Copa America

[MariborKev]

Any other foot.ie heads for it?

I'm off to Chile on Wednesday and making my way across to Venezula to take in a few games(hopefully)

[Risteard]

You should be okay.
I think I remember half-empty stadiums for the last tournament.
I also remember great football though.

[endabob1]

Watch out in Caracas, a friend of mine has just come back from a year out there, apaprently it's a scarey place, no going out after dark......
Apart from that apaprently parts of Venezuela are stunning & it's very cheap

[DmanDmythDledge]

I reckon Uruguay are a good outside chance of winning this, but it's still hard to look past Brazil and Argentina even without the strongest side.

[Metrostars]

I think Argentina will win it, they have their full side while a lot of the well known players are missing for Brazil.

[shedite]

Anyone wathcing this? I know the teams aren't the most glamorous, but the football being played is savage. Really enjoyable to watch. Brazil beaten 2-0 by Mexico last night. And Chile twice equalised before beating Equador 3-2

[mypost]

Brazil will win it as usual. :rolleyes:

[Risteard]

Dman, Uruguay are awful and mypost, Brazil don't look great and have only won the Copa America 7 out of 41 times so while they've dominated the past 4 years, it's hardly the usual occurence.

Great shot of Maradona, Hugo and Evo in one of the papers this morning.

Where is it on next time out - I'd love to go if it were on at this time of year again.

Pass, Evo, pass. (http://www.informativos.telecinco.es/imgsed/trio_070627.jpg)
They made up the political dignitaries in their tracksuits.
It was very funny.
Referee was ready to go but Morales and Chavez were doing solos and shooting from the kick-off spot.

By "making my way" I take it you mean flying?

Hee hee! West Ham to win the UEFA, Uruguay to win the Copa, Henman to do well at Wimbledon!

Don't ever bet on UCD winning anything.

[FarmHoop]

Tiger Tims Out, Burn Down Henman Hill!

Go on the peru.I think we have a good chance of at least reaching the semis but knowing us well very hard work of it.We have as good as squad as ny team exept for the ovious two.
What other country has a better squad that peru? all we need know is to play well and win and win matches and do well in the copa America and more impotantly qualify for the WC.

[Risteard]

Anyone Up Till 4 Watchin This?
Aye, never really worked that hard. Looking forward to seeing them against Brasil and Mexico though Paraguay may give them a match.

Tiger Tims Out, Burn Down Henman Hill!
Its Murray Mount now apparently.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Brazil through to the final after beating Uruguay on penalties. Mexico playing Argentina in the other semi tonight. Argentina to be champions.

[FarmHoop]

Poor game arg-mex so far

[FarmHoop]

He took it beautifully alright, but the Mexican defence was disgraceful. Look how much room he has just prior to getting the ball.

[Risteard]

He's fair good at the old football.
Argentina evens to win the final in 90 minutes.
Might throw big money on that.

[mypost]

Brazil will win it as usual.

Brazil did win it as usual. :D

[NeilMcD]

Argentina were terrible last night. Dunga got the tactic spot on.

[Lionel Ritchie]

All three goals were great. Even the OG was just down to great pressure from the Brazillians

[Dodge]

Riquelme bottled it again.

[strangeirish]

Here are the highlights of the final. Rocket for the first goal.

[Risteard]

Argentina were much the better team.
Never seen a team win 3-0 playing like that, although the third goal was class.
"speechless.
Can't believe it.
I can't believe we lost that game."

[shakermaker1982]

Riquelme bottled it again.

A shame but every time he has the big stage at his feet he bottles it.
