I only watched the last 20 minutes of the match. If Argentina was screwed by the VAR, this is a huge shame.

 

The second goal of Brazil starts directly from a possible foul and penalty on Agüero (he gets triped by Dani Alves inside the area). Few minutes later there was a clear elbow of Arthur on Otamendi during a corner. 

 

The first one is debatable (I think it is a pen though). The one of Arthur is an scandal. It's unbelievable that VAR didn't even ask the ref to watch it. 

 

Anyway, my consolation is that I got perfect prediction points from this.

I'm not a fan of football, but I like Messi and he deserves better. It's terrible that he failed to win a major tournament with the national team once again.

 

we are having Copa America almost every year, Messi finally has to win it at some point :d or they will make it twice a year, one in summer, one in winter.

At this point, each side says what's best for them. In Brazil, people say that Agüero intentionally stepped on Daniel Alves' foot before he was elbowed, so they think Agüero should have been sent off and no penalty occurred at all. I believe this specific case is open for debate, but in the end it's all part of the game, I guess.

 

Argentina has Messi, so they shouldn't be grasping at straws once again after not reaching the final. In my opinion, Argentina needs a new coach, someone who is able to completely change the mood of the players and control their clashing personalities.

Stepping on a foot isn't an "auto yellow", especially not if you don't even see who you're stepping on (Aguero didn't see Dani Alves in any moment, he was looking the other way while running).

 

I don't think the coach should go now. The team started to play better last two games and he has found a formation. Changing coach would be starting all over again and there aren't any real great options available for the job. I think he should stay, at least until next year's tournament.

Well, after the next year's edition, we should only have Copa America each 4 years, unless CONMEBOL changes its mind again - which wouldn't surprise me one bit :p

Copa America is being hosted by Argentina and Colombia next year. This will be a good opportunity for Messi to win a title with Argentina.

The last 20 minutes of the first half were disgusting. I was all in for Argentina's revenge, but things didn't turn out to be very pretty. Chile and Argentina couldn't help but fight all the time, Messi was sent off, arguments erupted every five minutes... I know there's a lot of money to be earned by finishing third, but it's disgusting to see players fighting each other instead of playing football. Even when Brazil was 7-0 behind Germany at the 2014 World Cup, our players never resorted to violence or tried psychological tricks on German players.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
