Putting in Cuadrado now. Seem to be a bit more serious won't be surprised to see Hames make a short appearance

It's James and he's been playing since the second half started

 

[TheCochese]

These commentators keep telling me that Costa Rica hasn't beaten Argentina since June of 1980.

So I'm witnessing something which literally hasn't happened since before I was born.

Argentina or Colombia?

 

[Niks]

James is already playing

 

[Skellig Gra]

He's been in the whole half.

Lol, hes already in. Peckermann should switch keepers Zapata sucks.

 

[Toxi]

Never underestimate the Ticos.

 

[gutter_trash]

poor James

 

[Corronchilejano]

In the last 14 tourney or qualifying matches against Argentina, Colombia has won....Twice.

Argentina? 9 times.

Damn.

Not even worried.

 

[Mestizo]

Waaaaaat, I skip this match cuz I think Colombia would win and now they are losing 3-1 o_o

Can someone remind me Which team is nicknamed "El Tri"?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Mexico

Edit: oh shit

 

[Pep Guardiola]

I might be mistaken, but do they even have a sub left at this point?

Nope they've used 3

Out: Dayro Moreno
In: Edwin Cardona

Out: Sebastian Perez
In: James Rodriguez

Out: Felipe Aguilar
In: Juan Cuadrado

 

[perfectchaos007]

Mexico

Oh thanks

 

[Oveja Negra]

Nice goal.

 

[mozfan12]

Great goal, sets up a nice 18 last minutes of football.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Wow what a game!

 

[Pep Guardiola]

Oh shit

Massive goal, a lot of time left

 

[Unknown Soldier]

We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!
Today, we celebrate our Colombia Day!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

This game....

 

[B-Dubs]

Nope they've used 3

Out: Dayro Moreno
In: Edwin Cardona

Out: Sebastian Perez
In: James Rodriguez

Out: Felipe Aguilar
In: Juan Cuadrado

That's what I thought.

Here's hoping the Ticos can hold on.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Park that bus Costa Rica

 

[smokeandmirrors]

wow dat header *JUST* missed.


also field looks like dogshit. They playing in houston?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Oof that was a solid chance

 

[Oveja Negra]

Ohhhhhhhhh, so closeeee.

 

[B-Dubs]

How does that not go in?

 

[mozfan12]

Would pretty funny if Colombia goes through all this trouble and Brazil still ends up second but I believe Ecuador would have to score an insane amount of goals, while Brazil would need to tie.

 

[KingSnake]

What a game.

 

[MegaSackman]

Nope, you won't see anything like this in Euro.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nope, you won't see anything like this in Euro.

Concacaf and Conembol play a different style of football. it's all personal preference but I prefer the Americas over Euros

 

[ZZMitch]

Seems silly from Costa Rica not to spread these subs out to take up more time

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Concacaf and Conembol play a different style of football. it's all personal preference but I prefer the Americas over Euros

I do too, there is something raw, unpredictable, and fun about teams from the Americas. Euro is all too tactical, cordial, and basic.

 

[The Chosen One]

Imagine if we (the US) tied Paraguay.... we would be shitting bricks right now.

 

[mozfan12]

Nope, you won't see anything like this in Euro.

The Euros were awesome when it was a 16 team tournament. Now with 24 teams you get 4 out 6 groups where 3 teams qualify. Basically takes out the do or die part of the group stages. Copa America also does not have the pegeantry of the Euros, but I still find it to be just as exciting.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Imagine if we (the US) tied Paraguay.... we would be shitting bricks right now.

Nah the goal difference is still huge

 

[perfectchaos007]

Asian football is even more tactical. In the Americas they take more shots but the conversion rate is much lower

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

If this ends in a tie, does the U.S. remain at the top of the group and go to Seattle?

 

[Skellig Gra]

No

 

[Eila]

Eh. Costa Rica has a -3 goal difference at the moment, while the US would have had +2 with a tie.

 

[The Chosen One]

Nah the goal difference is still huge

Not really. With a tie, we would only have been +2 in goal difference. Costa Rica was up 2 goals just ten minutes ago.

 

[The Chosen One]

Eh. Costa Rica has a -3 goal difference at the moment, while the US would have had +2 with a tie.

Ah that's right, I forgot how much Costa Rica was in the hole with the 4-0 loss to us.

 

[TheCochese]

Handing out cards like candy.

 

[uncredited male]

IIRC Costa Rica would have needed to win by 6 goals if the US tied.

US +2
CR -4

 

[Skellig Gra]

IIRC Costa Rica would have needed to win by 6 goals if the US tied.

Yep was never gonna happen

 

[Nesotenso]

Asian football is even more tactical. In the Americas they take more shots but the conversion rate is much lower

Asia is a weaker confederation than both CONCACAF and CONEMBOL

 

[WAR recon zero]

This is the colombia i remember. The one that dissapoints and plays like shit

 

[KingSnake]

Cardona hasn't passed once to James in the box. Only crappy shots.

 

[Eila]

What a result for the US. This probably means Ecuador for them. Argentina bracket though.

 

[TheCochese]

You can't say that on TV!

 

[Tarkus]

I heard that "puta" loud and clear.

 

[Corronchilejano]

This is the colombia i remember. The one that dissapoints and plays like shit

This is how you know how people don't actually follow the team.
