On my way to the Stadium for the Brasil vs Haiti match.

Good stuff. Hope you have fun and the game isn't boring. Lol.

 

[Cornballer]

FWIW, Sunil Gulati claimed they hadn't talked about it yet

On reports of Copa America and the Gold Cup merging and then taking place regularly in the United States:

“There have been no discussions about future events with U.S. Soccer or between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL about this. There is nothing imminent, no plans, no discussions have taken place. Having said all of that, could there be discussions about it? Sure, but nothing has happened to date. [The report] is completely inaccurate.”

“This is a centenario for Copa America, but if we were thinking about a combined event in the future, it wouldn’t have to be a Copa America. It would be some new created event, where there might be an equal number of teams, for example, or all of those things that are specific to Copa America wouldn’t necessarily take place. This is a specific event, 100th anniversary, approved on the FIFA calendar, and so on. What we might talk about for a future event would be a new event.”

EDIT: It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to tack on an additional tournament in one of the off years. Schedule would look something like: 2018 World Cup, 2019 Concacaf/Conmebol combined tournament, 2020 separate Copa America / Gold Cup, 2021 Confed Cup, 2022 World Cup. It's too much soccer, but the powers that be like money.

I find funny just how much Americans struggle spelling Colombia.

Well, this is probably twofold. Our capital is the District of Columbia and there's a really famous college here that is spelled Columbia -- most people are accustomed to seeing that spelling. It's a common name for towns as well even outside of DC. The fact that the country is typically pronounced (here) the same way as Columbia throws people off.

 

[tim.mbp]

I mean I know the correct spelling but it's usage isn't consistent.

How isn't it consistent? Colombia is a country in South America, Columbia is term for the United States.

In the image you can see it's spelled differently in the ad and the ball.

Typically Columbus is spelled Colon in Spanish. On another note it's not just the US as Canada has British Columbia

 

[Lunar FC]

Regardless of the error. Both of Colombias shirts are fire.

Beats the hell out of the US kit that's for sure.

 

[KingSnake]

Which makes one wonder why the country isn't named Colónia.

Spoiler

I know that his original name is Colombo
