Hahaha that was just bad.

 

[Fady K]

VAMOS VINOTINTO!!!

Here, get some inspiration from her on how to utterly destroy other nations' best

Oh wow.

 

[Fady K]

What's the Copa América mascot supposed to be? Chinner?

GO VENEZUELA

Venezuela never made it to the semis before right? It would be great for them if they get their first trophy this year.

 

[Regulus Tera]

GOL VINOTINTO FUCKING FINA-OFFSIDE

WAIT WHAT

EDIT: THAT WAS NOT OFFSIDE

 

[StriKeVillain]

What is up with the Univision commentator? Dude is straight up anti-hype.

 

[Big-E]

Robbed. Pure garbage. If I was Venezuelan I would be raging.

GOL VINOTINTO FUCKING FINA-OFFSIDE

My God these dumb refs are screwing the tournament over. Chile also scored an ONSIDE goal in the final minutes of their game and that was ruled off.

 

[jett]

Straight thieving. See Salsashark, now that's shitty refereeing.

 

[Regulus Tera]

haha Da Silva

 

[inky]

Sorry, but it was offside. On the last shot on goal there is a player (Rondon?) who is just in front of the keeper and touches the ball (by accident) before it goes in. By rule he was offside because he participated in the play.

Spoiler

also, first post on GAF ever hehe

 

[Regulus Tera]

goddamn almost had it there

 

[clemenx]

FUCK I CAME HOME AND TURN ON THE TV TO THAT CROSSBAR.

 

[clemenx]

Lol, did you guys see the "Larissa la tenes adentro" sign?

 

[Fady K]

I just hope this doesn't end up like Brazil's game - i.e. Venezuela playing the better game but losing in penalties due to Paraguay's insanely good keeper. Let's hope there won't be penalties in the first place.

 

[clemenx]

I listened to a good 20 mins of the game on the radio while driving. That shit is much more stressful than watching the game, lol.

 

[jamesinclair]

What is up with the Univision commentator? Dude is straight up anti-hype.

My first thought:

Like Mendoza, univison didnt care enough to show up, and sent this one guy all alone.

Reality: When second guy arrived at the studio 20 minutes into the game, sounding like he had literally just run in, it was obvious that there was a problem. Sounds like the main guys are in argentina but missed their flight or something. Looking at the stands, this seems to be a common problem. So univision found whoever was in the miami office that has narrated games before (this guy usually does lesser games on telefutura) and called in the other guy to get to the studio ASAP.

 

[clemenx]

Holeee shit, I didn't even know Rey had made the team.

Fun fact: His nickname here is "El Pokemon"

 

[Regulus Tera]

lol they finally got the other guy to comment on univisión

 

[AndresON777]

fuck I knew there were technical difficulties since I didnt hear la torre de jalisco and his muppet pal bracamontes...

anyways hoping for pks

 

[Madouu]

Not the most exciting of matches for the neutral viewer right now. I hope one team gets to score a goal so we can finally see some action.

Estigarribia in, good sub!

 

[inky]

Looks like another game that will go all the way to the penalties. =/

 

[Fady K]

My God are these games boring. It's all about defending, defending, defending. Most of Copa America was like that.

 

[clemenx]

I hate our DT so much.

 

[dschalter]

My God are these games boring. It's all about defending, defending, defending. Most of Copa America was like that.

leveling the playing field is the name of the game.

 

[Fady K]

we had that goal...

And you should have kept it. It should have been 1-0.

leveling the playing field is the name of the game.

Look at Brazil though, when they last played against Paraguay they were far more entertaining, even though they were not able to convert their chances (damn were they unlucky). Paraguay did not have a single shot on goal!

 

[AndresON777]

the goal cleary bounced off an offside venezolano and went in.

defensive matches suck but this how it is now. even the WC was pretty low scoring.

 

[Noshino]

what's the point of being entertaining if you don't win?...

 

[Fady K]

Eurosport's live commentary summed it up well: "In all honesty this second half has been absolutely dire, no quality, no tempo, no efforts on goal, no entertainment"

 

[clemenx]

We need to be more offensive, we do have the talent to do it. Paraguay has been disappointing as fuck. There's no reason for our 2 forwards being alone on the attack.

 

[Fady K]

what's the point of being entertaining if you don't win?...

You are right, I don't disagree - the point is to win. But what I'm saying is it would be nice if it is won in style.

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

My God are these games boring. It's all about defending, defending, defending. Most of Copa America was like that.

Well the 4 teams that could play offensive football were knocked out in the quarters.

 

[Fady K]

Well the 4 teams that could play offensive football were knocked out in the quarters.

That's the problem, in this copa the main winning style had been achieved through excellent defending for the most part and not much else. It's still a way to win, but it's just, dull to be honest : [

If anything, Uruguay is way more fun to watch than Paraguay. So there is still hope for a fun final.

 

[Fady K]

you shut your whore mouth.

I really hope it doesn't end in penalties, because penalties would equal a guaranteed win for Paraguay. If paraguay wins this, i'd rather they do BEFORE penalties.

 

[alterno69]

And Paraguay could make it to the final with 0 victories lol, what a joke.

 

[clemenx]

What the fuck at that last sub. We have no midfield, lulz.

 

[Regulus Tera]

This match shows why the Bestguay and Worstguay nicknames came up.

Paraguay is just so fucking boring.

 

[Fady K]

A joke it definitely is Chica : [

This match shows why the Bestguay and Worstguay nicknames came up.

Paraguay is just so fucking boring.

YES. Exactly. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Your avatar reminds me - while I'm not a Mexico fan - it would have been great to have THE Mexican team in this Copa. I bet they would have given us many entertaining matches. Stupid CONCACAF rules :/

 

[Noshino]

It must suck for them that their best striker gets injured as soon as he touches the field lol

 

[clemenx]

This whole 2nd half has felt like a giant wasted opportunity, there was no reason for being this passive, Paraguay has shown nothing. I'm so mad.

 

[Fady K]

Paraguay? More like Penaltuay.

 

[scorcho]

this game is...horrible.

 

[Fady K]

SHUT UP SHUT UP I CANT TAKE IT

I hope not man Here's hoping for a solid goal in the extra time.

this game is...horrible.

And to think that this is a semi-final! . This is as boring as football can get :/

 

[Wessiej]

This might be the most horrendous match I have ever seen. My god.

 

[alterno69]

They should have two groups next time and 4 teams go straight to semis, this is terrible.

 

[Altazor]

this match is fucking BORING. Reminds me of that Portugal-Mexico one in The Simpsons, heh.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Goalless after 90 minutes!

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that.

Spoiler

/sarcasm

 

[inky]

Hopefully Venezuela realizes that Paraguay won't bother then offensively and do something about it on the ET.

From Paraguay this kind of game is soooo expected. They have played like this forever.

 

[Regulus Tera]

ParaGAF, what do you have to say about this?

Just fuse both Americas already. Please.

YES. Exactly. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Your avatar reminds me - while I'm not a Mexico fan - it would have been great to have THE Mexican team in this Copa. I bet they would have given us many entertaining matches. Stupid CONCACAF rules :/

I always get the impression that foreigners hold the Mexican National Team in better regard than us Mexicans. :lol

But yeah. We would have been title contenders if we had sent our main team.

It's just that they have been fun to watch, even for a non-fan! Heck, the young U17 team was pretty great too. Any idea why they are not allowed to play for this Mexican team? I never understood that rule :/

Even Costa Rica were title contenders (they were better than Colombia :C), so Im not surprised
