I read there is no extra time in QFs or Semis? Straight to pens after 90.

Everything is suppsoe to take place in a bubble right? That's crazy, but it is what happens when you have the tournament in the worst country COVID wise in all of South America. Should have moved it to Florida Disney world has a whole sporting complex.

Beyond that there could have been real crowds too.

yup, straight to pens after 90 in QF and SF

yup, straight to pens after 90 in QF and SF

I don't know what I think about that. Ecuador likely to park the bus for 90 minutes and hope for penalties. Will be the same for Brazil's opponents all the way to the final.

Wow this is pretty bad for Argentina and Brazil.

Yeah, in the 2019 Copa edition, all QF matches except for the one of Argentina went to penalty shootout.

Hopefully, Argentina will not need to go to one.

These warmup group games have at least shown that Argentina are capable of starting off good and taking the lead in the first half.

Most of the games didn't look close either. I thought Argentina deserved to win every game. Uruguay was the toughest.

Pretty confident they can reach the final, as long as they don't kick penalties.

 

[Horatio]

Wasn't Paraguay the toughest? Think they came back strong in second half and Argentina might have been lucky they didn't draw if my memory of the game serves me.

Think Argentina had a better grip over the game against Uruguay.

For me, Paraguay was the toughest. In the 2nd half, the team had a hard time bringing out the ball from its own half

I think the double pivot of Guido and Paredes contributed a lot to that imo

No penalties is a big no-no. It rewards parking the bus for the lottery ticket.

Yeah, I don't see how this is positive for spectators. Teams will play extremely carefully.

Peru Paraguay is currently 2-2. Paraguay scored the equaliser while down to 10 men.

Conmebol knows best
