Superb penalties from Chile. All of them have been quite good.
Sanchez sends Chile through
Brilliant penalties from Chile so far.
sanchez wins it!
Alexis 
First two were top drawer. Vidal's especially.
That might be up there with the best penalty shootout ever from a team, perfect penalties from Chile.
Deserved win too. Vidal is still a beast and Alexis is a lot better than what he's been showing at United
I knew they would take it as soon as Yerry Mina did that stupid celebration

Mina
If we going to keep him then don’t play him as a winger because he isn’t one anymore. Put him as striker or don’t play him.
Yerry Mina should be banned from the national team for a year for that.
Imagine Chile wins it a 3rd time. Would be ridiculous.

A lot of people were tipping Colombia to win the whole thing.
Could Chile seriously win this for a 3rd time? Are they as strong as the previous two winning teams?
Even if they aren't the competition isn't exactly stellar this year so who knows?

Brazil are gonna beat us for sure.
I just hope Chile doesn't win.

So, in the case of a Brazil-Chile final, whom would you be rooting for?
I think Uruguay would beat Chile again in the semi finals.
We just about beat them without Vidal. Our midfield missed Vecino badly and Torreira is also injured, meaning all the remaining ones have an inclination to push forward rather than sit and do the dirty work.
Will show tomorrow vs. Peru, we aren't in a position to try exert any midfield control, which again meant we were better off playing teams that would come at us all guns blazing.
Barrios was excellent again last night. Very underrated, Zenit getting so much for Paredes and replacing him with Barrios was a superb deal.
I thought Colombia was extremely disappointing. They just sat back and didn't even counter attack, just did nothing in 90 minutes.
None of both but it would piss me off less if Brazil wins
Classic Cavani Miss - offside
Nandez skies an easy header - offside
Arrascaeta scores - offside
We are being coached by Pippo Inzaghi

Uruguay aren’t good at all
Feels like there have been more disallowed goals than actual goals in this tournament.
I'm surprised at how good Peru have been defensively. Gareca was always an attack-minded coach, but the past couple of years have shown a more pragmatic side of his that I never expected. I guess that Brazil loss has made him take a cautious approach against a cautious Uruguay side.
They can easily have created more opportunities on the counter, but they barely push up. They've generally played at a slower pace as well, preferring to be more deliberate in possession and less willing to take risks.

Nope. Suarez is past it and our midfield is off balance. Very imprecise.
It's the right way to play us. We are terrible if we have to take the initiative.
Definitely. I can still see Uruguay scoring first as Peru's midfield isn't good at tracking the runners and their full backs aren't that good defensively.
Fingers crossed
Isn't Laxalt a DM? He's had a solid career in Italy so surprised he isn't starting with these injury issues.
Also surprised Nathitan Nandez yet to make it to europe.

He's been playing as a left full/wing back for the past few years. Tabarez prefers Caceres at that role, which is why we haven't seen much of him.
That has to be reviewed, no? Cavani was clearly onside there.
EDIT: I must have missed the Peruvian defender's arm.

I feel like the Copa has used VAR as badly as any tournament has.
Caceres had such an odd but interesting career, signed for Villareal in 2007 but never played. Then Barcelona picked him up and he played 13 times over 3 seasons (in fairness this was their peak Pep side). Has been on loan at Juventus on three seperate occasions. Also made one appearance for Southampton in 2017.
Commentator on Premier Sports is abysmal. Ranting about the linesman putting his flag up late when that is literally what he is meant to do.
It's too bad that Farfan's not available because Cueva's been poor today. They might need to bring on Andy Polo and move Flores into the middle to shake things up.
That Southampton stint is particularly intriguing. He was brought in but never played when I felt that he could have contributed something. He's another one of those players who has a stellar international career yet an underwhelming club one.Caceres had such an odd but interesting career, signed for Villareal in 2007 but never played.

Think he wanted to return to Italy. He has had some terrible injuries in his career aswell looking at his bio.
WTF? 3 goals disallowed? THREE!!!!
Suarez looked onside to me.
That's even closer than the Cavani one, who I thought was also onside even after the review.
That Brazil-Venezuela match was the worst example of VAR. This match is coming very close to it.
EDIT: I'll take it back. That Suarez offside wasn't too bad. The Cavani one, though...that's still contentious to me.
