Copa America 2019

Since there hasn’t been a thread on this yet: Tomorrow should have an epic semifinal of Brazil vs. Argentina. The other semifinal is Chile vs. Peru. You’ve got to figure that Messi and Co. would love nothing more to beat Brazil and Chile, but they must surely dread the idea of losing a final to Chile in the Copa America for the 3rd time in a row, especially if it’s a PK shootout.

Argentina hasn’t looked good in years and this is a very strong Brazil on paper, I’ll be very surprised if Brazil doesn’t win.

Argentina losing to Chile on pks in the final would be crazy, but there’s no Higuain to miss a sitter and really complete the circle.

Double post

Our (Argentina’s) Coach has never managed a team in his life :smack:
Messi never played worse for Argentina.
So I think the ironic futbol gods will probably give us the Cup this time :smiley:

Men against boys so far. Absolutely no way Argentina win this.

Well, Argentina has tightened up quite a bit. Might have gotten a little excited just after the goal.

Saddddddd.

Cool post bro.

Hopefully Chile beat Peru and give Brazil a game in the final.

The futbol gods decided not to be ironic this time, oh well, next time may be we can use a real coach.

Go Peru, only hope now.

Peru on a real roll. But Brazil are at home. I’m going out on a limb here and predicting Brazil win. :smiley:

This third place match is nuts. 2-0 Argentina with Aguero/Messi catching Chile napping and then a great Dybala goal. Then a double red card, which seems like a crazy overreaction to me.

Chile should have 2 straight reds for studs up tackles not including the phantom send offs earlier. At least one of these teams is going to end with 9.

As with many of your predictions, no, didn’t happen.

Argentina will have taken at least some satisfaction out of beating their cross-Andes rivals.

:rolleyes:

Sad, Messi virtually guaranteed to never win an international title

In terms of quality of play and excitement, this tournament compares poorly with the Womens World Cup. South American footie hasnt evolved. Its time for there to be a singlem16 team Copa de los Americas.

Definitely less than 50%, but there’s another Copa America next year and Argentina will play their games in Argentina. I wouldn’t write him off just yet.

Four Copa Americas in a span of five years. You couldn’t get more shots at an international title than that.
