***official Copa America 2015 Thread***


Recommended Posts

Half of the teams in the tourney are coached by Argentinians.

Martino at Argentina, obviously. Sampioli is still coach of Chile. Pekerman is in charge of Colombia and there are at least a couple of others.

EDIT - Ricardo Gareca with Peru and El Diego's 'amigo,' Ramon Diaz at Paraguay.

You have to applaud the football on the deck philosophy when it involves a 5'7" ant in as the lynchpin in central defence.

Chile press so hard in the midfield that there is hardly a chance for Ecuador to get a man in the box, never mind get a cross in.

It makes for good entertainment though. Chile are just one misplaced pass away from disaster... but it never stops them trying to make the pass.

It's a world away from the supposed 'safety first' football that we are all used to. And all the better for it.

Caught the second half.

The co-commentator sounds like an awful hybrid of big DJ and C-bomb.

Keep your Excalibur away from your polar bear's arse and that'll be superlative - or words to that effect :lol:

Chile look very decent, but prone to switching off and / or moments of slackness.
