Copa América 2024

Boo Jacob.

Giving in so easily to bullshit European soccer superiority syndrome.

Indeed!

It's actually kind of cool having both tournaments going on at the same time - yet with no games overlapping.  Some days there's near constant international soccer going on.

I'm looking at TSN's schedule for just today:

8:45am Slovakia v Ukraine
11:45am Poland v Austria
2:45pm Netherlands v France
7:45pm Peru v Chile

(there's also a CFL game in there - TSN does have more than one channel)

Isn't the hockey on today too?

Yeah - but on Sportsnet, not TSN.

So Uruguay and the U.S won, I believe.

No reactions?

Expected results.

[Valmy]

I totally missed Brazil tied Costa Rica. LOL.

Fear CONCACAF baby!

[Duque de Bragança]

So Brazil is that crappy, as rumored?

It was cool we beat Bolivia. Didn't watch it though, I had a busy Sunday.

So I hate to even mention it, but Canada is actually the betting favourite against Peru today...

[FunkMonk]

Yeah this iteration of Brazil is pretty unimpressive, but they actually made enough decent chances against Costa Rica to bury them. Equal parts poor finishing, bad luck, and CONCACAF-level officiating beat Brazil.

Bookies were right.

[Barrister]

So if I understand it right - a draw against Chile guarantees Canada to move on to the knockout stage.

I have to admit - that by itself should be considered a successful tournament for Canada.

Getting 3 points was a pretty good showing on its own, I think.

Yeah, but - if Canada could beat Peru - and Peru managed to tie Chile - why shouldn't we be able to pull off at least a draw against Chile?

[Jacob]

It's cool when Canada does well. Beating Peru is a very credible showing for the team
