Might as well start a general Footy/Soccer thread

Copa America bump. Entertaining and free flowing game between Chile and Ecuador on right now.

**wolfelot** · 06-11-2015, 08:06 PM

Will have to check out some of those games.

This site is awesome for watching replays of matches if, like me, you don't have tv and rely on watching streams - www.fullmatchesandshows.com

Thanks dude.

Dempsey's gone a bit too far if you ask me. Lengthy ban I hope.

I agree that Dempsey went to far.

But reading about it never gives the full story. I watched the game live. The ref was extremely one sided and was calling everything on Seattle. Plus screwing up calls like Portland's first goal. Or the brad Evans second yellow. Azira was a yellow card at the most. Accidental elbow. No intent just bad luck there. The ref never let the game flow at all.

It was just bad call after bad call and that was the last straw for Clint. He played with passion and watching your team lose due to poor reffing for the second game in three weeks he just imploded.

I see no reason for there to be anymore of a suspension than the one game that comes with the red card. Perhaps a fine but nothing else.

**wolfelot** · 06-17-2015, 11:34 AM

Mehhh nothing to see there. I can't believe I have never seen that before. I got a chuckle. Two games max.

**Grape_Ape** · 06-17-2015, 12:33 PM

Bad refs suck my ass. At that level, there shouldn't be any that bad.

I used to get pretty pumped up in my playing days...but I never ripped up the ref's shit.

1 game suspension and he has to lick Blatter's ballsack. Done.

**PlayItLeo** · 06-17-2015, 02:32 PM

Speaking of refs... It doesn't seem as if the Copa America refs were issued whistles - they're pretty much not calling shit. Brazil v Columbia should be a good game this evening.

**smitchell333** · 06-17-2015, 08:49 PM

Upset by Columbia.

Neymar totally made himself a bitch.

Probably won't play in the tourney again unless they make it to the semis.

**wolfelot** · 06-18-2015, 06:01 AM

Where is there footage of him kicking the ball at the Columbian guy? I saw nothing from him warranting a red, at least on film.

Go to www.fullmatchesandshows.com and click on the fight link. It didn't seem too bad but then I think Neymar headbutted one of the colombianos a bit after he did this.

The guy that got "hit" with Neymar's shot made it look like he got pelted with shrapnel from an exploded cannon. lol

**PlayItLeo** · 06-18-2015, 08:17 AM

Neymar was on the verge of a second yellow all night - looked like the pressure of being Brazil's only option/hope was too much. That red at the end was just stupid, especially from a "captain."

Firmino's empty net miss was brutal.

Just got around to watching Mexico v Chile from the other night, holy shit was that game entertaining!

**smitchell333** · 06-24-2015, 07:52 PM

WTF

Jara from Chile just tried to finger Cavani's ass. Got Cavani a 2nd yellow.

Chile wins 1-0
Yea Chilenos!! Well except for the ass fingerer.

So that's what happened.

I was listening to the game, butt...

**PlayItLeo** · 06-26-2015, 04:42 PM

Argentina v Colombia in about an hour. Should be a really good game. It'll be interesting to see if the ref lets the Colombians hack everything in sight or controls the game early.

Eta: crazy game. Absolutely insane that Tevez didn't take 5th or even 6th penalty. Wtf!?

**Grape_Ape** · 06-28-2015, 11:16 AM

I just watched the extended highlights of the colombia - argentina game. Holy shit. How many crazy saves did the colombia keeper have and goal-line clears? WTF!!??

Watched the brazil - paraguay game in an italian "restaurant" in the hood yesterday. Nice experience for many reasons. Brazil is on it's way out. WTF!!??

That's just fucking crazy.

**Tippster** · 06-29-2015, 06:15 PM

Chile's first goal against Peru might be one of the biggest junk show goals I've ever seen.

**Tippster** · 06-29-2015, 06:53 PM

Holy fuck - own goal for the tie!!!!

**Tippster** · 06-29-2015, 06:57 PM

Am I the only one watching this???? What a goal to go up 2-1!

Love the ladies but the level of play in this match is light years ahead of the Women's WC.
