Round ball code talk

There is nothing like football fans at world nations tournaments.

Stiff shit, Uruguay - knocked out Brasil in the quarters, but lost the semi to Colombia today, despite Colombia playing one short for the whole second half. Argentina v Colombia in the final.

Got to love the Scots

 

[GremioPower]

Interesting - no extra time, straight to penalties?

South American style.

This guy is brilliant. Loved his stuff at 2022 WC. Did these the other day before the game between England and Holland

Hopefully only futbol related rioting - it's being played in Florida...

Argentina are the anti-Port, to beat them in a final you have to kill them.

Got the elusive threepeat of consecutive major tournaments: Copa America (2021), World cup (2022), Copa America (2024). Only Spain 2008-2012 has achieved that. And for Argentina, the Finalissima vs Italy in 2022 too.

Now for another one vs Spain in 2025!

How the mighty have fallen. Sad to see.

Nothing new really. Until 1995, Brazil would only win home Copa America.

There was a brief period of Brazilian dominance: 1997-2007 (5 editions, 4 titles). Then, it went back to what it was.

 

[GremioPower]

Extra time in the final though.

Which is a travesty, just as the single-game Copa Libertadores GF.

The AFL House has a lot of similarities with Conmebol. It made easier for me to understand it.

COLOMBI-AN KENOBI HAS FAILED ME!!

Weak? At least I gave you some respect. But you must be hurting, so I forgive you.

Conmebol doesn't know how to organize anything.

It's run by pathetic greedy incompetent cowards.

When FIFA runs stuff, it runs smoothly. When Conmebol does it, it's a ridiculous mess.

What have you won from 1995 to 2019?

I was 12 in 1993. I was 40 in 2021.

Just to remember everyone that UEFA can fail too:

You seem to care too much about Argentina and no so much about your own Seleção. Starting to sound like #119 crows supporters.

That’s Brazilians in a nutshell. Why would we care about a team that doesn’t care about its supporters?

Nothing at CBF works. Nothing. Even the league is awful. Even the kits are bad. Even the logo has gotten worse. The last school of coaches we had was from 30 years ago.

No problem is really addressed. Everyone either pretends its all fine or that any cosmetic change will resolve everything. It’s nauseating.

The fun comes in rooting against the rivals. Because it won’t come from rooting in favor of that shadow of a caricature of a football team.
