I agree.

I thought the goal was offside…

Here’s the thing though, I never won a game if my team didn’t score!

US Soccer deserves it. They had a chance to not rehire GGG and did anyway. Now they're in a position where they're stuck with him since either few want the job or anyone really good would break the bank. Why? Because they'd have to level up Emma Hayes' salary to the level of the new men's manager's thanks to a woke policy instituted several year ago.

Brazil v Columbia was a good game today.

1-1

Columbia in my opinion dominated the game and deserved to win the group.

I was impressed.

I'm so sick and tired of hearing our so-called experts saying time and time again that the US Team has the talent so it must be something else. You so-called experts should be able to tell us since you are so freaking smart.

Both semi-finals are set:

Spain v France
Netherlands v England

Argentina v Canada
Uruguay v Columbia

Portugal should have beaten France with all the talent they have but they never got off the bench since Penaldo seems to run that team - plays every minute and takes every free kick. There will be a revolt amongst the rest of the squad if he tries to hang on until the World Cup and Martinez lets him pull the same power play.

He should just play out his career in Saudi and retire.

Pepé should retire too. Question, IS he James Carville's lovechild?

I think Argentina will beat Canada.

Uruguay v Columbia is a toss up. Columbia is playing well.

I give Spain the edge over France.

England v Netherlands is another toss up in my mind.

We will see…

My friend who is married to a Colombian by birth soccer fanatic went to the Columbia v Brazil game at Levi stadium. Told me the tailgate party was off the hook.

Me and my fam were out to dinner last night at the local Mexican restaurant and they had the games on the big screen. Watched the France v Portugal game and shootouts. Sucked to play all that time to a 0-0 draw and have your goalie cough it up or the shooter bounce it off the goal post.

Spain v France game today @ noon pacific time.

Spain advances to the finals. 2-1

It was a perfect shot off the upper side post.

Argentina 2 Canada 0

I’m two for two in my predictions so far.

I think Columbia will beat Uruguay.

I'd say the star for Argentina today was their goalkeeper. He had some great saves.

After long periods of inactivity and the occasional clearance, Dibu remained focused and made two big saves to preserve the clean sheet.

OKAY the finals are set.

Spain v England

Argentina v Columbia

I picked the Columbia win.

England deserved the win.

Uruguay couldn't even draw with an extra man for an entire half.

Darwin Núñez had 5 shots. Two excellent chances he completely missed and the only one on frame was right at the goalie. Can Arne Slot somehow get him sorted out when he returns to LFC?

As for England, Southgate was bailed out by his late subs Ollie Watkins (winning goal) and Cole Palmer (the assist) but we neutrals will still question Gareth's starting lineups and substitution timing.

0-0

Not looking to troll but, if the DJT assassination attempt didn't happen, this would likely be top news nationally. What's the word amongst soccer fans about the Copa America-final and the issues around the entrances? Was this an issue at other venues or, Miami greatly underestimated the situation?

Copa America madness spilled beyond the gates inside stadium with escalator destroyed

quote:

The chaos at the Copa America final on Sunday did not stop at the gates.

Video and photos posted on X show an escalator at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens that was allegedly destroyed by fans, with shattered glass everywhere and the handrails collapsed at the bottom.

Geo Milian, a sports reporter in South Florida, posted photos of the scene, which he described as “barbaric and unacceptable!”
...

Yes my sons wanted to watch and when we turned it on at 9 pm for the start, they had delayed it due to thousands of people without tickets rushing in and then the people WITH tickets got stuck outside and had nowhere to go now that the gate crashers were in their seats.

A real shit show but we shouldn't be too surprised anymore to get Third World behavior here in our country after importing millions of Third World people in scot-free.

This is from a smartass sports blog I follow:

It is Obviously America's Fault that Fans Broke into Hard Rock Stadium and Crawled Through the Ventilation System

Canada, Mexico and the USA are hosting the largest World Cup ever (48 teams instead of the previous 32) in 2026. FIFA, the three national confederations and all 16 venues have to take a hard look at this and make sure measures are in place so nothing like this $#!tshow happens at ANY of the 104 matches in that tournament.
