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 ?

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.

I don't remember any time Uruguay had the measure of Brazil (except for the 1950 thing !).
Capable of offering some resistance yes.
Are they so good now so as to threathen Brazil and Argentine ?
Colombia are good -I saw them- but Uruguay ?

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. 🤷‍♂️

The first game of the tournament we had Argentina on the ropes but couldn’t finish at all same problem we had yesterday. As we know when you are a team of lesser quality you have to take your chances as a better has all the ability to pull something out of nothing

I think Uruguay is slightly better than Colombia. But this is the worst Brazilian side maybe ever. Ronaldinho also said the same thing and he won't bother watch them.

Quality in football is the finishing tho.

hope for a good match but need to play a very different game from the Venezuela match.

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.

Endrik will get his first start apparently.

Colombia already finished the job. 

James Rodriguez 1g 4a. MVP of the tournament so far.

Thank god we didnt get 2nd in the group and have to deal with this.

 

Panama might have saved Berhalter's job. I still think we should only participate in our gold cup though. Panama gains nothing from this beatdown.

I feel much of it is down to format: the small pitch + the no extra time just helps the defensive approach too much.

the red was well-deserved tho—vicious tackle straight for rodrygo ankle.

can see quality in endrik but he’s still super green. He does not know how to position himself yet.
