Fun fact. Went on a ground tour of Villa Park in the mid 2000s when Juan Pablo Angel played for us and in those days there was an International board by the main entrance. Angel was listed under "Columbia" so spent five minutes arguing with the tour guide about it.
Think they got rid of the board when I went on the tour again a few years later so no idea if they changed it.great great game from Colombia.
Miami is not responsible for what happened yesterday, Conmebol is the organizer and the ones who pay for security, so after what happened with Uruguay they should add more police but they didn’t.
Argentina has a coach with big balls no problem in taking out Messi (67minute) and Ronaldo for Portugal playing the entire game plus the ET not doing anything.
And just like England the only time they won a trophy was in a home tournament, that was an absolute sham.
Uhh no, nothing to do with big balls. He was injured so was substituted. Messi came out at half time even when he was visibly walking with a bit of pain. He was only substituted when he was no longer able to play.
Edit :
I know a few coaches without big balls that would take off an injured player. Messi was unable to continue from what I read
When will you ever learn to use normal measurement units?84*F with 75% humidity
He's not what MU fans make him out to be?
That foot is disgusting. He should be ashamed of himself for not covering it up in public.
No one said that. That's in your head.
This "83% of the time" you mention considers old southamerican championships when they were often only 3 or 4 teams participating. If you only consider the period when everyone was participating and the tournament is actually called Copa América (from about 50 years ago) you have a similar amount of tournaments and winning dispersion than the Euros.
The fact that you're comparing bottom tier teams from CONMEBOL to average teams from UEFA is a testament to how poor your argument is. Average teams from CONMEBOL are Colombia, Chile and Paraguay, who go to one of every three World Cups and usually get to the second or third round there. None of the teams you mentioned has ever got to a WC 2nd round.
The 5th team from our qualifiers did beat New Zealand in the playoff match. Perhaps you're thinking of Australia, who did defeat Perú on penalties for the last WC spot. And then in the WC defeated Denmark (a Euro Cup Champions) fairly easily. For the record, that same Australia Lost to Chile and Perú at the two previous World Cups.
Nah, he has better players ahead of him right now. It's as simple as that. Players like Messi, Di Maria, Alvarez, Martinez.
Nico Gonzalez is not better than Garnacho from what I've seen in this tournament but seems to be preferred more because of his ability to win aerial duels, which is surprisingly very high.
They definitely are. No one can seriously think that Netherlands were anything but utter shite in this tournament.
You absolutely have one.
It was just a bit of wumming on my part. I didn't see enough Argentina games to truly have an educated opinion on Garnacho.
But I appreciate the input about why he's not been on the pitch.
Euro 2024 was real football?When Celsius beats us in a world war
make sure to hit up Dunleavy's Pub when leaving 21st ave coming off the beach......or Acme for a nice southern meal.
You know about Dunleavy’s!? Hell yeah!
Apologies for misspelling the name!
As for the rest of the responses to my comments: I expected fiery ones. Keep em coming
hell yeah...that was our spot every sunday for brunch before hitting the beach right there on 21st...that was the "secluded" end of Sullys Isle that really only the locals would go to most of the time
Just a little bit of sarcasm
It was dreadful crap. One of the worst tournaments I can remember.
Yeah man, that place is awesome. A little hidden jewel away from the beach front. The whole island is great, really. Been going to Sullivans since I was a little kid.
i lived on atlantic ave for a number of years so that was a favorite spot for all of us to hit up as we could basically walk to it and not worry about DUI's
had a g/f that lived on Marshall Blvd so spent most of my time there anyway
Will take that advice. Kid just moved down to Mt Pleasant doing a fellowship at MUSC so now we will hit as many sights as we can on vacations. Charleston is an amazing city too.
Crab cakes at Magnolias!
haha....yes, that is one of the hot spots for sureCrab cakes at Magnolias!
don't waste your time going over to Folly....stay in charleston or Mt Pleasant area, it's way better. Make sure you hit Shem Creek for the restaurants right on the water.
Did Garnacho get any minutes in the tournament?? Looked up last 3 games and he looks like he was an unused sub?
1 start in group stages, subbed at 66min.
Spain lost in the Confederations Cup in 2009 to USA, Argentina beat Italy in the 2022 Finalisma.
So if anything this Argentina side are a touch more successful than that Spain side.

Don't blame the Unglish.
Messi's ankle was swollen to the size of a grapefruit, I don't think that took any particular courage to sub him out.
Fantastic way to bow out for Messi, if this is the end
You could hardly script this better. Back to back Copas and the world cup.Di Maria officially retires today from international football having achieved everything as well. Under 20s world cup. Olympics. Copa (twice). World cup.
Beautiful!!
I'll remember it as the time I realised that Garnacho is actually Argentinian and not Uruguayan.
This again.. so stupid and racist as hell.. and singing this stupid racist song about french after beating comombia too.. such a shame
So the Argentina team are singing the racist song again. And of course, Enzo 'Not The Sharpest Tool In The Box' Fernandez posts it on social media. Classy bunch.....
We all know racists are all hopeless idiots, but the level of ignorance with this fecking Angola is impressive. France had a thousand colonies in Africa and yet you chose to sing about the one country they never controlled, I don't think there was even one relevant French player that had anything to do with Angola at all. If I want to insult someone I usually try to get my facts right, not look like a moron
