This Argentine team is dire

incredibly poor. Paraguay should have had another one too.

[Statto Red]

And they are going to do it again next year!

Next year will be the 4th edition in 5 years which is ridiculous, ticket prices are an issue too

[newterp]

Argentine goalkeeper could have seen red on a wild kick that missed and smashed the player.

[kavah]

2nd half should be interesting

Happened near the centre circle!

1-0 to Paraguay at half-time.

[Suareznumber7]

Argentina is just absolutely awful.

Tremendous surging run from Miggy...

[kavah]

I’ve got no idea why that’s a pen

[unknownuser]

Really hope VAR doesn't slow down games like this in the league next year 

[oojason]

Erm... eventually VAR and the ref give an penalty for handball to Argentina (looked like the incoming shot was very close to the defender - yet may have deflected from his thigh and then onto his hand?)

Only took 5 minutes to get there... Paraguayan defender given a yellow card for it too.

Otamendi is terrible.

Penalty to Paraguay

[unknownuser]

Otamendi is brainless.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Even worse penalty

Otamendi who gave the penalty away - tackle from behind - no card given.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

How the fuck is Otamendi is still on the pitch? That's a red card offense again

[Boaty McBoatface]

Otamendi hacks down Almiron. How is he still on the pitch?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Otamendi hacks down Almiron. How is he still on the pitch?

Must be the third time he's done this

[Boaty McBoatface]

The man city pass must include internationals.

[oojason]

Argentina 1-1 Paraguay; full-time.

Argentina stay in 4th place, despite pulling level on points with Qatar. Qatar stay 3rd as they've scored more goals than Argentina.

Copa América tickets cost too much but the gap between fans and the Seleçăo has been growing for some time

He was giving the ref a hard time for giving the penalty!!  Speechless.

[Statto Red]

Colombia have won the group, Paraguay need to win the last group match against Colombia to go through[a draw might be enough if Argentina v Qatar ends in a draw], which will knock Argentina out.

And they are going to do it again next year!

Instead of having two years in a row, they should have skipped this year and started the new cycle next year (or skipped next year and have a five year gap).

Federations don't make money skipping years and having no tournament.

Hello Japan u23 1-0 up v Uruguay 😂

Inviting Mexico and the United States would make a whole lot more sense for a Copa América than... Japan? 

[rushyman]

Farcical VAR pen

Fuck this

[oojason]

Inviting Mexico and the United States would make a whole lot more sense for a Copa América than... Japan? 

They're playing in their Gold Cup instead mate.

[rushyman]

That’s never ever been a penalty in the history of this sport

He’s kicked his foot

[oojason]

Did Cavani just kick the studs of the Japan defender's boot and get a penalty for it? and VAR gave it?

Well well, then Suriname and Guiana could step in since they're actually South Americans and definitely didn't qualify for the Gold Cup 

[afc tukrish]

Inviting Mexico and the United States would make a whole lot more sense for a Copa América than... Japan? 

Large Japanese-Brazilian population also possibly a factor...

[rushyman]

Yellow card for that pen aswell

For jumping in the way and being kicked

Comical. This can’t possibly go on the games ruined

[rushyman]

Inviting Mexico and the United States would make a whole lot more sense for a Copa América than... Japan? 

They’ve been playing in it for 30 years

But gold cup time to play Mozambique so they can have a chance of winning something

[oojason]

Well well, then Suriname and Guiana could step in since they're actually South Americans and definitely didn't qualify for the Gold Cup 

Guyana did 'qualify' - they play in the Gold Cup too mate. - They, Surinam and French Guyana consider themselves more Central American than South American; and have played in the CONCACAF competitions for years. IIRC, Surinam is one of the founding members of CONCACAF.

Brazil, where it's hosted, is the largest population of Japanese outside of Japan. Qatar on the other hand..

See the Surinam XI in the Gini thread?  They’d give it a go I reckon - although Gullit and Rijkard are getting on a bit
