Unreal. Porto can't buy a goal. Inches wide from Quaresma.. they could have scored about five in final 5 of the 1st half and the first 15 of the 2nd.

FYI, we do.

No one should be discouraging new people from participating in the thread. I think, as has been seen over the past few months, discussion can get very stale and emboldens the cliquey nature that can foster within communities if newer voices aren't welcomed in to the discussion.

Copa America Centenario Coming to USA


beIN SPORTS has exclusively learned that the long-rumored Copa America Centenario is coming to the United States in 2016.

The long-rumored Copa America Centenario is about to become a reality.

beIN SPORTS has learned than an official announcement that the 2016 tournament will be coming to the United States is imminent and could happen as early as May 1. The tournament would be the biggest sporting event held in the U.S. since the 2002 Winter Olympics and the most prestigious soccer event since the 1994 World Cup.

The tournament has been in the planning stages for years as part of the 100th anniversary of the first Copa America and the founding of CONMEBOL, South America's governing body for soccer. Original plans had the tournament taking place in both the United States and Mexico in an effort to tap into the vast expat communities in both nations—not to mention increased access to television and stadium revenues and sponsorship dollars. A source inside CONCACAF, the confederation that governs North and Central American soccer, told beIN SPORTS that the decision has been made that the U.S. will host the tournament.

Back in October 2012, CONMEBOL appeared to jump the gun by announcing the tournament was ready to go. The United States Soccer Foundation and CONCACAF said that while they were interested, there were still several issues that needed to be addressed. Apparently, those concerns have now been resolved.

This past January, Spanish sports daily Marca announced that the venues for the tournament had already been chosen: the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, Calif., MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the Citrus Bowl, in Orlando, Fla., R.F.K. Stadium in Washington D.C., and Reliant Stadium in Houston. There was no confirmation from beIN SPORTS sources on the stadiums that will be used, other than to say the tournament would be "nationwide."

All 10 teams from the South American confederation will participate. The United States, Mexico and four additional CONCACAF teams will join them.
