Copa America 2024

He’s on the upswing for sure. Playing in Ligue 1 next year after moving from Watford. Still just 22. Scored an absolutely ice cold penalty to win the quarter final in the shootout as well.

Unfortunately he missed one this time. Doesn't take away from his stellar performance over the 90+ mins.

Canada produced a very scrappy performance like the US used to when they were the big underdogs in the 90s and 00s.

I don't know if I would describe it as a scrappy performance. They dominated play for extended periods of time with intricate passing patterns. Shame they didn't hang on for the win as they were the better team over 90 mins.

I love that a tournament that has suspended managers for having their teams return late to the pitch after halftime will now do a 20 to 25 minute halftime show with Shakira. It just makes the total CONMEBOL shitshow complete.

Hopefully this one offers up a good final!

Half-time should be good...


But aside from Shakira - I just want Romero to make it through unscathed.

Kick off delayed 30 minutes already. It will be a shit show both on and off the pitch.

This could get called off. So many people outside.

Just people standing outside in 40C heat breaching through security. No big deal.

Who is the second best team in South America?

Argentina.

It will get delayed - imo.

Biden is speaking at 8 - so I am thinking they will use that as an excuse to push it back a little.

Crazy scenes though.

They've already pushed it back to 8:30. I can see it being longer.

Argentine commentators saying the players' families are stuck outside.

Christ! The cop punching the Colombian fan at the end there!

Lot of lessons to be taken into the WC in 2026.

Thread for those with twitter.

Looks like we have a Euro final 2021 situation here, but with American Police.

Thankfully American police are famously known for their calmness and ability to keep a cool head when confronted with heated situations.

The whole world is getting in - there's no way they can play the game with all these people inside.

I don’t wish this at all, but this could end really poorly at the stadium with the us police.
