And even more regrettable even though Colombia played with 10 players due to a Munoz (Colombia) getting a red card while Uruguay could not do much to reply to that goal, in addition to the many opportunities that went to waste at the end that should have been a goal, we spectators of this match were a little tense what was launched by Uruguay's attack did not produce results for Nunez and his friends.

It's sad, why is football such a fun spectacle but there has to be a fight in the stands.
I respect Nunez, he was willing to fight because he bought his family and children who were harassed by drunk Colombian fans, this was also provoked because it was difficult to get emotional from the defeat in addition to his family getting rough treatment from the opponent.

Colombia shocked all around. They beat Uruguay, even after that Muñoz nonsense with the red card. Their defence was amazing. But Argentina is not Uruguay. They are so defending their championship.

Colombia's got heart, I'll give them that. But heart only gets you so far against a team like Argentina. They have to be wise. They must participate in a flawless game. Maybe get lucky. Though its a long way off, I enjoy an underdog. If they can keep their cool, maybe catch Argentina on the counter, who knows?

Colombia's defense better be ready for a war. Not going to let up for a second is Argentina. This will be a fight. It will be just lovely. This will be the best final we have seen in years.

The Argentinian team is favourite in this final game for sure for several reasons and Messi will want to lift this title while his career is coming to an end in few years. Yet the chance of the Colombian team is still here and the best thing that they can do is to oblige Argentina national team to play penalties, then what will happen will happen.

Argentina will definitely win the Copa America and this time around, there's presence of pressuring actions from contenders. Uruguay got eliminated from the Copa America semi-final. This is really a shocking phase for them but it seems they're struggling. How can Colombia knock out one of the tough contender for the tournament? It's still huge surprise for me but I guessed, everything happen for a reason.

It is certain that this match will be a lot of Argentina's favorite seeing that in terms of opportunities it is very far, but how far to do this in the final? If betting then it is certain that many will choose Argentina, this team has great quality players including Messi who may still be able to score in the final later.

Anyway, it will be sweet for Messi to win the Copa America now that they last won the World Cup and now will win the Copa America because it is getting closer to the title.
I predict that Argentina will win the final again for the 16th time.

Yeah, maybe it was really sponsor money and there was such condition on it. But I wouldn't still bet on Canada to win even in that case.    One can certainly find a better option with the same odds for such game.

We both expected Uruguay to win but they were a failure. Not even being able to score a goal against a team which played with 10 players for a whole half? This is terrible after all those performances we have watched from them. It looks like a back-to-back Argentina title is on the way, what do you think? I wouldn't like to jinx the final game though.    But it would really be a big surprise if Colombia beat Argentina somehow too.

Uruguay definitely looked like the better team, and yet they still lost and that's a bad thing but we just need to accept that we are not going to end up with anything that will be all that easy to handle. We should probably realize that it is going to take a while for Uruguay to get better.

They had one of the best tournaments they had in a long time, and with Brazil being bad, they could have won this game and be great and maybe even beat Argentina in the finals, would have been hard but not impossible. Whereas, now they have to watch the finals from afar. I still think that Argentina will win the whole thing, it will not be that hard, and looking at how they are going to face an "easy" opponent, they should be able to get it going.

Colombia's fans are fierce. And here are the full ten fans of Colombia. To be honest, I really didn't like the Colombia team's performance even a few years ago. This team plays very aggressively. Fouled a lot. Now it seems that the fans of Colombia are also very fierce.

As far as I know Uruguayan players family members have been attacked by Colombia fans. This is very unfortunate. It can never be justified that they will abuse or attack the opponent just because Colombia won the match. It is also natural that the players of Uruguay are involved in this quarrel . If someone attacks my family, I will definitely help them.

Colombia fans were reportedly attacking people in a section of the stadium where Uruguay players wives, girlfriends and children were sitting. Nunez, Valverde, Araújo, Giminez were fighting to defend their families.

I do not blame the players at all, I would have done the same. The police failed them, why weren’t they there?

I was quite hopeful that I would see Uruguay meet Argentina in the final match, but what I expected was actually the opposite of what is happening now after Colombia was surprisingly able to stop the other favorite team in the semifinals from reaching the final at this time, the results of the semifinal match yesterday between Uruguay and Colombia, it seemed make that Argentina percentage as the favorite to win at this time began to decrease drastically, because after all, Colombia looks very promising to be able to provide fierce resistance to Argentina in the final round,  I was personally quite surprised by Colombia game in the semifinal round who were able to appear effective even though they continued to be under pressure from Uruguay.


Since the start of the Copa America, Argentina and Brazil have been the two favorite teams to win the Copa, but Brazil was eliminated first by Uruguay, while Uruguay actually had to be eliminated by Colombia which was never the favorite to reach the final, but now we will actually be presented with a final that of course it will be very difficult to predict who will win, Argentina who is the defending champion, will have a greater burden to maintain their status, while Colombia will likely play carefree in the final because so far reaching the final match has been quite a brilliant achievement for them.

It is a great victory for Colombia, I thought the match would end in a draw and that the score would be in Uruguay's favor because I see that they are very good scorers, however the winner is Colombia and I think it is excellent, the final is not an iconic final, Colombia is very excited, its people, everyone is still celebrating, the final is very good, it could be that either of the two teams wins although I am more inclined to favor Argentina because of the warmth that this team shows in a final, however since 2001 with the captaincy of Pibe Valderrama they have won a Copa América, it could be that the selection can give that joy to the coffee-growing country.

Regarding the hooliganism that took place in the stadium, I find it incredible, these things happen in a first world country, the lack of maturity is unbelievable , that the fans act worse than wild animals.

Of all the matches Uruguay has played on this season this was actually the match I never expect them to lose because in as much as Uruguay may not be the best team on this league but we can attest that there performance this season was too impressive, however we can start from there group stage when they played three matches and came out victorious with 9 points and they still move on and meeting Brazil at the Quarter finals and with there performance they still managed to hold Brazil with draw even with the red card they had but still Brazil could not win them.

So after how they played with Brazil on that match with short one I came to the conclusion that they have all the performance of qualifying for the finals but to my greatest surprise, of all the matches they have played with so much effort  they could not even put the same efforts on there performance in other to win the match, and funny enough Colombia was even playing with short one but they still could not win.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting Columbia to win their Copa America semi final against a known football nation like Uruguay who eliminated Brazil from the competition. After Uruguay defeated Brazil in the quarter finals, I was expecting them to reach the final ahead of Columbia because to me, I feel their team have more quality but the Columbia player had another thought which was to take their nation to the final of a major tournament for the first time in 23 years.
The aftermath of that Columbia win earlier today was a fight which broke out between fans of both nations. During the fight, Uruguay player Darwin Nunez was seen running to the crowd to protect his family from being harmed by Columbian supporters. The football body in charge of South American football I believe will investigate the matter and sanction the offenders

Both the Copa America and Euro finals will be tough and interesting matches to watch, no one will be probably better than the other because both teams gave an astonishing performance to reach their league finals.

In few days, we will be getting to see whether Argentina will stop the unbeaten strike of Columbia because they last lost a match two years ago against the same Argentina they are meeting in the Copa America finals. Since then, no loss match has Columbia encountered. It's either a win match or a draw match for them. However, it's gonna be a tough match even though their head-to-head, Argentina have 4 wins, to 1 win for Columbia.

For Euro finals: Spain vs England. Spain won't easily win England as thought. England might hold Spain to a draw that penalty will then decide who owes the Euro trophy "Spain or England".

It's just a matter of time. It is good that Argentina reached the final but they did not perform as expected in the semi-final match. Argentina team was struggling in the end with teams like Canada. Colombia and Argentina will face each other in the final match in what could be a fierce battle between the two teams. Both teams are almost equal in terms of strength. Argentina have the same title chances as Colombia. Can Argentina win the Copa America title for the second time in a row?Or Colombia will be champion. This question is constantly in the minds of supporters.

Argentina will play this final as favorites and many people including me will bet on them. I was going through the odds and for Argentina, you will get 2.28 and if you bet on Colombia then the odds are 3.60. These odds are taken from Stake and it shows that bookies favor Argentina  to win this final.

Will Argentina win the Copa Ameria title for the 16th time or will it be Colombia winning it for the 2nd time?

Argentina is one of the best soccer team due to best strategy of their coach and depth of these youngsters as things are going most chances we are going to have no challenge for them in coming years as well because they are doing good development and all things are going into their way for having better results with Brazil is having too many problems which are preventing them from having better results so just because of this their dominance is going to have good long time in near future.

In this event we are having their best performance with high quality which is showing how strong they are and if we have no off the field troubles for them most chances we will have them in strong winning position in coming world cup with just teams from the European region can give them challenge specially Spain or England but still things are favourable for them to stay at the top of the FIFA rankings for long time.

By mere calling of the names that are going to be playing in the final match of the Copa America, one will definitely pick Argentina as the best choice to win the match. Perhaps, why not consider the other team also to have made it this far and eliminated all the big teams they have to face before reaching the finals. The Colombians have done extremely well since the beginning of the competition and have not lost any game also. I won’t give it all to Argentina for a win over Colombia without having to face any difficulty. The match is going to be a tough one and a very important one to follow through because I expect a lot of excitement and intriguing moments in this finals.


Colombians can’t just be banned from next tournaments because their fans fought with their opponents player, that will be uncalled for and not just if such verdict is being given as regards to this situation. The tempo was high since Uruguay lost the match and not one can really tell what transpired between them that led to that fight. Whatever the case may be, diligent investigation should be done and only the party doing guilty should be punished and not allow other face the penalty or nonchalant behavior of others.

Colombia has tired but they can not be the team to stop Argentina from winning the Copa America. Argentina prepared for the tournament very well and no team could stop them. They have showed their country that they can be called heros. They just won the world cup and adding to that could be the Copa American. Messi is really gifted, he mightn't have contributed too many chances to the tournament but he has helped the team before and now they're returning the flavor by playing for him to won more international trophies. Argentina has a very good score against Colombia and with that they can be confident when they play them but the coach needs to be cautious and instruct the players to not underate anybody as they are not very good at playing international finals due to the amount of losses they already have.

I think, there is always a trigger that will make them have a fight like that because after all, if they only get a losing result I don't think they will have a fight like that either. Because if the issue is because Nunez received threats from Colombian fans, then I think it's natural that Nunez ended up being emotional and unbearable, resulting in a fistfight like that. However, if for example the threat does not really exist or does not actually occur, then Nunez will receive punishment.

But of course, if the threat was really made by Colombian national team fans, then of course Nunez would not receive any punishment because the fault lies with the Colombian fans who intimidated Nunez. But yes, I personally am quite sure that there was a trigger that made Nunez do that, but I am sure that Nunez's actions were appropriate because he did not accept the attitude or behavior regarding threats made by Colombian national team fans like that.
