man those vargas crosses are money

 

[Enron]

Vargas is tearing Uruguay's D into shreds.

 

[swag]

Even an injured Vargas lays an awesome cross.

 

[Joe]

Wow Vargas...

These crosses!

1-1 FT

 

[swag]

And yet another draw... deserved, though.

Copa del Draws

Hopefully Chile can end this drawfest

how long until kickoff? 30 mins?

 

[Fred]

Is it me, or is the poor state of the surface seriously affecting the quality of football in the Copa?

 

[swag]

I can't blame the turf for the less than stellar play I've often seen thus far.

 

[Fred]

I don't know. The ball bobbles a lot on the surface, players keep sliding; to me it looks like it is affecting the play.

 

[Linebreak]

Copa = draw-athon?

 

[swag]

But aren't complaints about ball bobbling fodder for every semi-annual tournament?

And am I going to recognize anyone on the Mexico NT, or are they just going to pass out kits to a bunch of guys they found hanging out in front of a Home Depot?

Giovani dos Santos is in the squad. There's only one other player with over 10 caps, Paul Aguilar.

It's not helping.

They should water the pitches to lessen the bobbles and to speed things up a little.

That was another bizarre statistic I heard when I watched the US women's team play North Korea last week. The USA women's starting lineup had over 1,100 cumulative caps, whereas the NK team had less than a tenth of that combined.

Where's Chicharito

 

[The Curr]

Where's Chicharito

Mexico and Costa Rica had to send an Olympic style squad. Under-23 with a few overage players.

US is so dumb for not playing in the copa america
