Copa America

Post by 1989 »

Starting tonight. Anyone else watching?

Great tournament. Top players on show ie Messi, Tevez, Neymar, Robinho, Higuain, Alves, Sanchez, Suarez, Aguero, Forlan, Cavani, Falcao, etc.

Opening match today Argentina vs Bolivia.

Tipping Argentina to win it but Brazil are the reigning champions and clear favorites.

Do you reckon that during international breaks in the season Denilson thinks to himself 'How come i can get a game for Arsenal but can't get in the Brazil squad?'

I'd imagine he has a lot of time to think during these breaks whilst he's hitting shots into Almunia.

Vela was included in the mexican squad for the copa rather than the gold cup, which by all accounts was a surprise choice :?:

Argies off to a disappointing start. Game finished 1 - 1, Bolivia looked set to cause an upset till Aguero came on to rescue the day with a world class equalising goal.

Tonight's game: Colombia v Costa Rica (7:30 UK time).

Was in the preliminary squad then got excluded; I'm guessing for being too shit.

Hard to believe that athletico madrid are rumoured to be lining up rossi from villareal as a replacement for aguero - I know rossi is a great striker but figure being mention is 35m while aguero's fee's is being quoted at 32m and as good as rossi is he still aint in aguero's class

When I phoned to cancel Sky Sports for the summer they gave me a discount instead so we keep it but pay the same as if we'd cancelled and started again in September.

i got offered something slightly similar (they offered me £15 off for 3 months if i kept my sky packages as they are), but i've got sky sports, sky movies, espn and the HD pack and tbh the movies are a waste of time (just the same shite repeated over and over again and i've now got a lovefilm subscription which gets me a few films that i actually want), and I'm very unsure whether ESPN is worth keeping (only 1 PL game a week and since i go home and away watching sunderland, a live 17:30 Saturday game isnt much use since im normally away), so i just thought i'd be best getting the packages turned off for now so that when the new season starts i just need to put sky sports and the HD back on. They'll still get my money for the David Haye fight tonight mind!

Glad to see the Argies were held to a draw, didnt manage to see much of it before falling asleep but Bolivia looked a fairly competent side. Quite fancy Uruguay to win the tournament mind, look a very decent side at the minute
