I am a homer, Canada and Argentina coming out.

I've been waiting my whole life for us to finally be South American champions.

Not sure what scaloni is cooking. Carboni starts but he already confirmed Guido is going to copa. I’m thinking we might have a surprise inclusion.

Are there gonna be separate threads for each individual game for the Copa…?

Apparently so.

I was thinking instead, we just make a Group A GDT and discuss Copa America Group A and Euros Group A in that thread.

Peru has been a lot better since Fossati took over, though it's just been some friendlies with D-tier nations like Dominican Republic and Nicaragua so who knows if it's real improvement or just window dressing. Reynoso's stint coaching was an incredible dumpster fire and they're going to fail to qualify for the WC out of CONMEBOL unless they pull off a miracle because of the hole he put them in, so whatever they do under Fossati can't be worse than that.

Not sure they have enough firepower to get anywhere though. Guerrero is 40 and still probably starting up front. Lapadula is 34 and would be a reserve on a lot of other nations' rosters. Gallese is legit in goal and they have a good defense when Advincula is healthy, but they just can't score. It's possible they can grind out draws with Chile and Canada and advance, but I'm not feeling positive.

Peru-Chile will be intense though because Gareca is on the other side

Had a feeling Carboni would sneak in after he started. Correa must be like wtf loool

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Correa didn't do much in the WC to be honest. Should be interesting to see Garnacho and Carbono

Can we expect Carboni to see much playing time though? There's quite a bunch of established attacking midfielders / forwards in the squad ahead of him.

Maybe some late cameos.

Even if he is only along for the ride, it should be a positive experience for him.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I love my country but I think Canada is going to get massacred like Sonny in Godfather 1.

Try as I might I'm not Scaloni. So I'm unsure what his plans are, I thought it would be Barco who would be the surprise inclusion a few months back. What's clear is that Scaloni is a fan of Carboni. I'd probably say he gets Almada like minutes and that's it.

I get more of a Beecher from Oz vibe. I think I'll be curled up in a ball at the end of my couch sucking my thumb during this one.
