Too be fair, it was a weekday. If Canada were to play a Copa America game on a weekend in Detroit or Seattle there would be a lot more travelling...
There are a bunch of players who could skip the 2015 Copa without worrying that it will affect their place in the national team. Messi and Neymar...
It's not that unusual for top players to skip the Copa America. Ronaldinho and Kaka, for example
Suarez won't. Chile will have all their best players, but I wouldn't be surprised if Messi and a few other top players skip the 2015 Copa.
That stuff is important to sponsors. I wouldn't be surprised if Messi is asked by his sponsors to play in this Copa. Neymar too. And Nike might...
This does make sense. CONCACAF would have looked stupid if their champions didn't go to this tournament. Although it's unlikely that any nation...
They are showing a "90 in 60" of Russian Premier League - CSKA vs. Lokomotiv on Monday.
BeIN Sport doesn't care about GolTV. It was entirely DirecTV's decision to do what they did to GolTV. When BeIN bought the rights to La Liga it...
It's on the BeIN Sport Play schedule. Do they only have streaming rights? Can't Zenit still win?
Why do you blame BeIn for this?
But they aren't the same teams. It's usually a different manager and mostly different players. This is FIFA talking point #1 on "Why the...
That is a decent point. It will be a big deal for Brazil, but not as much for the other countries. Even so, the Olympic squads won't have many...
Why would the 2015 Copa be their priority? You need a better reason than the Confed Cup spot to convince me.
I think there is a good chance that, other than hosts Chile, many national teams will give some of their top players June and July 2015 off, the...
Yes, but not because anyone values the Confederations Cup spot. They want to win the Copa America.
The OFC Cup? Isn't it a bit of a joke anyway?
The Confed Cup is not that important. Brazil and Argentina have sent B squads to Copa Americas that have determined the Confed Cup spot.
Perhaps, but they might send B teams to the 2015 Copa and save the A teams for this tournament.
Was it like that for the whole game?
I'm sure there are some rugby-loving "real" Americans out there, but I was talking about potential growth. When did quickness ever hurt a sport?...
I can't see rugby sevens getting very popular. If the problem with cricket is that it's too long, the problem with sevens is that it's too short....
An interesting read, but I can't see cricket ever gaining much popularity in the US beyond immigrants from cricket-loving nations. Maybe soon...
Did anyone else hear a funny noise immediately after Sherwood and Poyet embraced before the match?
It's on 1412. They'll be charging $15/month after the preview.
