Only Japan vs Chile on tonight which concludes the first lot of matches. I think Japan will edge this one but I’m not betting on it.

I expect Chile to win or make a draw and Peru too.
Qatar performance was quite acceptable as a start and Uruguay was hard on Ecuador!

Argentina is the first surprise result of this tournament.I placed a bet on them winning against Colombia but woke up today morning and I was surprised with the 0-2 result.Now with Paraguay not being able to defeat Qatar I think it can be considered as another surprise.

I am happy with every moment in this competition. Very many surprises that occur at the beginning of the competition and countries that might be predicted to win every match actually experience a defeat like Argentina. Paraguay should have won against Qatar if we saw in terms of players certainly Paraguay is better.

Just finished watching Paraguay vs Qatar. I thought it was going to be a boring game but it turned out to be one of the best games in the tournament so far. First time watching Qatar and, man, those guys can play some really great football, wtf?? i'm impressed! (now I understand why @buwaytress is backing them Wink

)...Too bad they lack strikers with clinical finishing, otherwise, they could've won by at least a 2 goals or more today.

Looking forward to see how they compete against NT's with world-class players.

Right? I know at least one guy knocked me earlier in this thread (and of course he didn't join our pool heh) but aside from the friendly against Brazil, they have not lost a competitive game since the AFC. They actually outplayed Paraguay didn't they? Better dribbling, better passing, they just seemed to really get stuck in the pitch so I'm wondering if they've never played on bad pitches.

I still feel they got on the bad side of a few bad ref calls although he did improve towards the end of the match. Almoez scored as I hoped, but he should really have done better with the pass on 92nd minute. OR made the shot himself.

Uruguay I didn't watch, needed an early start but I put $30 on Suarez and co and they got me almost 2/1. Messi and Aguero must be feeling really crap seeing that team turn it on.

Now I'm watching Uruguay - Ecuador game and Uruguay leading 3:0 after first half. So far they are totally dominating. Ecuador made just 1 shot so far and one their player got red card. I didn't expected that this match will be such easy for Uruguay.

I wasn't expecting such a big scoreline either, The match ended 4:0 both Suarez and Cavani made their marks. I thought it was going to be difficult game for Uruguay and they've always had a solid defensive performance which made me go for a 2:0 win as my pick. Although, going one man down also had it's effect on the Ecuador team's plan and Uruguay took that to their best advantage.

Yeah, I'm also impressed about Qatar performance. Just few starting minutes when they conceded goal was a bit chaotic, but later they started to play very solid, especially in the second half.

I won't say I'm totally surprised with Qatar getting a draw against Paraguay, It however would have hurt really much If Qatar had won the game because prior to the tournament's kick off, I predicted Qatar would win the match 2 - 1.

Lineups for Uruguay vs Ecuador is out already with Suarez and Cavani leading the line for Uruguayans, I hope can they get a win, It's been a disappointing so far Sad

And now it is already 2:2. I thought it was over after 2:0 lead but that Qatar side actually has something in them. I am not watching the match but it seems like it is a very interesting one. I really hate coverage of Copa. Can't find them on any program I get (and I am paying for shitload of them) and all the streams are crappy.

Paraguay vs Qatar has just started, have to admit I am not going to watch that Cheesy

Uruguay vs Ecuador in a few hours, might watch this one. Hoping to get lucky with my predictions in the pool tonight Wink

Paraguay have taken an early lead from the penalty spot, just after just 4 minutes.

Qatar response has been incredible too, they are dominating possession and playing with a huge confidence, the match is still far from over, I'd say!

Spotty internet so I missed first 15 mins. My take so far, the pitch is something Qatar don't seem to be doing too well with, ball seems stuck from midfield, but when it does get to the front men, they got Paraguay on the ropes for sure. That shot from Aziz... keeper didn't know what hit him it was a brilliant lob really. And then that save a couple of minutes from HT.

Two bad refereeing calls against Qatar too, the freekick from edge of penalty which was a beauty of a tackle, and then Paraguay got away without a card for an elbow body check? Damn.

Definitely far from over.

Edit: Eventful 2nd half! Paraguay goal disallowed after VAR offside, but they scored a beautiful goal anyway... and now Almoez just pulled one back with an even more beautiful goal... 2-1. It ain't over!

I can't say that Argentina played bad in second half. Colombia had only few dangerous moments and managed to score 2 goals.

Crazy result for Argentina to lose, they have an uphill battle to qualify now. They should not be losing to Colombia, kind of unforgivable result.

Despite this loss, I don't think that Argentina will struggle to qualify. Their remaining opponents Paraguay and Qatar are weaker on the paper. And also, in worst case scenario they can quslify to the next round as best third placed team.

LOL I am the bottom one in the table. I thought Argentina was going to win...
What is wrong? Argentina is not a top contestant anymore?

Argentina is playing weirdly these years, i do not know if they could play better without messi?...
They disappointed everyone..

Quote from: rdbase on June 16, 2019, 09:03:16 AM

Qatar game looks interesting because from earlier this year they won a major title in the football world so they might have that to ride on going into this game.
The odds are very good for them to have a win going at 4.90x against paraguay.

Qatar was doing pretty well lately especially with the world Cup 2022 being hosted in their country. It will be interesting to know their level in Copa.

You can hope for a better luck today, There are about 3 of us as the join lowest point scorers. but think can change so rapidly.

With Argentina losing their first game, I think Qatar's chances of qualifying is at stake now, unless they can come up with a win against Paraguay today, because Argentina will need to win their two remaining games now to stand a better chance to qualify.

Damn me, I changed my Draw prediction to a Peru win, and then I knew I should listen to the statistics of Messi being good for Barcelona but shit for Argentina. Shame on me for trying to outfox myself haha. @Pamoldar Messi carried the entire team in the last World Cup, they qualified by the tiniest margins too if I remember, his hattrick in the last qualifiying game. It's incredible how far international teams get because of Messi and Ronaldo... but they don't play together often enough for the players to really gel.

Those who locked picks probably saw I'm doing another risky upset prediction today.

I can’t believe it that Argentina lost the match they’re the favourites to win this cup, it was a horrible performance from them I hope they bounce back from this loss.

I doubt they will be able to bounce back and keep up in this Copa season. They are a broken team, was not able to play better today as well. Evaluating their performance, I would exclude them from trophy winner list.

I didn't watch the match because of the time difference but after checking statistics a bit and looking at Colombia squad I think Colombia will come very far in this tournament. I have also predicted an Argentina win but it seems we heavily underestimated Colombia. They have a great team and player like D. Zapata who had an outstanding season in Italy was only given 10 minutes in the game.
