El Gran Centenario De La Copa América: The Official Copa América Tournament Discussion Thread

[Xerces]

@ the ref asking Chicharito to calm the mexican fans down

Argentina legend Diego Maradona has said that the Albiceleste should win Sunday's Copa America Centenario final against Chile in New Jersey, but warned his compatriots that if they lose they should not return home.

Argentina advanced to the tournament decider with a 4-0 victory over the United States as Lionel Messi became the nation's all-time leading scorer. Messi has now scored more goals for Argentina (38) as captain than Maradona (34) did in his entire Argentina career.

Argentina are out to clinch their first continental title since 1993, this time in a rematch against the same side that beat them on penalties in last year's final.

Maradona, who led the Argentines to World Cup glory in 1986, told C5N on Wednesday: "Of course I think we'll win."

But he also issued a warning to Tata Martino's men: "But if you don't win, don't come back."

Howard is gonna start tomorrow

Wonder if it's his final game playing for the National team?


Just saw that Fox Sports or regular Fox aren't showing the game today live. How are you going to get the broadcasting rights for a major tournament and then not show the game live? You got 2 years to get things figured out before the WC Fox.

I know Univision > Fox, but it's the principle.

Oh word. I missed that.

I still stand by everything I said. Pay 15 million just to play your sporting events on your drama and comedy channel brehs.

Brehs, wasn't Gus Johnson going to be the voice of the 2018 WC? Why isn't he broadcasting these games as "training"?

I would like to thank those who participated and contributed to this thread. I will be blessing folks with rep since it has finally returned. Special thanks to posters like @THEREALBRAND for basically carrying the thread while I was working. This was a good thread, but it could have been so much better if I could have posted everything I wanted to post every single day. Unfortunately, I have obligations, such as work, that is a little more important. (Because if I could, I would say fukk work and watch soccer and post all damn day!)

He was. Maybe they scratched that idea.

Between this and the Euro's my desk job has been real appealing the last few weeks. The soccer gods blessed us this summer.

He stepped down

Nineteen months after the announcement that Gus Johnson would become Fox Sports' voice of soccer and of the 2018 World Cup, and 29 months after his immersive training began, the grand experiment is over. Both Johnson and Fox Sports tell SI's Richard Deitsch that Johnson has stepped down from the role.

That euro thread popping brehs what's going on in here

I believe that we will lose
