No way Gabriel Jesus should have gotten a 2nd yellow for that but this ref really was determined to make this a thing.

Also no way Advincula should have gone that long without a yellow

Got extremely lucky to not have been sent off

All in all, this ref made some weird decisions.

A fitting end, refereeing wise, to this dumpster fire of a tournament. Holy shit, where do they find these clowns?

É Campeão, caralho!

Congrats to Brazil for the win! They handled the red card well and managed to take even more control of the game.

Peru didn’t know what to do despite having that man advantage

The 2021 Edition has been moved to Brazil after Argentina refused to host it due to Covid. Empty stadiums here we come :bow:

Isnt brazil even worse? Or does bolsonaro just not give a shit about corvid?

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Jun 01, 2021 12:29 am

He couldn't care less lol.

Tbf Brazil and Argentina have very similar deaths per capita , only that Brazil has taken a libertarian approach and Argentina an authoritarian ones. Both extremes but if the results are the same i know which I'd rather choose.

Why are they insistent on making this copa happen... at this point just cancel it until 2024

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Jun 01, 2021 3:34 am

Idk . Didn't we have one in 2019?

If the scumbags are that greedy, why not move it to the US?

they probably charged too much to organize it in such a short notice. You probably could host the whole thing in texas if you wanted to though

by elitedam Fri Jun 04, 2021 12:12 pm

I think it might be cancelled.

Brasilian players have already made their decisions on whether or not they're playing but they're only announcing it after Tuesday's game. Plus it seems like a lot of other South American players are against it as well.

Dumb fucks should have moved it to the US.

by BarrileteCosmico Fri Jun 04, 2021 2:46 pm

Scaloni (Argentine DT) criticized it, Aguero, Godin, Cavani criticized the decision, I'm sure other NTs are going through the same. Just a dumb move to move this to one of the world's corona epicenters.

The most they could do is back up the start date and move it here. It can be done but I wonder if it disrupts World Cup Qualifying if the move is made

Why is this tournament not cancelled :facepalm:

by RealGunner Sat Jun 12, 2021 4:33 pm

should have just merged this with Euros imo

by Perucho21 Sat Jun 12, 2021 5:50 pm

Canceling it and waiting until 2024 is the way to go.

But Peru just called some new players so I kinda want to see them in action

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:34 pm

The next one is scheduled for 2023. Could've just waited til then

by Perucho21 Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:48 pm

Really? I read that the reason for this copa happening this soon is that they want the copa to fall the same year as the Euro (2 years after the WC)

@rincon

This is how I'm finding out Laughing

I've never not followed the copa america until this edition. Tournament should be cancelled. I was planning on watching some games but not like usual. Terrible decision to move it to Brazil.

by Lord Awesome Sat Jun 12, 2021 10:11 pm

Damn this edition might get cancelled yet if more players contact Covid. Might happen tbh

Diageo stepped down as a sponsor. Hurting them where it hurts

by elitedam Sat Jun 12, 2021 10:50 pm

Mastercard and Ambev already pulled out a few days ago.
