Damn, nothing went my way since the knockouts and that goal Argentina conceded in stoppage time.
Not many points left, Argentina looks like a sure finalist and it will be really close between Colombia and Uruguay.
Finally a game on Copa that smells like goals, I might actually stay awake for this one.

Gentlemen, Uruguay have arrived. My pick for the tournament even since the qualifiers. Bielsa's style truly fits the format, and even with 10 men, they were more aggressive and should have won the game. First appearance at this stage in 13 years, lovely!
Feel bad for Alisson, naturally, love the guy, but his forwards have not shown they deserve to progress.
I did miss out on the freebets but I feel confident about Uruguay now they dispatched of Brazil. Next up Colombia.

It's biggest game of 1/4 final without any doubts and I still not decided what outcome to pick. Brazil is little favorites on paper, but Uruguay so far left much better impression. Extra time and penalties wouldn't be surprise at all. Too bad that game starts 4 AM in my local time, it will be difficult to watch.
Does anyone here think that Panama can make upset against Colombia? Personally, I don't believe.

I pick Brazil 1 x 0 Uruguay, probably a tough game with lots of Yellow cards, maybe a red card, fouls and fighting
There's a good chance the match will go to penalties too
And in my opinion, just like in the Euro, there should be extra time instead of going straight to penalties
I think Colombia will have no trouble beating Panama, I don't think there will be any surprises in this match
Colombia 2x0 Panama
Today we have the BIG match Uruguay - Brasil.

@swogerino don't worry I'll do my best to take the spot from you. With only so few games left, I have no choice but to decide with the scores I almost never in my life pick in Superbru. But too far to catch unless my scores get correct and others don't, so that's the Superbru dilemma 
Honestly, I prefer Argentina not to win after their performance. Let one of the pure attackers win, and not even Brazil. I think it's time we reward smaller teams with more effort to give them Copa.

Canada deserves to go trought, Canada miss a ton of goals in the first half of the game, and Venezuela found a goal because a non sense play by the Canadian goalkeeper.
Very good for the Canada national team reach the semifinal and being the best team of Concacaf in this tournament so far.
Today we have the BIG match Uruguay - Brasil.

By far the one of the worst game of Argentina under Scaloni management, it was a super bad game for us.
The players seems like they have a party the night before, Messi was/is clearly injured he do nothing in the whole game, and that very late goal...... man i see the game like, well another easy game were we only need to win and pass to the next round, but when that goal come.... ufff Argentina mental health was very low in the players, thanks god Martinez appears again and he was the hero in the penalties.

Don't know why they had to risk him really. It was winnable without him, probably actually cost them the outright win (and then the penalty). If you guys win, it won't be because of magical football, really, but that is how it goes. Takes more than scoring.
Can't believe Venezuela just dropped out, to Canada of all sides. Rondon's equaliser must have made them breathe easy but penalties, well, there you go. First appearance for them at this stage I believe?
I believe so and the odds were clearly indicating that.The odd of 2.82 against 2.78 for both teams means that the game would be a balanced one,Venezuela did well in the group stage yet in the first elimination game they could not hold it up anymore,as they say the ball is round and you never know what to expect from a game.Canada did well too in this tournament and I guess it is their best ever appearance so far,for me it is strange as football is not at all popular in Canada compared to all other teams taking part in this league,all other countries including USA and Costa Rica love football as of lately.
In the pool though there is no one that can take the last place out of me,this was the most disastrous pool of all the ones that I have taken part of.

Or Ecuador was very motivated but not good enough to win 
Argentina goes in the next stage and that only counts, but I think Messi also missed a penalty.
Maybe they should rest Messi for next match, he is hurting the team more when he is not 100% fit and ready.
Well, i see the whole match and Ecuador dont do so much really, in fact the coach take out some of his best and dangerous players when they were still below in the result.
The main problem for Argentina can be they are playing the game knowing they are better so you play ina "relaxed" way and that can be a huge problem.
Until the final no real team are gonna play against Argentina, all the other good teams are in the other side of the bracket (Uruguay, Colombia, Brazil).

Hey everyone, sorry if I misunderstood, I was waiting for confirmation I could join so I never made payment, but anyway it is already done.
My Argentina causes me misery, they are going nothing but draws, so even though progressing, I keep losing money. Even my Sportsbet promo isn't paying out lol
Emi saving the asses again

Yeah a bunch of us said we are happy to have you with us, I think this pool is too small to have many unhappy campers. Besides, not like we don't know where you live...
Anyway was really hoping for Ecuador to win or knock Argentina out. Would have presented less difficult opponenta should Uruguay come up to the big stage.
Then again, would be a pretty penny to bet against them every match from now on.

Don't be discouraged, I was almost in last place, and in the last round I managed to climb 5 positions
I am always optimist and I am fighting until the end, there wont be any surrender for me.For the FIRST time in the HISTORY of football, ALL groups in a SELECTION tournament were won by coaches from the SAME COUNTRY
Someone from Argentina is going to win Copa America as a coach that is a guaranteed now!I am wondering is Messi going to play against Ecuador, this could be one of the last tournaments as a player for 37 year old legend, or maybe he tries to go in another World Cup in 2026.
Well not 100% sure about that yet, because Brasil still in competition with a brasilian coach. For me Brasil is gonna be out against Uruguay but...... Brasil is Brasil and you always have to respect them.

Argentinian dominance. Brazil does not look too convincing so I am thinking Argentina should have enough to shake off Uruguay and Colombia. I have not watched a single game yet but that is the impression I got from results and some reports. Works for me since I picked them on SB to win outright. Those 5$ free bets and 5$ chips just keep on coming.I just realized I am part of this pool and never even posted here
Had to rectify that
Well we are gonna start the quarter finals.
Argentina against Ecuador, here the news channel are saying Messi wants to play and he is gonna take part of the starters, but still in doubt by the coach.
A fact that just happen in this cup.
For the FIRST time in the HISTORY of football, ALL groups in a SELECTION tournament were won by coaches from the SAME COUNTRY:
The most impresive job is the one of Nestor Lorenzo, he comes from being an asistant of Pekerman and now he do a better job than him in Colombia.
Nobody knows him, but he was part of one of the most clasic pic of argentinian football, the one when Pekerman decided to take out Riquelme and put Cambiaso in Germany 2006 and dont bring in Messi. We all know how that ended, for me still the best ever Argentinian national team i ever see playing, and yes even better than this one who is World champion.
What a team man look at that names, and how they played, Nestor Lorenzo is in the righ up corner.
Here is more clear. He is the guy on the left.

Yes man indeed, Colombia play way better than this bland Brazil, Colombia deserves the win they miss two clear goals in front of the goal, the second one missed by Rafael Santos Borre was incredible.
One thin i just notice is, what an idiot make the brackets in this cup? why dont cross the duels between the groups, i mean you win quarter finals and you are again playing with the same teams of your group in semifinals. Non sense.
Well i know the answer, the cup is play in a country where they call "SOCCER" the football......

The brackets could be different, I agree, I don't know why CONMEBOL hasn't done the opposite
I think I am done in this Copa America pool, except if some huge miracle happens in next 8 matches, and 8 points is not impossible to catch in my dreams 
Anyway, I didnt do much research for most matches so I wont complain.

My goal will be to finish in the top 3, but I know it's difficult
And another thing, there were several matches with surprising results, so it's a bit of luck as well to get more points
My pick is Argentina 2 x 0 Ecuador
Good luck guys!!

WTF I just noticed this too! And then what you said makes sense. In the NBA bracket I remember, the left and ride sights never meet until the final, so they just play the same teams, what is the sense in that lol
Now it makes me wonder if there's a good explanation for this format, does anyone know?
