Copa America 2024 - Argentina Win

Did he even play much? I remember about as much of his game time as I do of Ritchie de-laet and that random full back we signed who scored a Messi-esque goal vs Wigan, dribbling past like 4 players and then never played again.

That was a weird tournament. It almost got moved at the last minute, a couple teams including Argentina pulled out, and CONMEBOL had to scramble to get replacements including Honduras. Definitely not the norm.

Yes. Honduras was picked up and flown in on something like the day of their first match.

Then beat Brazil and took 3rd
 
I routinely watch Honduras play over the past few decades, (to be fair might not be in the Copa America but a lot of their games were against South American teams so my memory might not be serving well)

But it's fecking remarkable how over two decades their playstyle has been permanently a cross between Alladyce Bolton Wanderers and Mark Hughes Stoke City.
 
Looking at those teams there’s no favorite I’ll want to play. Brazil doesn’t create but got individual talent, Uruguay are extremely wasteful but doesn’t let the other team play. I think we can beat either of them, but had to play it carefully.

Ah, Buttner :lol:

He didn't play that much, no. Had a mini run in the team during van Gaal's second and final season, and I just loved watching him. Also the few times I saw him for our youth team, too.

Thank you! I’m really hopeful we can get to the final and even win the whole thing.

Falcao here is a legend, the best Colombian player ever together with James, even surpassing greats such as Valderrama and Asprilla. He recently joined Colombian side Millinarios (his boyhood club) for six months, the father of one of my best friends for school is one of the owners of Millonarios, so I hope I can get a pic with the man himself.

That would be awesome, dude!

I knew Falcao was rated as a great for you but I didn't know he was THE great. I always loved him, too, and was gutted that it didn't work out here for him.
 
Why the feck did Militão take the first pen? Do we not prepare for this shit?
 
The fact that Andreas Pereira gets game time for Brazil shows how far they have fallen at the NT level
 
Hahahaha what a twat - stares down goalkeeper like its a boxing staredown only to hit the post
