Argentina 2 Canada 0

Canada played much better than anticipated an should have scored 2 goals of their own.

In reply to nitro

I was impressed with Canada. Since this is the same Canada team that the Reggae Boyz beat, we should beat Argentina easily

In reply to FanAttick


We wish! Reggae Boyz midfield got lost in the Bermuda Triangle it seems or Grimmy never learned the importance of the midfield in coaching school.

I was thinking the same and we lost 2-0 against Canada and really should have scored in the first few minutes,we ended losing 2-0 didn't really tell the true story of the match.Now I am hoping the Boyz have everything in order and pull off a good result for the whole Caribbean,I don't expect a win but a 2-1 loss or a draw would be brilliant,we can dream about a win.

I saw that match argentina defence was terrible canada should have gotten a couple of goals but argentina also wasted some very good chances to increase their score

In reply to velo

Peru 0-0 Chile
Venezuela 2-1 Ecuador

That has to be an upset, surely....isn't baseball more popular than football in Venezuela?

And in the USA!

USA 2-0 Bolivia
Uruguay 3-1 Panama

In reply to mikesiva

I was worried at the start for Panama but they came back in to the game only for Nunez to to score 1 of his 100 chances

In reply to nitro

Costa Rica has done Concacaf proud. Brilliant defensive performance and counterattacking football against the Brazilians. Given the youthful nature of this team the Reggae Boyz will have a fight on their hands to gain automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup

In reply to FanAttick

Oh Canada!!!

In reply to nitro

Colombia 2-1 Paraguay
Brazil 0-0 Costa Rica

Canada will lose to Chile on Saturday and will be eliminated from the competition.

Damn brazil what is going on .ronaldinho is right about this current squad lacking depth and leadership

In reply to imusic

Ecuador 3-1 Jamaica
Venezuela 1-0 Mexico

The Boyz may not have won a match yet but may still do so,maybe a draw,most of all is the experience they are getting omong such company,use that $2 million dollars wisely.Jamaica is stepping up and we in the Caribbean should be happy about their success.They are the only team in the Caribbean that can give anybody in CONCACAF a "run for their money".Fight on Boyz!

In reply to granite

Let us hope they use this money to develop the football and not pocket it.

In reply to mikesiva

Jamaica is the first team to be eliminated .....

In reply to velo

4 Like/type forwards no True Center Forward until they let Enrique play more minutes. Missing 2 of their true Defensive starters. No real offensive midfielder/playmaker. Need any more info?

In reply to FanAttick
Two shots on goal all match on a simple Brazil team is making folks cheer? If they had the same 20 shots like Brazil I woulda say ok.

In reply to Scar

Panama 2-1 USA
Uruguay 5-0 Bolivia

In reply to FanAttick

Indeed!!!
They deserved this victory after the keeper screwed up in regulation...he redeemed himself

In reply to FanAttick

Yes...Yes Canada...on PKs over Venezuela to reach the Semi final ..
Oh Canada !!! Indeed after so many misses in reegular and OT.
CONCACAF has a say .

In reply to ray

He did. What joy and Relief !!!

It is more true about Venezuela more so than Panama. Don't forget that Panama men's national football team qualified for the FIFA World Cup in 2018.

In reply to hubert

Happy for my Canadian brethren…hopefully Panama can pull off a miracle too….Concacaf all the way!

In reply to FanAttick

With Costa Rica and Panama displaying solid mettle, the warning to Jamaica is clear for 2026 WC.
At the moment Yard is behind the 8ball to qualify and their house is not in good order.
If T&T can get their football together, I see them being favored over Yard for that coveted
spot for CONCACAF with USA,Mexico and Canada already there as hosts.
I do not have much confidence that the Yard will qualify; the same clowns are in the Front Office
and in charge and any new coach will be swimming upstream all the way.
Other countries even smaller ones in the Eastern Caribbean are making strides in their game
and outlook and Central Americans Guatemala and Honduras are sure to offer stiff
competition when things heat up.
Yard better get its s....t together .

In reply to mikesiva

Bravo Uruguay,I always make it a point that Uruguay is a tough bunch of footballers and difficult to beat on their day.I always think that Jamaica and other Caribbean countries should employ Uruguayan coaches.We would all learn to defend like giants,and that has been our downfall for years especially TT.Our natural attacking instincts will just need some minor adjustments.

In reply to hubert

Yard has a very good bunch of players and it should never be difficult to make them matchwinners against any Central American team,I can't understand their bad showing against teams in the COPA America,look how well Canada did, the same team that Jamaica came from behind to beat after being 2 down.That's a result that makes any football fan reflect on as a great victory,that victory alone boaded well for their COPA America,It's a surprise for me and I'm sure for many others,especially Jamaicans.Maybe Jamaicans who are in the know will be more than able to explain the problems.

In reply to granite

Jamaica has the talent to be among the top 4 in CONCACAF.

But there are too many issues, sometimes too many at the same
time ,that leaves everyone bemused as some of these issues are
very elementary and usually emanate from the leadership.

Until things are set on a consistent even keel, Jamaica's football
will remain an enigma with lots of ' what ifs'.

Im crying brazil estou chorando

In reply to velo

Me estoy riendo!

In reply to hubert

ISSUES,that seems to be the same with TT.I read the TT football website and really cannot understand why so many issues,football-wise some pointing at officials,I also read the Reggaeboyz site and it seems the same.I still wish and hope if one of our countries qualify for 26 I'll be very happy,if 2 qualify I will be "over the moon".

Great effort Canada! That ref...

In reply to nitro

Steupes. Come on man. Canada were never REALLY in that game.

They got chances near the end because Argentina knew they had already won the match and their defenders were playing flicks and back heels etc IN THEIR OWN PENALTY AREA and lost the ball.

Argentina did what they needed to do to win the game and no more.

And you and Canada’s commentators talking about the ref. They didn’t say a word about the ref when Peru went down to 10 men early in the 2’d half

They had nothing to say when Chile went down to 10 men midway through the first half on an extremely questionable call. Even before that red card, a Canadian defender blatantly elbowed a Chilean in the face and didn’t even receive a yellow (that was an immediate red card).

Canada and their commentary team cry all tournament. They scored 2 goals in 4 matches despite being a man up in 2 of those matches. They beat a Venezuela that is lower than them in the rankings on penalties.

They overachieved for sure……but they were also extremely lucky

In reply to imusic

Canadians love to cry Ref...look when Raptors play

Columbia v Uraguay was real intense...!
What a game

In reply to ray

Semi finals
Argentina 2-0 Canada
Colombia 1-0 Uruguay

In the final, Argentina beat Colombia 1-0 to win the Copa a record 16th time!

In reply to mikesiva

They deserved it. Colombia gave them a real tussle and had much
the better of it in the first half.They just lacked finishing power
and failed to attempt shots to from 50/50 situations.

And they ran out of ideas late in the game.
A 16th crown is no easy feat and they,not Brazil are the real football kings of South America.

More critical though is that great delay of over 90 minutes caused by a breakdown in security
with non ticketed folks breaching the gates to gain entry making for a sad state of affairs.
This will not be lost on FIFA who has earmarked this stadium for important games in the 2026
World Cup. A lot will be heard from the governing body in days to come .Not good visuals at all.

This was crazy...real crazy
