Colombia..James Rodriguez might be the best player on set piece deliveries right now in the world.

[@MichaelTalksFootball1]

James is insane right now!

[@matthaley2129]

People keep saying Canada got lucky to have opponents getting reds twice. This team frustrates their opponents. They are fast and physical and composed. They force opponents to take bad fouls and get emotional.

[@alecabg4350]

Hey! As always some amazing analysis. Your Darien comments remind me of a meme in Colombia right now haha they say: "If we win, annex Panama back". Just a little correction, when you say Borré, it sounds like you say Borje (Borja is another striker in our squad who hasnt played a minute in the copa as of yet). It's pronounced Bore-ray (with rolled Rs but that's just semantics hehe)

[@MichaelTalksFootball1]

[@alecabg4350]

@@MichaelTalksFootball1 haha Dont worry about it. It's not a big deal, im only mentioning it because for a second I got confused with Borja. The "Gran Colombia" memes are everywhere right now! A lot of love and affection being shared by Panameñans, Colombians, Ecuatorians, and Venezuelans... regardless of the result we're all having. a great time, and if Colombia doesn't win I hope one of them does.

[@MichaelTalksFootball1]

@@alecabg4350 Simon Bolivar would be proud lol!

[@ldbsdk]

I agree with your analysis and picked the same 4 winners in Arg, Venz, Col, and Urug- the only difference would be if the games end in draws and go to penalties. Love your comment about Panama, which was part of Colombia, until another country wanted a canal built..lol. I do not get the criticisms about the draw because if you win your group, you get the second place team in the next group, its that simple. Had Brazil won their group then they would have gotten an easier game in Panama; and Mexico and Chile were expected on the Arg side. The 2 biggest team following are Arg and Brazil, so it makes sense for a draw to have them possibly playing in the finals only...but look foward to these games, followed by a possible Arg vs Uru finals....

[@Wladislav]

1) I doubt Messi will start vs Ecuador. I think he'll be on the bench and only come on in the second half if/when necessary. We may see Alvarez and Lautaro starting together. 2) Venezuela vs Canada should be a banger. Canada with its high pace and directness, but without great goalscoring vs Venezuela with its all-round solidity. 3) Colombia should crush Panama. Colombia are so damn good. 4) Uruguay didn't look that great vs the USA, but then it was one of those games they didn't have to win. This may be a very 50/50 type game. Although I do think that if Brazil doesn't start well, they will collapse due to the negative vibes around the team. I hope Dorival is brave and starts Savio and Endrick.

[@ChrisE-iy7ok]

not only that about uruguay, the us played against them just like brazil have to play against them with intensity from the start, that intensity and energy was the only reason why uruguay did not win by 3-0 or more

[@richardthompson3346]

@@ChrisE-iy7ok If Brazil do that they will lose just like the US did. Brazil have to win it by playing their "beautiful" game. You do not play Uruguay physically because you wil lose 95% of the time. Ask anybody who knows about South American soccer and they will tell you the same thing.

[@tjkong6096]

Michael i been tell everyone that Brazil biggest problem is the midfield and Danilo they can't get the ball to the foward players. I watch paqueta hold the ball so long when he could release Vinicius or Raphina he keep spinning on the ball the midfield has no control

[@richardthompson3346]

In the past teams would cross over to the other bracket for the knockout rounds. This year they changed it so Argentina didn't face Brazil Uruguay or Colombia in the group stages and the organizers fixed it so they wouldn't have to meet a tough opponnent until the final. By then the other 3 contenders would have beat each other up.

Vinicius junior was fouled in the box versus Columbia. Brazil have a better combined 11 than Uruguay, only Federico Valverde and Darwin Núñez are likely to make a combined eleven for both teams Brazil has advances in attack, midfield defense and goalkeeper. Maybe Uruguay has advantage in coach too

[@TheOnlyTaps]

Bring on the KO round 🙌🏿🔥 Ecuador could cause an upset but they've been playing in second gear thus far. Will be interesting to see if they are able to go up a gear. Likewise Brazil with their current fofm are going to get HANDLED by Uruguay but have the tools to cause an upset if they are able to actually get their midfield going.

@@TheOnlyTaps Brazil have the players to hurt Uruguay but the way Uruguay play can be a big problem for Brazil! The midfield needs to step up
