Kreuzberg will be sad tonight

Uruguay with 12 fouls in the first half against Brazil, 0 cards.

I'm convinced that as this point a Uruguayan player could murder someone on the field and a CONMEBOL referee would go "well, it is a foul but that's definitely not a card."

And they finally get a red card following VAR. But I understand your point.

VAR was Mexican

Uruguay had three cards in the match against Brazil and they’re still at 15.5 fouls per card for the tournament.

It’s honestly shocking the difference in officiating between the Euros and the Copa America. CONMEBOL wants to believe the CA is on par with the Euros but, it just isn’t.

MLS is difficult to play in Football Manager so therefore it is terrible.

My brain hurt after watching for two minutes. Sad part is, this is “objective” analysis for a good portion of US fans. “If Utah can support three major college football teams, why can’t it support more than one professional soccer team?”

Got a bit lost yesterday but US Men’s Olympic roster was announced yesterday.

Walker Zimmerman, Miles Robinson and Djordje Mihailovic are the overage players. Reporting indicated that there was a real struggle trying to get clubs to release players, even MLS clubs, as clubs aren’t obligated to release players like other tournaments.

Must be nice to have money to throw away.

Argentina took a shot at music artist Drake after the Canadian lost $300,000 on a bet his country would beat the defending champions in Tuesday's Copa America semifinal, using rap rival Kendrick Lamar's song to send him a message.
The World Cup winners responded to Drake's post with a photo accompanied by the caption: "Not like us," the title of a 'diss' track released by Lamar in May which criticised the Canadian artist and which has been streamed nearly half a billion times on Spotify.

Confirmed.

Colombia beats Uruguay playing a man down the entire second half. Final was 1-0 but the last ten minutes it could have easily been 4-0. Colombia missed three wide open shots with Uruguay having to play aggressive.
