Awesome!!! Thats the coolest thing ever.
Wow Mexico sucks, these guys might not even make it out of the group. Both goals off corner kicks, they need some major help in that area

Venezuela :D
The historically worse team is certainly improved, football wasn't popular in Venezuela, at least compared with baseball or basketball.
Cool stuff!

Yea brazil has some D issues for sure, those goals were all based on defensive mistakes.
If cabanas was on the team Paraguay would have won
- If Pele, Zico, Romario & Ronaldo were on the team Brazil would have won. SO THERE! hahaSoulFly
- actually brazil should have won with what they had on the field.sofakingbanned

Such a shame Concacaf forced Mexico to send teenagers that just met each other recently.
- ellaborate, how come concacaf decided who went?Ambushstudio
- Concacaf forced Mexico to send their best players to the Gold cup to increase revenue from ticket sales.VectorMasked
- Mexico sometimes didn't bring their "A" team to the Goldcup coz Mexico wanted them to go to Copa America.VectorMasked
- But since Mexico is not from the Conmebol (copa america) federation, Concacaf told them that if they wanted to keep going to...VectorMasked
- ...to South America they had to bring a u-22 team. It's basically a team made up of teens and bench warmers.VectorMasked
- It's all about Money and competition level at the Gold Cup. Concacaf openly said this last year.VectorMasked
- Concacaf knows that Mexico cares a little more about Copa America even though Mexico doesn't get points from FIFA in that tourneyVectorMasked
- Mexico cares more about competing with decent rivals like Brazil, instead of jamaica and Guatemala @ the Gold cup.VectorMasked

I agree k_temp, it´s suck a delicate topic as some of us have been waiting for more than 20 years for Argentina to shine as they did in 86, from Batistuta to Caniggia to Crespo to Aymar, we´ve been always waiting for that Messiah like figure that will take argentina to the top again...
I´m not even comparing the players, its that leader we never get, Kempes did it in 78, Diego in 86, sadly I think Messi wont be that guy, at least not until Xavi and Iniesta play in Argentina.
The midfield has always been Argentina´s weak spot, even in the Maradona days that was a problem, I guess Passarela could be a more or less balancing figure there. The only guy that could have done the job to perfection was Fernando Redondo but sadly he got hurt really bad and his career was cut short very early, who knows what will happen; I´m just really sad I wont be able to enjoy this tournament as I though I would.

That was much better, they changed up their formation / tactics for sure.

"i dont think they (Mexico & Brazil) are that far apart actually..." -sofakingbanned
If you really, truly think this... there's not much left to talk about.
- think so? im saying when they play each other. brazil is much better at competitionssofakingbanned
- Oh, OK...
OSFA - btw, did you hear what Hugo Sanchez said? He said that in all America (N,S and C) the ranking of teams is:OSFA
- Brazil, Mexico... the rest.OSFA
- THIS is what I am talking about...OSFA
- He said Mexico is currently 3rd behind Argentina and Uruguay. That's a stretch...sofakingbanned
- If Mexico would have taken a strong side and did well in CA then ok...sofakingbanned
- That's not what he said dude. And still... Delirious...OSFA
- That's what he said last night while I was watching the game, the other commentator asked him to clarify lolsofakingbanned
- SoulFly0
Is it me or is Argentina trying to emulate the Spain jerseys, with the larger shield? I'm pretty sure Adidas deployed it.

Colombia beat Argentina 5-0 once... in Argentina! Yet you don't hear Colombians saying they are better... you have to be realistic and enjoy & support your team for what it is. No need to glorify and create false idols...
- You can't beat a team like Brazil 5-8 times and consider yourself same or superior...OSFA
- well, i currently dont see Brazil beating mexico. do you? thats all im sayingsofakingbanned
- clearly brazil is capable of doing much more against tougher teams and winning cupssofakingbanned

First Half, 1-1, This Copa is really weird, either the big teams are lame or the smaller ones are getting better.
