Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!

Surely if you were the United States FA you'd be desperate to be involved in the Copa America, since outside the World Cup their schedule is a barren wasteland. I mean people even went apeshit over the Confederations Cup that one time.

The Gold Cup is next month which is more important. The u-20 WC is ongoing. There's no reason to do what Mexico is doing (send a terrible squad to Brazil to get embarassed and save their "good" squad for the gold cup.)

That being said go Colombia.

I don't know who told you people that the Gold Cup is more important than the CA. The Gold Cup is a joke, with no history (founded in 1991, cool) and that has the US and Mexico as it's best teams.

I bet they're sending the better MX team to the GC because the fans don't have to travel too far to watch the team play, and there is clearly more interest in team A than team B.

The Gold Cup is more important to the USA was my point. That should've been incredibly easy to ascertain based on the context of my post but I guess you're a big dumb idiot who wants to grandstand about history and prestige and all that garbage. I hope you get hit with an errant piss bag.

why are you so salty about your poo poo gold cup??

Because you're an idiot who can't read posts/ comprehend how teams would want to win their own fed's cup.

Ray Hudson is English and terrible. Worse than Taylor Twellman. I always enjoy when new people discover Hudson.

This match got really good

Turned it on about 10 minutes ago. Did Argentina decide to stop defending right then?

This is a fun game but chile is still bad if they struggle against the mexican garbagemen.

I was just about to type "they could win 4-2 and this would still be embarrassing" before that 3rd goal. Lol awful awful defense

Bacca red carded after the match. A couple of other cards doled out it looks like. Bunch of idiots.

Neymar headbutted Murillo I think then Baccas shoved Neymar's back.

Can someone explain the Neymar ban?

It was two games, then dropped to 1 and now it's up to 4?

He was on one game for two yellows, two were added for the headbutt, and he went into the tunnel and berated the ref as well (apparently it was even on camera). I don't know where the rumor of it dropping to one game came from

I don't understand how people don't understand prioritizing winning your own tournament over another one you get invited to on a whim. It's pretty loving simple.

Well one is a poo poo tournament with no competitive teams involved and the other is the oldest international football competition on the planet sooooo

One is their own fed's tournament one isn't. Mexico isn't guaranteed a permanent Copa America spot so there's literally no point in trying anyways. Mexico wants to win the "poo poo tournament" because what does it say about them if they don't/they actually have rivalries with the teams involved.

joepinetree posted:

Maybe if teams participated in actual competitive competittions instead of beating on island nations for 4 years mexico and the us would do better internationally. See also, australia.

The USA, Mexico, and Costa Rica did better than Italy Portugal England and Spain in the last tournament that mattered. Should Australia be begging to join the Copa? Should they just expand it until it eventually becomes an offbrand WC?

Colombia vs Argentina will be a intense game with two teams that are really bad at scoring but have solid defenses.

Colombia always plays top notch football against Argentina. They really hate them.

Could I get some tactical analysis for these games?
