Bad opener for the US, they should have got a tailored draw à la Platini for France 

These are not glorious times for our MNT.

No own goal and mafia hit for Colombia this time. I suppose the Yanks could blame Obama or Trump though. 

Oh come on! We have played them many times since then.

They heard you! Victory 4-0 vs Costa Rica.

Colombia is presently leading 2-0 vs Paraguay in the other night game.

More Copa América

Another 7-1 with Brazil involved. This time vs Haiti. 

Peru 2 Ecuador 2

Ecuador plays last againt Haiti so Peru is in trouble I'd say.

Another 7-1 with Brazil involved. This time vs Haiti. 

I thought you meant a Haiti win.

The biggest Danish defensive talent in recent decades is announcing his retirement at only 31. Agger had a promising career ahead of him and did have some amazing games in his years, but unfortunately it turned out that his body was made of glass.

Mission accomplished with a misleading formulation!

Copa América

Uruguay out! First upset of the tournament. No vampire in their squad sucked of lifeforce for Cavani (PSG player) was uninspired. Lost to Venezuela 0-1

In the other game, Mexico 2 Jamaica 0. So more noisy Mexican football fans for Valmy.

My cousin is a ref in the Copa. I thought about trucking in a bunch of Texas flags to see if the Chilean fans would buy them but decided against it.

So bummed we bailed them out in 2014. Anyway USA is going for its traditional 1-1-1 group stage result. It will be enough provided Colombia can handle Costa Rica.

So nice how we can host a major FIFA event and hardly blink while Brazil is still reeling from the trauma of hosting the WC. Or hell look what poor France is enduring right now.

BTW wow does Canada suck. Not getting in this event where we took the top six CONCACAF is a new low.

Spanish international players De Gea, Isco and Muniain allegedly being investigated for sexual abuse in 2012, according to a police leak in the Spanish press.

Copa América

Chile 2 Bolivia 1

Bolivia out. Victory goal on a not-so clear penalty in the extra time 90 + 8 ! Bolivia had a chance to equalise before the end though (90 + 10)

Argentina 5 Panama 0

Messi wakes up and Argentina is qualified for quarters. 3 goals for Messi against weak opposition. Di Maria out due to injury though.

On to the knock out round!

On to the knock out round!

  Likely against Brazil...

Not so fast PeeDee, Costa Rica upset Colombia so USA finished first and likely will get Ecuador.

See, my pessimism paid off.
