The Copa America thread

Just turned ura v col on, what a bonkers game. Looks a complete different sport from England v Netherlands in two very different semifinals.

1000 times more entertaining than the Euro semi today.

Its all happening!!

Uruguay spent most of the 2hf fighting rather than playing football to exploit their one man advantage

They struggle to get the mix of passion v dickheadery v dumb cunts.

But gee I love Luis Diaz effort. Glad we have him.

Arne Slot has his work cut out on Nunez

Nice to see Darwin and Lucho embracing at the end. They both gave their all.

Did I just see Darwin Nunez (and others) in a fight in the stands? Yikes.

Edit:

Apparently he was defending his family, according to Twitter reports, but obviously take that for what itā€™s worth at this point.

Scary scene, though. That could have become very dangerous very quickly.

I thought Nunez had some great moments in the game. Probably should have scored a goal, but at the same time, most of the chances he has would not even be chances if, say, Kane was swapped in for him, as he just wouldnā€™t be up with the pace, or have the athleticism to carve stuff out like Darwin does.

The crowd fighting at the end gives me mixed feelings. Part of me loves his sense of injustice, and fighting his corner, especially if it is true that his family were in there. Another part of me wonders about the lengthy ban years ago that Cantona got, as well as the obvious safety issue with an elite player going into the opposition fans to fight them.

I hope this isnā€™t too trite, but heā€™s a mad bastard, but it all adds to the allure for me, and I am rooting for this man and canā€™t wait to see what Slot does with him.

I am actually optimistic about that, given that he was hired in May and has very, very limited training time with the side.

Defending his family? Come on, no excuse to behave this way.

Children wearing Uruguay shirts were helped out of the melee. Even if children were in danger from the Colombia fans, it does look like Nunezā€™s reaction was way over the top. I think if there is a ban, it wonā€™t be limited to international matches.
