Guerrero was available on a "free" this window, since Corinthians didn't renew his contract (they are having economical difficulties). I was surprised no European team was after him, he went to Flamengo in the end.

Happens over and over again. One thing is having the skills, but you need the attitude, the discipline, the work ethic... That's one thing I always found exceptional about CR7.
Guerrero is closer to the norm than Cristiano, discipline/work ethic and talent seem to have an inverse correlation, unfortunately. Not for Germans, of course, you are complete freaks.
Speaking of wasted talent, Valdivia is leaving Palmeiras and going for a second tour to the Emirates (Al Wahda).
Did very well there, backed at well over Evens and cashed out because I feared Bolivia would score a consolation goal - which they did.
Great profit on that game. I don't think I'm going to touch Copa America again, I see no value in Argentina v Colombia and Brazil v Paraguay at all and I'm not even sure Chile will find it easy against Peru who have been brilliant so far.
Oh, Flamengo fans are in for a treat, very much the sort of player they will love. An aging forward who was different class, who was their last one? Petkovic?
I lived in Rio 2000-2003 BTW.
I could see Peru upsetting the hosts, they are a feisty team and there's of course a massive rivalry, they sure would suffer more than us having to put up with their next-door neighbours for four years.
Not as good as us defensively, but have more to their game going forward particularly on the counter which is what you need against the remaining favourites.
As ever, I support the underdog, Go Peru!
I don't know mate, I reckon a bloke fingering my arsehole would provoke a violent instinctive reaction from me.The pace Peru play at is incredible. They remind me of Leicester, everything they do is so rash and done at amazing speed but if they can pull it off then it becomes very difficult to defend against. Obviously I've only had 4 games to base this on, one of them against very poor Bolivia team and one of them they actually lost but I've been pretty impressed with them and wouldn't be certain about Chile beating them (though I still have Chile as favourites to win the tournament which would be good achievement for a team that impressed so much over the last two World Cups).
They also managed to put a very good defensive shift when it mattered against Colombia.
Very elegant player, surprised he's never made any impact in Europe and only managed about 20 appearances, for two very weak sides when he was still very young. Playing in Asia paid him well but he still has to get the feeling that he missed out a bit.
I just caught up on the 2 QF's last night, Chile and Uruguay was an ugly game, Cavani acted the tit all match and was lucky not to see red for his shoulder push on the linesman, however the second yellow was unlucky and now I see Jarra is a crack addict, I'm surprised Cavani didn't punch him. Between the fingerer and Vidal DUI I no loner want Chile to win, of what's left I guess Argentine wil be my choice given the United concretion.
Peru were comfortable winners over Bolivia and Guerrero's ha-trick and magnificently silly hairstyle were the stars of the night. I actually saw him play for his Brazilian club a few weeks ago and now apparently he's left for free as they didn't pay him which is a disgrace when the man clearly has hair grooming bills that will need paying.

Game 21: Argentina - Colombia
Falcao dropped at last.
Is this not on UK TV anywhere?
If anyone has a decent stream i'd be much obliged.
It's on Premier Sports, some Sky channel that no one has.
stream
James is playing in central midfield for this match. It looks like Pekerman's had no choice but to go for him there. I wonder if that move'll work out for him, though, in the end, seeing as James is more comfortable in the middle.
Rojo missing the first big clear chance for Argentina
What a superb touch by Messi there when he controlled the overhead ball whilst fending off a defender.
Di María is fecking useless.
Who is this commentator on Bein Sports? 'Reads Di Maria like a nursery book'. ffs.
Ray 'majesteeerial' Hudson. If you don't know about him you will if Messi scores.
That's a clear pen
I already feel I know too much. 'Rodriguez spinning verbal like Mussolini at the balcony'. What is wrong with this guy and why does he take so long so say a sentence?
Messi has noticed and is playing more central hoping to overwhelm the lone Colombian DM (also dealing with Pastore) and get running at the backline.
Cuadrado looks sharp.
Messi simulates every time, deserves a yellow or a red
Him and Aboutreika are the two biggest misses by Europe in the past decade.
Otamendi is such a monster in the air
This ref is giving nothing but 100% fouls. Its like he's from the 80's.
so far got right all the big calls...
The refs toooooo bad
A spirograph analogy? Jesus.
Congrats to the referee who doesn't fall on Argentina's simulations
exactly.
wow Ospina!
