Messi always seems so miserable when he's playing for his country.

 

Argentina continue to be unimpressive after opening Copa with a 0-2 loss to Colombia. 

 

Still left Dybala on the bench and Icardi at home.

I would be miserable if I had that squad to play around and have to carry. He’s one of the best players ever seen, but if the other 10 on the field can’t even support him, then this will keep happening. 

 

Argentina don’t have a good starting 11 let alone a good squad. No wonder he retired from international football. Argentina just expect him to work miracles and make money from glorified friendlies.

Totti leaves AS Roma after 30 years due to a "lack of respect" on the club's side.

Just seen that Qatar are also participating - half of their team are imports.

[spacemunky]

I'm pulling for Japan in this one. Always been my favourite country from the Americas.

[spacemunky]

Shinji on!

[spacemunky]

Shinji has been on for 3 minutes and in that time Chile have scored twice

Must suck for Ederson. You're the starting keeper for Manchester City, but you're 2nd choice for your country.

Tough one for us(Canada) tonight vs Mexico in the Gold Cup. 

 

3-1 to them and that's not a huge surprise. I feel like we are making strides as a country.

 

Bit frustrating always playing the CONCACAF teams, since it's not always the "beautiful" game

Watch us lose to Cuba. Lol

 

Canadian football is tough to watch at times and you never know what to expect (which is sad given we have so much talent out there).  

 

Must say i hate concacaf with a passion, dirty teams, shitty refs.

How's the new league going?

Well, based on the topic created here and how it's fallen, about sums it up.

 

They televised the first match here and hasn't been one on since then.

 

I haven't been to a match, so I don't know how the attendance is. I hope it's good as my local team is doing well. 

 

At least I check the scores and the standings!

 

Edit: Looked up the attendance and it ranges from about 4 to 7K.

No place between Mexico and Brazil should be allowed to call it “futbol”.  “Shithouse” (casa-de-mierda?) would be truth in labeling.

Shinji starting against Uruguay

[Nalis]

Its still amazing how some commentators question the difficulties South American players will have in adjusting to the physical nature of Premier League football when South American football is hatchery at its finest.

Real Mallorca up for the first time since 2013 with back to back promotions from the Segunda B. They were 2-0 down from the first leg against Depor and won 3-2...absolute scenes.

[spacemunky]

Canada 7 Cuba 0

 

2026 WC we're coming for yous!

[KingsX]

Guyana just concluded their first tournament appearance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and managed three goals. 

Neil Danns bagged all three -- two here in Cleveland v Panama Saturday, another tonight v Trinidad and Tobago.
