[Copa America 2024] Argentina * okrika champions 1(Martinez) Colombia 0

Match delayed for 30 minutes. Then delayed a further 15 minutes. Chaos outside the stadium.

I'm seriously worried about the USA hosting the world cup, the signs aren't looking good.

They have hosted it before on their own. I don’t see why they can do it successfully again as co-hosts . With that said, today’s delay and some of the pitch are embarrassing. They are high school stadiums all over the US better than the Copa fields.

Good work by De Paul to stop Diaz in his tracks

CONMEBOL are in charge of this tournament, not US Soccer. As was mentioned before, CONMEBOL reduced the leasing time of the fields to pay as little as possible to the stadium owners and therefore make more profit from the tournament. That reduced leasing time meant less time to bring the pitches up to proper standard, among other consequences.

It is weird that Colombia has to be clued in on why you must always go for the kill if you ever have Argentina by the jugular.

Germany are the only team that know how to regularly deal with Argentina. Honorable mention to Uruguay. I don't trust anyone else against them, not even Brazil. To be fair to Colombia, Argentina are not easy to score against.

Trudat. And Martinez gives them that final layer to give an aura of impermeability.

Thanks for the info. I see CONMEBOL is trying to makeup for the participation and winning prize money which is the largest ever.
