Copa ‘24: Should Have Been a Yellow

[shawnrbu]

Video and audio not in sync.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

God this is a shitshow

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Sound about five seconds ahead of picture for everyone or just me?

Anyone else's audio and video mis-timed right now?

Video and audio not in sync.

Thanks

 

[Ale Xander]

Yup

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Yeah, they lost picture for a second with the audio still going, then the pic came back out of sync.

 

[Catcher Block]

Fans must be shimmying along the AV conduit to get into the stadium.

 

[shawnrbu]

Hopefully the sound issue is fixed before Shakira.

 

[pedro1918]

So now they aren't speaking...

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Yeah they’re clearly aware that there’s an issue

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Is there no way to fix this problem?

 

[67YAZ]

So now they aren't speaking...

Which I’m fine with given this atmosphere.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

I think they got it back

 

[67YAZ]

Macca & Diaz battling it out.

 

[8slim]

Probably not the Dolphins, since they own it, but concerts and other special events, yes.

And as mentioned upthread, soccer in particular is very different when it comes to levels of control. US Soccer went so far as to have our ticket windows use a specific VISA-branded mousepad when they played a friendly at our venue.

Fascinating, thanks!

Have ESPN or CBS carry it?

 

[67YAZ]

High studs, glad this ref is doing his job.

 

[67YAZ]

Does Di Maria has “Mr Pib” tatted across his two thighs?

 

[67YAZ]

Not far off!

Colombia’s high press looks as good as you’ll find in the international game.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Does Di Maria has “Mr Pib” tatted across his two thighs?

It’s Mia and Pia, his daughters.

 

[Ale Xander]

Messi dying

 

[67YAZ]

Messi rolls back into the field. GOAT shit.

 

[Kliq]

Messi log rolling onto the field to make sure play couldn't resume was some classic shit.

 

[shawnrbu]

1 minute?

 

[Merkle's Boner]

1 minute? Messi was down for longer.

 

[trekfan55]

1 minute?

Laughable.

Messi alone was laid out longer than that.

edit: beaten by @Merkle's Boner

 

[Boston Brawler]

lol

 

[Ale Xander]

People are already late over an hour lol

 

[Dummy Hoy]

For some reason, even though they shove the stat down your face, I just realized Lalas has 96 career appearances. You gotta be an asshole for them to not bump you up to 100 with a few friendlies.

 

[Ale Xander]

Shakira halftime show?
Now I see why people climbed up vents

 

[ernieshore]

Don’t fight it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Don’t fight it.

My hips aren’t lying

 

[SoxFanInCali]

One thing I'm not going to miss is these soccer-related Geico commercials.

 

[ernieshore]

Dog Show v Messi - you decide.

 

[Senator Donut]

So IFAB’s Law 7 says halftime should be no longer than fifteen minutes, but Copa decided to do an extra ten tonight because laws are more like guidelines, I guess.

I apologize for saying CONMEBOL is CONCACAF with better players. Our confederation didn’t deserve to be lumped in like that.

 

[67YAZ]

Uh oh Messi. The right ankle again?

 

[Ale Xander]

Messi coming out of the game?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That didn't look great.

This has been a bad day for captains trying to play a full 90 minutes.

 

[67YAZ]

It wasn’t until Messi came to MLS that I full appreciated how hard he plays, how much joy he brings to the game, how much he supports his teammates and how much they love him. A year ago, I wouldn’t have have grasped how much this means to him and how hurt he must really be to walk off the pitch with a half hour to go.

 

[Saints Rest]

I’m thinking/fearing ACL for Messi.
Non-contact injury.
Walking off on his own power.
Tears on the sideline.

He has ice on his ankle. Nothing on his knee.

Just ankle ice at the moment. Hope that’s the extent of it.

 

[67YAZ]

Stepped right on Macca’s ankle. Dang

 

[67YAZ]

Ooohhj, that was tigh

edit Correct call, but the VAR line wasn’t parallel to the top of the box?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Looked off at full speed.

Yeah, pretty clearly. Even USA-Uruguay VAR couldn't have called that onside.

 

[67YAZ]

Incredible deep cross.

 

[67YAZ]

Di Maria just couldn’t find that half yard to get off a shot.

 

[Saints Rest]

Just ankle ice at the moment. Hope that’s the extent of it.

OTOH, that was his injury at end of first half. So might be that the second half incident made that worse, or it’s simply icing the first injury.

 

[InstaFace]

Could go past 11 if there is extra time.

 

[Ale Xander]

No James no mo
