Copa America madness last night as the United States fought like crazy and despite being down a man for big chunk of the match held on 1-0 with some great defense.

The more shocking matter was Colombia losing 2-3 to Costa Rica. Colombia had its eye on the knock out stage and took the result for granted and Costa Rica battled to win.

With that the United States win the group! I will eat bit of crow here as once again we saw all three US this group stage. The nervous and timid, the efficient, and the grind out a result.

Now to see if we play Brasil, Ecuador, or Peru based on matches today.

In no way am I suggesting that the English were the agitators - sorry if it came across like that. The way they behaved in the stadium is typical for them (we knew what it means "to take the English leave", now we know what it means "to take the Russian leave" ). That's how they behaved during Euro in Poland as well. What surprised me, was that the British and Russians are so willing to fight against each other. Wasn't aware of this level of animosity.

England has fans, or more likely followers, that are prepared to fight, that's undeniable. But when I see posts like Kerotans above it irritates me. The vast majority of England fans are like any other as evidenced by what happened in the stadium when russian thugs attacked families and normal supporters.

I know what you feel. Got pissed as well when that idiot Hollande pointed to Polish fans as potentially biggest dangers of the tournament. In the meantime...

What can you do. Ignorants gonna be ignorant.

Apparently, it's no longer a penalty when you play with your hand in the penalty box. Also, it's beyond me how these butchers haven't received a single yellow card. The ref is beyond terrible. I hope we score earny in the second half, cause we're totally dominating the Irish.

Or France could get itself a police force that throws everyone who misbehaves in prison for the duration of the cup.

I never understood the concept of punishing the teams for the behavior of some hooligans. It's not like they can do anything about it and they're the ones who worked hard to be at the tournament. Disqualifying them for the incompetence of french security sounds ludicrous.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
