    The organizers of COPA most certainly do.  Plenty of evidence and testimonials to back it up.

    Make it the Copa of the Americas.  10/6.
    And if they didn't like the coaches continually pointing out the numerous deficiencies of their amateur hour tournament, then they should step their game up.

    I am fine with them all automatically qualifying. It's their tournament. We are guests.

    First time really watching the Copa America.  Way more dirty and thuggish than I realized it would be, though moments of skill managed to shine through.  Dodgy officiating so egregious it was maddening.  Seemed to be completely disorganized at times, even while being held in a country that's actually pretty great at hosting major sporting events.
    Anyway, it was a lot of fun.  Packed bars, a national spotlight on the team, some moments none of us will forget.  Let's do it all again in 4 years.  Make it happen Vic.

    I was critical of the hire but he has done well. Most impressively is his willingness to be practical. I think being outside the Red Bull system (and yes I am aware Leeds was outside that family) helps him be more free with his philosophies. I think he learned quickly how to navigate international/tournament football.
    I think there is still lots of data for him to collect. The two red cards from Peru and Chile were great from a results stand point, but didn't help us learn much. I think the Uruguay match where we dropped Larin maybe (hopefully) sparks something for Marsch.
    Overall I am very optimistic because I believe Marsch is willing to change and adapt. There is still a lot of naivety in the way we play but it is more controlled now, even though he's only had eight matches under his belt. I always try to remember that Herdman was given lots of time and he changed his shapes and philosophies quite a bit.
    I am not sold on Davies as a regular old full back, I think we can easily slot him in on either wing over Shaffelburg/Millar/whoever and play Laryea/Adekugbe at LB and we'd be way better. Shaff obviously had impressive moments but I really don't think he'll be a consistent answer. I will be curious to see what happens with Davies going forward, right now Marsch seems very happy with how he has been incorporated.

    Canada found their GK
    Bombito and Cornelius solidified the back end
    Kone stepped up his game 
    Shaf became a starter 
    We added depth all over the field
    $8M added to the coffers 
    Coach was dropped in two months ago and got these players to gel and play better each game
    We played Holland France Argentina twice Chile Peru Venezuela and Uruguay

    His penalty in the shootout...I still can't get over why he would stutter step like that. The goalkeeper will easily be able to figure out what way he would go by him doing that. He should have went for power.

    Right?
    Marsch and others have raised the point that players need to experience being on the anvil to know how to be deal with being on that anvil.  And he did. 
    For the rest of his career, may it be long and prosperous, he'll bring with him the experience of having played his way onto the bench at the Copa Americas and then responded strongly enough to play his way back into the starting 11 and earning MoTM honours in his team's finale. 
    And all that, in the space of 5 matches?  
    That's how Lions are fashioned.

    A roller coaster of a tournament for him. Awful group stage resulting in him not starting the Chile and Venezuela games, then the transfer gets settled, he comes on and scores his pen against Venezuela and shows a new level for the next 2 games.
