Copa America 2011

[schmuckdonald]

Reasonable list of squads here: http://en.wikipedia....3%A9rica_squads

 

Pretty excited for it to get started. Anyone got any particular teams/players they're keeping an eye on?

 

Excited to see Chile, even now they're Bielsa-less. Always want to see Uruguay, and interested in how Colombia get on as well.

 

Argentina should walk it, and then I think they surpass Uruguay 15-14.

I think the new look Brazil team will be interesting to watch

 

shame Japan pulled out of this one, as they might have provided better competition than the Mexican under 10 team

[doug_mac]

is the tournament on the telly?

[Epic Swindle]

ESPN. First game is on at stupid oclock but I think I'll be watching most of the games.

It's going to be between Suarez and Lucas.

[_00_deathscar]

Who is Brazil captain?

[Stevie H]

lucio isn't it?

[schmuckdonald]

think it is Lucio, could be wrong, mind.

 

Sanchez v Neymar v Cavani v Messi

[Superjay]

Stayed up to watch it but only on espn. Bulls**t

[Zoob]

Argentina 1 Bolivia 1. Some Traore-esque defending on the line from Banega (think it was him) lead to Bolivia taking the lead, but Aguero equalised with a brilliant finish 15 mins from time.

Leaving Lavezzi on for that long was mad. He was shocking.

Ah balls - I just assumed it was on Sky.

[schmuckdonald]

Don't know why the hell Batista changed the formation at half time. Really bad in the second half 'cause they couldn't get the ball forward along the ground. Thought Lavezzi was alright, did more than Tevez anyway.

 

Felt sorry for Banega, had a good game in the first half but really struggled after that.

Dirty barstad.

Now THAT is an article.

[Eiler99]

Neymar's hair...

[Epic Swindle]

Lucas getting forward a lot more.

[Epic Swindle]

Neymar is a horrible little get, could see him fitting in comfortably at Chelsea.

[schmuckdonald]

Brazil look to have the potential to be a bloody saucy side. Really love that Ganso kid. Think Ramires as DM could be found out, mind. Would like to see Thiago Silva there.

[Nebraska Red]

did I imagine it, or did I see Lucas take on 2 or 3 players with some smooth moves?

[Sion]

Brazil aren't looking very impressive so far. This is a poor Venezuela team as well.

[Gunga Din]

all the games so far have been s****.
