I'm scared of Neymar breaking his back again from carrying this Brazil team.

Impressed that he made the assist for the winner... Everyone was thinking he would shoot.. Why doesn't brazil have any better striker rhen Tardelli..

We have one, but he's currently sitting on the bench. Thankfully, the coach is aware and signs are pointing towards him replacing Tardelli soon (maybe by the 3rd match).

Anyway... Brazil played badly, but I'm glad they won. But that's not everything, I hope they get better during the competition. We really need Coutinho to recover soon to get rid of this awful Fred.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Colombia has a better front line imo.
Jackson Martinez, Falcao, J.Rodriguez, Bacca and Cuadrado


Completely disagree. Argentina has not just the best front technically, but also trumps in raw number of players on this category.

 

EDIT: I'm really surprised by Paraguay's reaction, but I'm happy at the same time cause it was deserved! Jamaica performed much better than I thought they would too, almost draw with Uruguay.

And I'm pretty excited for tomorrow cause we'll have 2 good games: Colombia and Brazil on the field!

You can disagree with me but the facts are that the Colombian forwards for the past year, have been performing and showing their worth better than Argentinians.

Carlos Bacca for Sevilla, Jackson Martinez has been superb for Porto, James Rodriguez on Colombia and R.Madrid has been excellent, Falcao dropped off but MU is a shitty team nowadays.

Argentina at the moment has no goal scorer if it ain't Messi. Colombia has at least 3, world class.

Plus as a squad, Colombia is a better team than Argentina, la albiceleste has many names on it but no world class team.


Sorry, I also disagree

Argentina is a beast team considering strikers. Messi is obvious, but they also have Agüero (PL top scorer), Tevez and Higuain (3rd and 4th Serie A top scorers with 20 and 18 goals each) and Lavezzi, who is not at that level but certainly is a great player. While none of them is a "poacher", except maybe for Higuain, with that kind of numbers they certainly dont need to be one.

Bacca and Jackson Martinez had great seasons, but Falcao did not (just 4 goals). Besides, while I am certain that Martinez is a beast, he playes in Portugal, not on the same level as La Liga/Serie A/Premier so Im not sure If one could put him above Tevez or Higuain.

The Arg strikers could well be at least top 2 in most, if not all, of Copa America teams

 

Now, I think that except for the strikers, Colombia has a better team than Argentina, but Argentinians Strikers are so good that they could compensate and put Arg in front of Colombia if they play against each other.

Thhe only handicap Colombia got, is their coach. Argentina defense sucks and Jackson playing in Portugal does not mean jack sh*t.

He was one of the highest scorers of Champions League. Playing in big leagues is luck mixed skill friend.

Man Ecuador is such a joke, they can only play decent on their home turf.

3-0 to Bolivia on the first half, ffs.

I know, but playing in big leagues is also a consistency measure for me. Colombia is a better team all arround, but I still stand on the point that Argentina has the best front line(including bench) in the tournament.

 

Ps. Pissed about the Chile-Mexico match, we had at least one more legit goal that was called offside, even if we played like crap in the back we deserved to win >:(
