[Desperado]

Missing Crépeau…

 

[Desperado]

Oh, Canada… ?

 

[quartz]

Nooooo…
This is has been a very bad day.

 

[Buzz]

My poor old lady heart has been broken! But this team allowed me to dream for the first time ever! I am so proud of them! We have proven that we belong among the best!

 

[Desperado]

Maybe tomorrow we’ll find out why so many top players were on the bench.

Still bodes well for 2026.

 

[Buzz]

Copa America final is up next at 8pm!

 

[Desperado]

Copa America final delayed by 30 minutes due to gate issues (gates weren’t opening, people started forcing they’re way in, some without +$1,500 tickets) can’t understand all the spanish tweets but many are calling this disgusting and a disaster due to the lack of security, especially in view of USA hosting the World Cup in 2026 along with Mexico.

Toronto and Vancouver are also hosting games and good luck to them (costs are obscene).

Sports Illustrated now saying the game is delayed “until further notice”.

 

[Desperado]

Kick Off scheduled for 9:15pm. Let’s see if it holds.

 

[quartz]

They are saying 9:15 kick off now.

I missed the Wimbledon men’s final, and the Euro Cup final, as we were out all day with family. I was really looking forward to coming home and watching this. Don’t know how long I can actually stay up. Sounds like a huge shitshow down there.

Julie DiCaro is reporting on Bluesky that CONMEBOL declined Miami Dolphins’ security and help from CONCACAF in hosting the event.

It’s a go!

 

[quartz]

Ugh. I’m ready for bed. This better be an exciting match or I’m not gonna make it.

 

[Buzz]

Scoreless at halftime. But there is a halftime show featuring Shakira. I just want the game to resume. LOL

 

[Desperado]

There were rumors the show was to be 25min long. It thankfully wasn’t.

Let’s go!

 

[quartz]

Husband has no clue who Shakira is.

 

[Buzz]

An injured Messi has been substituted. He looks crushed. Still scoreless

 

[Buzz]

Argentina goal ruled offside

 

[Buzz]

Colombia FK hits the wall. Eight minutes to go. Unless something changes we maybe heading to another PK shootout. I honestly liked the 3rd place game better

 

[Buzz]

The last time Colombia lost a match was several years ago during the last Copa America final against this same Argentina team. Quite the history.

It’s a go!

Yeah sounds about right. And it showed too. Hopefully we will not see these problems in two years time.

 

[Buzz]

Penalty kicks

 

[Buzz]

Hey now!!! It’s extra time! Funny that!

 

[Buzz]
