robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 5, 2024 Share Posted July 5, 2024 (edited) Ener Valencia is known for his misses like against Fluminense in the last Libertadores. He's a strong player for the Brazilian league, but his lack of composure limited him as a player. Enzo was shocking every time he was near the opposition goal; I am getting worried about him. Caicedo did indeed have a strong game; his mobility caused a lot of problems to argentina in midfield.

Fernando 6,585 Posted July 5, 2024 Share Posted July 5, 2024 Ecuador played good and we have the best player in Caicedo. Although if we can't get a good defender I don't mind Hincapié. Miles better then Disasi and Badishille robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted July 5, 2024 Share Posted July 5, 2024 Both Messi and Ronaldo are liabilities for their teams. 19 minutes ago, robsblubot said: Enzo was shocking every time he was near the opposition goal; I am getting worried about him. Not a surprise we got run of wins after he was dropped in the end of the season. Plus now KDH and Lavia coming... If he continues this way I don't see a place for him in starting 11.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted July 5, 2024 Share Posted July 5, 2024 I hope they dont bring Copa America back to the US after this. It isnt fun for fans, and the prices are ridiculous. It cost something like 200 bucks to even get into the game down here in Atlanta, where we lost to Panama, and that isnt realistic for this competition. Our nations cant compete at this level, and all it does is leave a sour taste in people mouth. Our national team is moving in a great way, and a bad loss against Panama doesnt change that. We dont need to be going up against Uruguay. Gold cup only please. Also who are they kidding with these prices: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONCACAF proved they are worthy. Canada and Panama progressed. USA got eliminated surprisingly but also from CONCACAF team. Mexico won 4 points and was short because of goal difference. Costa Rica as well won 4 points and draw Brazil. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeking a point against a big team that holds possession? That doesnt help us when most teams in our region cant(and wont) play like that. Charging Americans and Mexicans 200+ for nosebleed seats for these type of games does nothing to grow the game in this country or for the team. We can struggle against Panama in our gold cup, we dont need CONMEBOL cash grabbing us for that. Costa Rica and Mexico looked like dog shit out there tbh. It was, for the grace of god, Brazil didnt score against CR too. Canada was a punching bag too, but get some pull for being in a punching bag group with the world cup winners.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 6, 2024 Share Posted July 6, 2024 Congrats indeed! they will have to tighten up a lot to even contain Argentina tho. It could get ugly if they play like today... Venezuela was counter-attacking while Canada were one up. 🤷♂️ bluesman2610 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted July 6, 2024 Share Posted July 6, 2024 The presence of the short one is a handicap for Argentine - they should ditch him. The other one Uruguay v. Brazil why is it considered a derby match ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious? 7 times World Champions together. 2 of the 3 best South American teams pretty much all the time. Uruguay is now biggest threat to Argentina for a trophy.

Are they so good now so as to threathen Brazil and Argentine ? Colombia are good -I saw them- but Uruguay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the worst Brazilian side maybe ever. Ronaldinho also said the same thing and he won't bother watch them.

It is devoid of skillful players, but it’s still a strong team—suffice to see where each player plays. the teamwork is nonexistent tho. It’s like the 4th official game of this coach, and the previous attempted a Pep like thing that failed miserably.
