I disagree. This has been one of the worst Copa Américas I remember: worse than 2021's, and possibly the worst since 2001. I hope it gets better in the knockout stages, but I doubt it.

semi finals:

:ARG: :VEN:
:COL: :URU: (potentially the best match to watch in the tournament)

final:

:ARG: :URU:

champion:

:URU:

PS: if Colombia wins Uruguay, Colombia will be the champion.

Uruguay is clearly the best team after Argentina but I still believe Brazil will find a way to win against them. On the other hand we got such an easy path to the final it's funny, like Brazil's in 2021. Conmebol really needs to rethink their bracket system!

1A - 2D
1C - 2B

1D - 2A
1B - 2C

Sounds much more logical than what they have been doing so far.

It is a matter of time to rest between matches.

if you have 1A against 2D in the first leg, you have one team resting for 5 days and other resting only 2 days.

Absolutely shameful game today. The team forgot how to play in the second half, Ecuador could've easily won the game.

Messi disappeared today, if Scaloni has balls he shouldn't start vs. Venezuela/Canada. Nico González shouldn't play in this National Team anymore, I'm tired of him. And does anyone know what happened to Enzo and Lo Celso? And Otamendi has always been bad, don't get fooled by his 2021-2022 season. Scaloni's substitutions were awful today too.

Once again our team relays in the hands of Dibu Martínez. Any more doubters?

I grew up with a losing Argentina. Amazing teams, but at the first tough match, they'd head back home. Brazil always outplayed us, any European team, you name it. Brazil would send their B team to the Copa América and beat us effortlessly. We'd go to the World Cups knowing that at the first challenging match, we'd be out. I'm going to savor every joy from this generation for that kid who always saw us knocked out in the quarterfinals. I'm afraid that we are getting used to the extraordinary.

This is how Argentina should be! Not like it was for the past 30 years. This is what history always demanded; Argentina has been a winning team since its inception. 15 Copa Américas, 3 World Cups, the two greatest players of all time—that is Argentina. People often feel nostalgic remembering the good times, but today I have a different kind of nostalgia: the nostalgia of knowing that the past is finally dead, and Argentina is, again, living in the present.

I really hope we win this tournament.

Oh my God! Colombia to the final!

This is historical, they've played amazingly. 28 games unbeaten! Bye bye Uruguay...

Would be great if James manages to win something with Colombia. He deserves it.

He 100% deserves it, he is undoubtedly the MVP of this Copa. I cried a little when I saw him cry in the post-game interviews; Amazing player and a person for whom I have a lot of respect. Nonetheless, we are still going to win this, it doesn't matter how. :P

I think the United States this weekend gave us some indications that it definitely does not handle security and event organization very well. :?

I hope no one gets hurt outside of the stadium. This was by far the worst Copa América I remember, and it was almost entirely the USA fault.

I'm happy Lautaro finally shown how good he is in the national team but Colombia played very well and had dubious refereeing decisions against, I felt kinda sad for them
