I'm still sticking with Colombia. Solid draw for them. The Argentine defence is still TURRIBLE! My goodness, I don't know if Romero was that good or the Colombian strikers were that bad. Should have been a penalty for Colombia in the 1st half.
Really, I'm kind of in disbelief. They're playing so poorly right now, I don't understand. However, could it be because they have too many players out of position? They have a lot of guys that are used to attacking and now they're stuck in the middle and look out of sorts. Messi is looking like his usual Argentina form, which is only going to give fuel to the fire for him on an international level. That last free kick he took was awful.
I think playing the advantage was the right call. It's not the refs fault that Moreno couldn't score on an open net.
Did I say anything about your team? No. Was I speaking to you in any way, shape, or form? No. Did 5 players get suspended for failing a drug test...only to be followed by by having 8 sent home for having prostitutes in their rooms? Oh yeah! Man, you mexican fans are awfully sensitive lately. Talk s*** about how the US team has played. If you look at my posts, you'll see I haven't exactly been proud of it. You won't hurt my feelings...certainly not nearly as much as you guys have been butt hurt about a few jokes for things that actually happened.
Wow, and some thought it was Maradona's fault. These guys have the same mentality as France, great club-players but all want to shine on international level and therefore have absolutely no chemistry. Broken team, should re-evalute the whole squad and build a working squad. Let's see how Brazil does, have hopes on them playing better the next games.

Anyone see Mexico's U17 comeback against Germany where a bicycle like kick from a guy with a massive gash in his head won the game. Not to mention the AMAZING corner kick that bent into the net.....wow, Mexico has some good young talent coming up.... DAMN IT ! DD
Lol the US will never win in soccer unless the stigma of it being a pansy sport goes away. That automatically pushes the most athletic and gifted kids to basketball and football
Please don't rehash the "Best athletes don't play soccer" argument. It's been had too often here and everybody has had the chance to make their points. This thread is about Copa America.
Then again, I probably shouldn't read too much into this, as this isn't the Mexico A-squad. Most of these guys could be a part of the A-squad in 3 years' time, though.
It's not over, El Tri needs to beat Uruguay and get the best 3rd place record to advance the quarterfinals.
Can't believe there is no Women's WC thread.....what a game by the USA..... Oh, and I can't start threads these days..so..... DD
I watched that whole match. An incredible screwjob by the refs, and an even more incredible comeback by the US. This cup has been great so far.
