Match Thread: Copa America Group A - Matchday 1 - Argentina v Canada - June 20, 2024 - 8pm local time (ET) / 5pm PT

As least we went three halves without conceding against the number 1 and number 2 teams in the world.

[Hawkguy]

Way too many players just standing around. Needed to bring strong on them to start, we knew they were going to come out strong. Disappointing.

Turkey - Georgia was great! 

Didn't see it (plain ignoring the Argentina goal and talking about anything else).

[bwilly11]

We are pretty awesome at first 45's now though 

[jonovision]

How has Scaloni not got a yellow yet? He hasn't been inside the technical area all game?

crepeau is sometimes too wild coming out...team almost paid for it twice in the first half...will end up paying with a goal or penalty at some point (not necessarily this game)

unfortunately it happens right out of the half...easy to see it coming with how he comes out

[Free kick]

I dont know that i can blame anyone on the goal...... Other than Messi

Yeah right...should have stayed on his line so they could just pass it into the net...

[DeRo_Is_King]

This is why it's important to finish your chances, especially against a top team.

I think we'll break a trend and score. 

Cornelius maybe.

[Floortom]

Eustaqiuo’s touch is a nightmare. What is going on with him and kone

[jonovision]

This turf is atrocious. 

[kacbru]

Davies, yikes.  Good recovery by Alistair.

Real grass on fake grass sucks

[jonovision]

Shaffelburg? WTF?

[vancanman]

I see they get to keep their corners.

[Free kick]

I dont like that sub

[narduch]

Shaffelburg for Buchanan 

[DeRo_Is_King]

Shaf for Buchanan. 

[Unnamed Trialist]

Messi didn't go down when he could have.

We need to weather this and find a way to draw and hang on for our lives.

Shaff for Tajon. I'm fine with it, only he'll play hero ball and won't defend at all. 

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Just a difference in quality unfortunately. When we push, they can handle it. But when they push, we struggle, passes are sloppy and rushed. 

To be expected against one of (if not the) best teams in the world. 

[InglewoodJack]

Alright Shaffenburg 

[narduch]

Shaffelburg on the right?
