Copa America 2024 - Group A (ARG, PER, CHI, CAN)

[Savant]

Is it that young buck from the MLS I keep hearing about?

Ha no - I am curious about Osorio on Chile. Haven’t seen a ton of buzz on him (so naturally Chelsea will sign him after selling a chippy) but kind of stumbled upon him by accident. Might be a bit early for him but if he has a path to some minutes think he is an interesting one

 

[al secord]

No that is Kamal Miller. Messi raves about him.

This. Slot's big summer signing

Thats probably Bombito the other starting CB going into this tournament.

He's got an interesting story, played College in Quebec before going D1 later in his College career. A few years later and he is starting at the COPAs.

 

[McGarnagle]

Canada is a lot more physical than I thought

Peru looks better today than they did Friday, but they still are useless in the attacking box

 

[McGarnagle]

Peru dominating the game then Lopez goes and headbutts someone for no reason. They're incredibly lucky he didn't get a red card for that.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Absolute disgrace that headbutt wasn’t a red card. Copa is unhinged

 

[McGarnagle]

Did the referee just have a heart attack?

Heat stroke maybe. Just call the half, jeez

Red card in any league or tournament in the world except Copa America apparently

 

[McGarnagle]

Peru needs to bring Guerrero in. Lapadula's finishing is trash. The midfield formation is working for them, they just need someone up front who can shoot.

 

[McGarnagle]

Araujo kicked the ball and the Canadian guy ran into him on follow through, how is that even a yellow, much less a red?

This is a makeup call for the missed headbutt

Absolute joke of a call

 

[McGarnagle]

Peru is pretty screwed now. They're not advancing with a draw unless you manage to lose to Argentina by less than Chile does tonight.

It's completely over for them now. Shame, this is the last time we'll ever see Guerrero in a major tournament.

You serious? Lol.

Yes, someone needs to explain how that's worth a card, does he not have the right to clear the ball? Contact was incidental on the follow through. On most tackles when you get the ball first, it's at worst just a foul.

That said, it evens out since Lopez did get away with the headbutt. I just think the Araujo red was extremely excessive and a shame to seal Peru's fate in this tournament with.

Now all that's left is to watch the big names of this generation (Guerrero, Cueva, Carrillo, etc.) make their last appearances for the selección in a competitive tournament in the final game with Argentina. Then again, if they continue to fail to develop anybody at all who can play forward, maybe Guerrero comes back at age 44 for the next Copa after all.

There's your problem. There's no such thing as "incidental on the follow through " you show your studs and come down on a guy's ankle, you're gone.

I went to have a look out of curiosity. It’s wildly out of control and there’s not a league or competition in the world where that isn’t a red, especially in the days of VAR.

Clearly not intentional, but it’s reckless as hell and the kind of tackle that breaks legs.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, the same idiot VAR crew couldn't even spot an obvious headbutt.

 

[stats1]

That’s an obvious red card. Cleats way up and even if your excuse is that it was a follow through, this is basic stuff they teach you as a kid. What an idiot to do that

Canada needs an Argentina win and at the very least a draw with Chile and they’re through

 

[Bounces R Way]

De Paul is such an ass haha

De Paul is such an ass haha

Great hair though

 

[Carlzner]

God Alvarez would be so good at Anfield, thank god someone will be saving him from Pep at least

 

[stats1]

Argentina lack of finishing late in the first half. Tons of chances

 

[Power Man]

TSN force feeding us Fox Sports broadcast…..

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Argentina clearly inspired by Englands masterclass performance today.
