URUGUAY 🇺🇾 VS PANAMA 🇵🇦

INTENSE MATCH, BALANCED GAME FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. URUGUAY ARE MORE DETERMINED AND IMPRESSIVE WITH THE WAY THEY SET UP IN THE GAME AND SO ALSO THEY ARE THE FAVORITE TO TAKE THE WIN. BUT PANAMA SHOWED UP AND CLAMORING THAT THEY ARE UP FOR THE MATCH WITH A GOOD FIGHTING SPIRIT AND A GREAT ENERGY ALL OVER THE PITCH. THE LACK OF TEAM DEPTH AND GOOD QUALITY PLAYED THEM OUT OF THE GAME AS THEY COULD’T BANK ON THE LITTLE CHANCES THEY CREATED WHEREAS THE QUALITY IN THE URUGUAY TEAM PLUS INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE SEE THEM BANG ALL THE THREE POINTS WITH LATE DOUBLE GOALS TO SEAL A COMFORTABLE WIN IN THE OPENER OF THE TOURNAMENT. A GOOD START FOR URUGUAY.

SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 VS HUNGARY 🇭🇺

THE GAME WAS FAVORED TO BE A LIKELY DRAW BUT MIGHT GO EITHER WAYS CAUSE OF THE TWO TEAMS ARE THE WEAKEST ON THE GROUP AND THEY WERE BOTH FIGHTING FOR THE THIRD BEST PLACE. HUNGARY LOOK MORE HUNGRY ON THE ATTACK AND SCOTLAND ARE JUST SLUGGISH ON THE FRONT FOOT, MISSING COUPLE OF BIG CHANCES. ALTHOUGH THEY DOMINATE THE POSSESSION IN GAME BUT CAN’T CAPITALIZE ON THEIR BIG CHANCES AT THE LATER END OF THE GAME AND HUNGARY WITH A COUNTER ATTACK HIT THE BACK OF THE NET, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR QUALIFICATION WE SHALL SEE HOW THAT ENDS. IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY SO FAR FOR HUNGARY AS THEY WILL BE HOPING TO GO THROUGH WITH THAT THREE POINT IN THE BAG.

VERY HOT GAME ON A VERY HOT AFTERNOON IN DORTMUND. SUPER EXPANSIVE FOOTBALL AT ITS FINEST, PORTUGAL VERY STRONG AND ORGANIZED, GOOD ARRANGEMENT BY THE TEAM. PORTUGAL ATTACK VERY EFFECTIVE, MIDFIELD VERY COMPOSED AND THE DEFENSE VERY SOLID. IN EVERY DEPARTMENT ALL THE PLAYERS UNDERSTAND THEIR ASSIGNMENT. TURKEY INABILITY TO HOLD POSSESSION COUNT AGAINST THEM. TOO MANY FOULS GIVEN AWAY AND A LITTLE MISTAKE TO CONCEDE THE 2ND GOAL KNOCK THEM OUT OF THE GAME. TURKEY WERE DESTABILIZED AND DISJOINTED, NOTING GOOD TO WRITE ABOUT THE OUTING BUT NEED TO PULL THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND GO STRONG IN THE NEXT GAME TO GALVANIZE AT LEAST A POINT TO QUALIFY. IT WAS A GIVE OR TAKE WIN FOR PORTUGAL. VAMOOOOOOS PORTUGAL, THAT IS A STATEMENT WIN.

A VERY LOW PERFORMANCE COUPLE WITH LOW QUALITY GAME. CHILE RUN THE SHOW BY DOMINATING POSSESSION OF THE GAME BUT LACK QUALITY IN FRONT OF GOAL BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY PERU THAT HAVE THE BEST CHANCE IN THE GAME AND THE LACK ON GOOD QUALITY MAKES THE GAME FINISH A GOALLESS DRAW. BOTH TEAMS COULDN’T BREAK THE DEFENSIVE PATTERN OF THE OTHER TEAM. BOTH TEAM STRUGGLED DEFENSIVELY AND ATTACKING WISE. BY VIEWING THIS GAME WITH A BINOCULAR LENSE IT IS A LOW LEVEL GAME NOWHERE NEAR AVERAGE, BOTH TEAM LOOK LANKY AND SHAKY BUT HOPEFULLY THEY GET ON TRACK FOR THE NEXT MATCH.

INTERESTING MATCHUP BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS. BREAKING FROM DEFENSE STRAIGHT TO ATTACK. ROMANIA VERY PHYSICAL, PRESSING VERY HIGH UP AND DOWN THE FIELD. GOOD TEAM SPIRIT WITH HIGH AGILITY. ROMANIA NOT SHY AWAY FROM PLAYING SOME GOOD FOOTBALL. WHAT A TEAM THEY HAVE BEEN SO FAR. BELGIUM A VERY ATTACKING AND DEFENSIVE TEAM. WHAT A GREAT GAME TO WATCH. BELGIUM RAN THE SHOW ALL THROUGH WITH THE DIFFERENCE TO BE THE QUALITY OF THE TEAM AND THEY RAN AWAY WITH THE POINT IN THE BAG. EVEN THOUGH ROMANIA LOST THE GAME THEY HAVE TO BE VERY PROUD OF THEIR PERFORMANCE SO FAR, NEVER SHY AWAY FROM PLAYING AND WITH ONE MORE GAME TO GO THEY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING TO PROVE. THIS GROUP IS A GROUP TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE LAST GAME.

COPA AMERICA GROUP A MATCH OVERVIEW 🇦🇷 VS 🇨🇦

• CANADA PUT IN A VERY SOLID PERFORMANCE IN A VERY INTENSIVE MATCH, HIGH LEVEL, MOUTH WATERING MATCH AGAINST A VERY GOOD OPPONENT IN ARGENTINA. PLAYED TRANSITION FOOTBALL, CREATING SOME GOOD CHANCES BUT RECENT FORM OF CANADA NOT SCORING A GOAL STILL FOLLOWING THEM AS THEY COULDN’T BANG THEIR CHANCES. ITS JUST A MATTER OF WHEN BEFORE ARGENTINA WILL HIT THE BACK OF THE NET WHICH THEY DID IN THE EARLY STAGE OF THE SECOND HALF AND ANOTHER IN THE LATER STAGE OF THE HALF. THE QUALITY OF ARGENTINA WILL DEFINITELY GET THEM OVER THE LINE TO GET ALL THE SPOIL. GOOD GAME FROM BOTH SIDE AND WHAT A START TO A GREAT TOURNAMENT.

ALBANIA 🇦🇱 VS 🇪🇸 SPAIN

ALBANIA DIG SO DEEP BUT COULDN’T BREAK THE BACKBONE OF SPAIN DEFENSE LINE, THE QUALITY OF THE ALBANIA DOESN’T EVEN MATCH THE SPANISH TEAM THAT FIELDED 10 NEW PLAYERS FROM THE BACK UP TO THE FIRST TEAM. ALBANIA SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR JOURNEY SO FAR BECAUSE THEY GOT THEMSELF IN A VERY TOUGH GROUP AND THEY COVER THEMSELF IN GLORY WITH CONCEDING LESS GOALS AND GOING OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT BY A POINT WHICH IS JUST GOOD FOR A TEAM WITH NO RECENT TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE BUT DEFINITELY GOING FORWARD THEY WILL COUNT ON THIS EXPERIENCE FOR FUTURE COMPETITIONS. SPAIN ALREADY QUALIFIED HAD TO ROTATE THE ENTIRE SQUAD TO HAVE FRESH LEGS FOR THE NEXT ROUND. GENERALLY NOT A GREAT GAME AS SPAIN JUST WANT WIN AND END STRONG IN THE GROUP.

COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 VS 🇵🇾 PARAGUAY

AN AGGRESSIVE, FIERCE, CRUEL, BRUTAL, BRILLIANT, IMPRESSIVE, EXPANSIVE FOOTBALL MATCH. BOTH TEAM ARE DOWN FOR THE WIN RAISING THE ENERGY LEVEL HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. COLOMBIA DOMINATED AND CONTROL MOST PART OF THE GAME AND GOT A REWARD OF TWO GOALS IN THE HALF TIME. BOTH TEAM WERE BARKING AT EACH OTHERS ALL THROUGH WITH GOOD PRESS, GOOD PLAY AND GOOD DEFENSIVE/ATTACKING COMBINATION. COLOMBIA GOT THE WIN AND THEY WILL BE SATISFIED WITH IT. PARAGUAY WILL LEARN FROM THIS DEFEAT AND TRY TO GET ON TRACK FOR THE NEXT GAME. OVERALL IT WAS A VERY GOOD GAME TO WATCH FULL OF ACTIONS. STILL LONG WAY TO GO IN THIS TOURNAMENT.

PORTUGAL DOMINATED THE GAME AS EXPECTED. PORTUGAL QUALITY IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR CZECH TO HANDLE, THEY CAN’T EVEN GET OUT OF THEIR SHELL BUT CZECH FAST RECOVERY TO MAKE A LOW BLOCK AFTER EVERY LOST OF POSSESSIONS REALLY HELP THEM TO HANG ON FOR LONGTIME IN THE GAME. PORTUGAL BUILD UP MOVEMENT ON THE BALL IS FROM SLOW TO FAST MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR CZECH DEFENDERS TO CONTAIN. PORTUGAL TIDY UP THE WIN THROUGH ERRORS BY THE CZECH DEFENDERS AND THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE ON A MATCH DAY THAT ONE TEAM DOMINATED THE GAME AND THE OTHER TEAM TRY TO SUCK UP AND HIT ON A COUNTER ATTACK.
