Thinking about going to the Mexico game on the 26th. Gonna look for cut rate prices the day before.

No Ravel Morrison on Jamaica. Urrrgh

I am a big fan of what Ecuador is doing, I think they could do some damage in this tournament.

I’m curious about how they set their team up. Interesting talent pool

Don't think he's been part of their recent teams.

They're the SA version of Portugal, one of those underappreciated nations that has the talent to compete but always counterattacks.

The other weird thing about them is all their best players not only play the same position but have the same strengths and weaknesses. They are just a team of tweener CBs and midfielders that run around a lot. Like I am curious especially about how their d shakes out with Pacho and Hincapie.

Kind of feels like this is the Ecuador coming out party. Hurts that they don't have Estupinan though.

Interesting fact - Ecuador and Venezuela are the only 2 CONMEBOL nations to have never won a COPA.

This Mexico team is poor but they are going to play three home games and probably get favorable refereeing as well. If this was a regular Copa in South America I doubt they get out the group

Mexico is used to under performing but there is no way that they don't get past Venezuela and Jamaica

Mexico should be good for second IMO. If Jamiaca had Bailey then they would potentially be my choice there.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That’s a red. Dangerous and nasty

 

[PanniniClaus]

This seems to be unavailable in Canada.

No love for Ethan Pinnock?

Sorry mate, I don't care for Brentford like that.

He's my club Kamal Miller

 

[robertmac43]

On the game itself. I was happy to see Sarmiento score. Hopefully come the club season he is able to find a spot on the Brighton squad.

The red card was brutally stupid from Valencia. Got be smarter in that situation....

Alvarez injured which looked like a pulled hamstring the way he grabbed the back of his leg when he went down

His reaction makes me think at minimum his tournament is done.

When a player goes down from a non contact injury it almost always seems to be serious

Antonio! Jamaica 1-0

Edit: never mind he was off

 

[red devil]

Antonio gives Jamaica the lead

No goal called offside

 

[red devil]

Mexico scores after a ton of pressure

 

[al secord]

I blame @robertmac43 because I'm seeing Alexei Lalas everywhere now.
