Ode to the beautiful game 2

[Desperado]

My poor old lady heart is so happy right now! The semis!!!! I know this is as far as we go but still it is further than I honestly expected.

They played well the first 45 min against Argentina, with a little luck, who knows what can happen? ?

Well this is a nice way to end the night! Oh Canada!!??????

Venezuela scores on an open net! That was the dumbest goal ever! Come on Canada!

The coach took the blame he told him to be more aggressive and move up

Jesse Marsh beyond p*ssed leaving the field at half-time.

We did well, considering.

We have the bronze medal game on Saturday! I really like this team, looking forward to see how they keep developing. There’s some heart here.

Yes, we do! I like the new coach too. He headed the Montreal Impact a long while ago.

The son and I both think he looks like Martin Freeman. We like his exuberant ranting.
We also cracked up at Kone getting a yellow card for tapping the ball into the Argentina player’s back and his drama response. So ridiculous.

 

[quartz]

Uruguay vs Colombia -will root for Uruguay as they seem to be the underdogs. Really miss Edinson Cavani cuz he was very nice to look at, I mean nice to watch his soccer skills.

 

[quartz]

Colombia scores first. Come on Uruguay!

 

[quartz]

Red card for Colombia, down to ten men.

 

[Buzz]

At half time Colombia still leads 1-0 but down a man. Definitely not a dull game

 

[Buzz]

Still Colombia 1-0 Uruguay

 

[Buzz]

Final: Uruguay 0-1 Colombia

The 3rd place match will be Saturday at 8pm between Canada and Uruguay
