Ok since the EUro has been decided we can now focus on the COPA America, which is being hosted in America, I mean USA america.
Argentina is favourite to win it all, the rankings for betting goes,
1Argentina
2Brazil
3Uruguay
4Colombia
5USA
6Mexico
Most teams with the exception of Kanada have played friendlies vs South
or North American teams or at least CONCACAF, Canada has played European teams in Europe, I dont know if that Is a Jesse Marsch thing? Is the
Canadian NT still in Europe?
AS I in a previous thread, Canada needs to play for 0-0 draws in order
to advance and they did just that vs France, so if you can draw vs the
2nd rated team in the world, you have to be favourites.
WE like Colombia as a dark horse (though I guess they are not really a
dark horse if the are 4th favourites), but at the moment we are
projecting Brasil to win it all, even though friendlies have not been
that good for them, they just drew with puny little USA and have
recently lost to teams like Colombia and Uruguay.

Yeah why are there 2 continents and 1 country called America?

Because people like to abbreviate things:
North America -> America
South America -> America
United States of America -> America
America Ferrera -> Betty
When I grew up I was taught there were 5 continents, reflected on the
Olympic flag having 5 rings, by combining North and South America and excluding uninhabited Antarctica.

Which is a pretty Eurocentric way of seeing things, given geology,
I did not see the opening Ceremony for the Euro, i assume there was one, maybe with Scorpions Nena? The Copa though had the Colombian guy and an American kinda opening ceremony, maybe it was Costa Rican, but it seemed
very red white and blue.
Argies already doing the gamesmanship thing, making the Kanadians wait
in the tunnel. It would be the biggest upset in the history of football
if Kanada wins.
The Chile v Peru match was a foul ridden 0-0 draw, I thought Chile
looked the better team, but we are NOT projecting them to win the cup.
in fact, we are now projecting Kanada to make it out of the group phase.

Ever since CONCACAF teams have joined the COPA America it has become a
very passionate affair, probably because South Americans were always
thinking that there is a part of America missing from the COPA America,
or maybe just cus CONCACAF is the Rockingest confederation.
Ecuador vs Venezuela sort of started with the ill tempered-ness of the previous match. Now I dont know why,is it politics? Venezuela used to
be a rich country, but not really anymore, so it cant be that. I can
see Peru v Chile being more like a Derby and I can see the passion, but
no one should dislike the vino tinto ( that were actually wearing their
vino blanco shirts). Ok Venezuela has oil , but the country is in poor shape compared to when I was there. Back then everyone had big bots and cars and money, now everyone is leaving. I seem to recall something to
the effect that Venezuela has more Oil than anyone else or some such thing?
Anyhow as for the match Ecuador red carded within the first 15 minutes
for a nasty high boot, which really looked bad in my opinion, just cus
it seemed he tried to follow through. VARobots actually had to give the
red after the ref only gave yellow. So 10 men Ecuador scored first but
long story short a chippy match ended 2-1 though it seemed less chippy
as the match progressed.
A pure CONCACAF match was the second of the day between Mexico and
Jamaica. Mexico seems to be fielding more of an experimental side, I don
know if they have a team playing in the Olympics maybe?
Anyhow the Mexi fans seemed down on the team and it was only going to
get worse when Jamaica scored first, but it was called back for offside, which is too bad, it was a perfectly good goal aside from a slight
offside, but the guy was trying to come back onside and without VAR, I
think a linesman would not have called it?
That dis allowed goal seemed to wake up the players and even the fans
sort of got behind the Mexis and they soon scored their own goal to win
it 1-0.
I dont understand USA stadiums. I understand that they are all fake
grass, but have real grass poured on top of the fake grass, but what i
dont understand is why they all have roofs in places which I assume are steaming hot? I get Green Bay having a roof or even Seattle, but in Texas?
If you are to compare the EURO vs the COPA, so far I would say there is
more "passion" in the COPA and by "passion" I mean fouling. USA play
probably the weakest S American team Bolivia and Uruguay play possibly
the weakest CONCACAF team panama today

The most important thing to see as a Copa fan is how Brazil is doing.
The second is how the Oilerd are doing and it is 1-1.

Canada beats a South American team for the first time in 24 years! Not
the most resounding win, Peru down to 10 men for the final 30 minutes.
It was very hot, so hot that a linesman passed out, apparently due to
the heat, when I saw him down, I thought he had maybe been hit by something. A Peruvian player head butted a CDN player but the
Guatemalan ref and the VARobots did nothing, not even a yellow?
Certainly not the most convincing win, but it is a win, Dont know if I
would pick them to beat CHile, but it is possible.
local boy Jonathan David with a nice composed finish gave Kanada the 1-0
and it should have been smooth sailing, but the CDN keeper still had to
make a couple of good saves towards the end of the match to keep it 1-0.
Anyhow CONCACAF teams doin alright so far.

Maybe the quality of football can be debated, I dont think it is that different from the EURO, even if they are playing in the heat and
humidity of North America. Keep in mind that even here on the Iceberg,
we have really hot summers with high humidity, so you can just imagine
what it is like in Orlando or Kansas or Vegas ( though Vegas should be
dry), which has to have an affect on the players. In Germany it seems
it only rains, though I dont recall when i was young that it was this
rainy in the summer?
Anyhow the point is that the COPA does the VAR better, they dont seem to
give out Penals for every handball. Yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, you had the English commentators saying how once VAR and the ref looks at it it will be a handball call. Thankfully they were wrong and
it was not, the ridiculousness of hand ball calls in Europa is going to
see players purposely aiming the ball at the opponents arms just to get
these cheap calls. It was already happening.
SO with some results already in, we are projecting Argentina to win the
COPA 24.
SO Kanada had a big injury happen today in training, Inter milan star
player Tajan Buchanan had a serious injury, possible broken leg
suffered? It is a blow, but not that huge, when you consider he has not played all that much. I always liked him and I dont know why he wasnt starting?
End of the group stage tonight. Essentially the game for first place in
Grp D, though I suppose if Brazil lose and Cost Rica win and somehow
make up the 6 goals, the Costa Ricans could snatch 2nd.
Some might say that Colombia is the hottest team in football, not me
though, I think it is Venezuela, but this is where we see if this Brasil
team is as good as I thought they would be.They need a win to take first place and I expect that to happen. Also, first place matches you with
Panama, while 2nd would match you with Uruguay, so plenty to play for
for both teams.
From a CONCACAF perspective, we can safely say Canada is the best team
in CONCACAF. Can they beat the Vino Tinto? Sure, why not.

AS it stands Colombia top the group and Brasil 2nd.
Colombia is playing really well, better than Brasil in my opinion,
they pass better and quicker and have probably had more scoring
chances, their goalie might be a weak spot though.
Agreed. At least they are the better coached unit. They deserved to win today, but couldn't put the game away.
I have to say Vini JR annoys me with his constant bickering to the ref
and crying for cards to be shown. He already has a yellow card for a
foul,
A yellow card that will keep him out of the quarterfinal game against Uruguay, btw. Seems to be learning from Neymar?
While I'm at it: what is it with the fans that chant "Olé" at the objectively wrong moments (eg, when their team is not winning, or early
in the game)? It was puzzling enough when the Mexicans did it 13 minutes
into the game against Ecuador (a tie, let's recall, served Ecuador, not Mexico). Now it was the Colombians. I understand they were playing
better, but Brasil would not be eliminated by a draw.
Plus, it would only take a goal by Brasil to (a) make them look silly
and (b) make Colombia play Uruguay instead of Panama in the next round.
Anyway, a bit of trivia: all group winning managers - Lionel Scaloni, Fernando Batista, Marcelo Bielsa and Nestor Lorenzo - are Argentinian. I believe this is the first time such a thing happens in Copa America.
Best regards,

No, always more south, but it was it always more rainy? I am not
denying that humans have changed the temps of the planet, but things
like more rain is more new to me
Based on the latest results and Messi game play, we are declaring
Colombia Copa 24 champions.
Canada came so close to being the 3rd best team in South America, but
no, they are just the 4th best team in South America. A lot of people
in up here on the Iceberg ( which is 30C in the shade, I dont know how
they are playing football in North America now) are getting down on
Alphonso Davies, everyone is blaming him for the loss and saying he
shouldnt be playing for the NT and what not. Even Mr Lily White was
going on about how he has declined. I dont know, not ready to throw him under the bus yet.
So anyhow a decent display by Canada, with a B team last night,
sometimes when your B team is the same as your A team, it does not
really matter. I am still going with Colombia to win tonight.
What's the minimum size for a football pitch in the rules of football? I
was aware of complaints about the quality of the pitches; according to >Wikipedia there were also complaints about the size of the pitches. >Apparently some were 100x64 metres. Is that actually legal for an >international match?
Apparently some were 100x64 metres. Is that actually legal for an
international match?
Quite sure that FIFA tightened this up to 105x68 several years ago.
Apparently some were 100x64 metres. Is that actually legal for an

Quite sure that FIFA tightened this up to 105x68 several years ago.
Internal matches soccer fields should have a length between 100 and 110m
and a width between 64 and 75m.
-- HASM
Apparently some were 100x64 metres. Is that actually legal
should have a length between 100 and 110m and a width between 64 and 75m.
So it's the absolute minimum but it is legal. That seems fair enough.
I'm not sure why they're complaining then.
Anytime I walked on a properly marked field or watch a game on TV, I
always look at the distance from the penalty kick area side lines to the
hash marks on the goal line ... to get a feel of the field's width.

Smaller fields favor the bus parking teams as they need a smaller bus:-)
More seriously, it becomes much harder to play wider through the wings.
In yards, the width is between 70 and 80, the metric numbers are an approximate official measurements.
Anytime I walked on a properly marked field or watch a game on TV, I
always look at the distance from the penalty kick area side lines to the
hash marks on the goal line that helps the referees tell whether a
defender is 10 yards away from the corner kick, to get a feel of the
field's width.
The corner kick quarter circle has a 1 yard radius, the hash mark is 10
yards from the quarter circle, or 11 yards from the corner flag. The
penalty area is 44 yards wide (8 + 2*6 + 2*12), thus adding that to the
width marked by the corner kicks hash marks, gives 2*11+44 or 66 yards.
That leaves 2 yards minimum between the hash marks and the penalty area,
less than that and the game is not to international game standards.
Nice fields are 110x80. When I referred on fields that approach the
maximum size of 120x90, I knew I was going to be more tired than usual
by the end of the game, and so would be the defenders.

Has anyone ever encountered similar hash-marks

optional there as well,
