Copa America Other Matches + Group A


Recommended Posts

These mess-ups with crowds, ticketing, pitches, will be good for 2026. They are what organizers need to wake up and respond properly to the demands of the event. In Toronto and Vancouver too. Either it happens now or you can risk it happening then. 

All events have their challenges and you have to go that extra mile to ensure you're not embarrassed.

I wrote a report on the Vancouver Olympics for the sports department of the City of Barcelona and you have multiple narratives happening, some controllable, others planning, some out of your hands. But Vancouver actually turned them all around, except that death of an athlete in practice runs, and ended a success. This Copa has responded poorly and, as I write, has still not turned certain things around at all.

Perfect powder keg scenario with aggressive drunk people who don't have tickets and haven't been searched for weapons and can't be tracked packed in here. UEFA and FIFA are corrupt and greedy as hell but CONMEBOL adds sheer incompetence.

i have a sense those rushing hte gates DID have tickets.  i kinda get the feel it was typical rent-a-cop security incompetence + overzealous fans impatience + fear of missing kick-off which caused this.  many times at concerts even here in NA, this type of incompetence is routine.

Random question for you guys, but has Canada been invited for the 2028 copa america? Did I miss this? 

If you look at the teams on wiki (I know) for it rn it shows us and south Korea as invited

1 minute extra time lol. Also ref calls a foul on Colombia and stops play with Argentina ready to go down the field on the advantage with 15s left on the clock, then just takes the ball and whistles half time lol.

yeah, this ticks me off too.  the refs doing this kinda stuff is pure gsrbage.  another thing ive noticed is that refs more or less stick to whatever the board says, even if there is more time wasting during injury time.

Considering the shenanigans with the entry/security here, it seems approprate that Michael Buffer is here to introduce the halftime show...

...and why is there a halftime show for this?

yeah, this is stupid.   i mean i like shakira, and i recognise the need to commercialise everything, but put her on before the anthems to open the match or something.   this lengthy super bowl halftime show bs is not football.
