2016 Copa America

No reason why it should not be in place by the 2018 World Cup. Heck they can even test it out next year at the 2017 Confederations Cup

Absolutely. There's no excuse for not already having it instituted, but FIFA has never been proactive about doing the right thing. I mean, Sepp fucking Blatter was allowed to remain president of FIFA for how many years while everyone and their dog knew he was dirty?

This will be the play that brings video replay to soccer. Hopefully they do better with it than MLB has.

Man that was a clear handball. I really hope they have video review for plays like that by the 2018 WC

Yep. Could have had that reviewed and correctly called faster than it took the ref tonight to make a decision and fight off players yapping in his ear. Talk about losing control

Where was Haiti and Ecuador playing? That turf looks awful.

MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford where the final is

The review system should also be used for offsides. Seen far too many goals allowed when someone was offsides.

I think that's a slippery slope.

In real time, it looked like it went off his thigh. Can't blame the ref when there is no video replay to use.

Hate to see a team get knocked out like this. That dirty little Peruvian should have confessed that it hit his arm/hand.......honest players do that.

No player in soccer would willingly admit to that. Not on that stage. You know better.

Maradona scored the "hand of God" goal in '86 and he's still considered a legend (with a salacious appetite for coke and whores). Hand ball goals are a part of the game and folk lore. Sports are imperfect and always will be with or without replay.

Ecuador is no slouch and been playing well for a good stretch. They often play the best, can't sleep on them.

I live in Argentina... their is small segment of population here that loathes him and his hand of God moment... but for the most part he is revered... He is a true parasite in that the government supports him (for no reason). Maybe that changes with new president elected last year, he is trying to clean things up.

No one in Argentina is crying for Brazil

Di Maria once again injured in Cup... that makes 3 in a row he will not be around for Semi and Finals (if they get that far this Cup). World Cup 2014 (lost final to Germany), Copa America 2015 (lost final to Chile in Chile) and now Copa America 2016.

With Di Maria, I could easily see Argentina lifting the Cups in 2014 and 2015... presently I think they come up short again in 2016 (somehow).

Yeah, Brazil manager might get fired lane Kiffin style.

Dunga will survive through the Olympics due to his contract I heard. After that all bets are off and he is gone.

Didn't the Real Madrid manager at the time told Di Maria not to play in the world cup? Why should I feel sorry for him for being an idiot?

 

[redseat]

Wow just saw the Brazil V Peru math and holy crap that is a HAND BALL... EASY call, Hand ball!

[bksballer89]

LMAO @ Mexico.

If this score holds up they finish 2nd in their group and are likely facing Argentina

 

[bksballer89]

My god. The best 2 saves of the tournament

 

[bksballer89]

This game is getting ugly. I'm expecting a all out brawl at the end of the game

World Class goal by Mexico to tie the game
