Alert: The RMBS Copa America 2024 Thread - Predictions & Discussion

For a soccer final with fans of a team that rarely makes a final

Unfortunately you need more than even a superbowl

 

My sympathies for our fellow madridistas who support Colombia. They fought the good fight and had a fantastic tournament. James Rodriguez dialed it back 12 yrs to play like he is in a WC. Absolutely gutted. They played some splendid football and were my pick to go all the way.

In a battle of attrition against Argentina, it was only going to go downhill. Considering all the talent Argentina have on the bench, I can see why they grew more as the game progressed.

Messi is genuinely a handicap for his country these days. He was a passenger and their team were playing with 10 men. Once he came off, Argentina got better and Lautaro Martinez showed up to win. Di Maria is arguably, to me, one of the finest players to play for Argentina. He made some unbelievable tournament runs and he got to go out on top internationally. I can't say Argentina was better, but they found the back of the net, and that is all that matters.

 

Man that was an embarrassment. From the Colombian hordes to the unprepared understaffed security and stadium.

Truly embarrassing and makes people actually sympathetic with Argentina winning

 

Latino gonna Latino

And no, that's not racist.

 

I would marry you, 4x4. Think we would complete each other nicely.

 

Man

2 things

what an embarrassment our fans were. Most of them not real fans but all of the sudden they are passionate enough to crash the gates over and over .

And now FIFA knows they need much more for the World Cup


Also the UBER pick
Up area was 40 mins away from the stadium lol. Surely that’s not a lot of room and time for fans to run into each other and have issues

 

No. I’ve been to a lot of Colombia matches and this has never happened. These wave of “hardcore” fans are all bandwagon fans that are hopping on the “cool thing”. All of the sudden everyone is a fan and posting pics on Facebook. The fans in the area I ended up with didn’t even know who the players were or what position they played but were drunk as hell singing and posting stories on their facebook.

It was like a lifetime event for those people. They had to be there!

a real fan knows that this is all just part of the process

 

I mean, even on a Real Madrid forum is it even a question anymore that Messi is the goat? Not only he's been super successful in terms of tittles, he scored so many goas, has all those assists and also now won a lot of tittles with his country as well.

Neither Cristiano nor anyone can compare with the career he's had. You can prefer other players but the fact that he's the goat is undisputed at this point.

 

Yeah man I had friends that never watch all of the sudden be super fans driving to North Carolina at 2 am to go watch the game and they didn’t even had tickets

Something like this takes over the country and it becomes an I HAVE TO BE THERE moment. It’s more about yourself than the game or the team itself.

The people next to me kept asking me to take pics of them as the match is going on

They ruined it for everyone, even the team who was already emotional and anxious. Having to deal with delays and worries about their families on the stands or outside definitely did not help the less experienced team

 

I don’t know if he’s the GOAT because I don’t have a good rubric to compare him w players from other eras. I think certainly his career has to get the nod over CR’s head to head just by virtue of having won the biggest trophy in sports. Tbh anyone who pretends there’s major daylight between them in terms of quality at their peaks (in either direction) is delusional. I’d probably favor Ron’s club career because he won the CL with different clubs and wasn’t a part of a series of absolutely epic flameouts in that competition. Both just utterly dominant for years. Aliens.

 

Messi needs to retire

he is not fit enough to make it to the World Cup

he’s a part time player in Miami

 

Interesting summer, Yamal is the real deal,

Live I saw a woman in a yellow jersey cheering the Argentina goal

 

How I watched the game

 

Moments with parents matter, get them while you can; my-mother-in-law just had a massive health issue and while she is here, I will never be able to hear her voice again. Keep getting that time in.

 

cool your jets big guy. I will denounce and shame Colombians who did this but Argies were all up in the mix too. ANYONE who does this is ghetto AF and should be prosecuted but don’t start pointing fingers at one group of people.

Even the president of our federation got in an altercation and his son arrested. Incredibly embarrassing

 

I guess so but I always ask myself. How many World Cups would Ronaldo have if he was born in Argentina?

 

Never said Argentinians didn't sneak in... that kind of stuff happens at all events.

What doesn't usuallyhappen is a horde that incites a complete break-in... and that is what Colombians disgraceful did.

If it were Argentinians I would criticize them no differently. Just trying to balanced
