Madbadteacher Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Didn't see a thread so...... Enjoyable so far, USA lost their first game then won comfortably, should make round 2 Mexico look good Brazil humps Haiti 7-1 Uruguay are out already. Big strop from Suarez, listed as injured and not an eligible sub went slightly tonto after a full warm up, pads on etc....... Tournament surprise so far, Venezuela have made round 2 with a game to spare Oh, and yon boy Hector for Jamaica looks good........

manc_don Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Can't say it's had much coverage over here if I'm honest. Read a bit about it on the bbc, namely the Venezuela games as theyve scored their first ever copa America goal? How's it being received over in the US?

Better than usual for "saccar" but still can't sell out their own games Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/7536-copa-america/#findComment-174485
Jute Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 US win their group after Columbia surprisingly (well it surprised me and increased the bookies profits) beaten 3-2 by already eliminated Costa Rica.

Mentorred Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 A bit late but what about Suarez thinking he could come on as a sub and then finding out he had been listed as out injured on the team sheet, Punches the dug out and throws his boots on the pitch Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/7536-copa-america/#findComment-174587

They'll be on the same level as Argentina if the South Americans suddenly stop picking world class players!

tlg1903 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 The number of kids playing football now in America combined with the way Americans really get sports and know how to develop youth suggest to me that it's only a matter of time before the states starts producing world class players.

Jute Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Final was pish. Both teams were more interested in kicking lumps out of each other rather than playing football. Both sides reduced to 10 men inside 40 minutes. Chile won on penalties after 0-0 draw over 120 minutes. Messi missed one of Argentina's penalties and announced his retirement from international football after the game.
