    I thought about starting a thread for this tournament, after all, it is a tournament.

    We had a fairly good campaign during the qualifiers. We could've won it but things did not go our way at the last match. We need to also remember that we cannot start slow in this tournament as we did in Chile earlier in the year. We need to hit the ground running.

    We open up v South Africa. As @locoxriver mentioned, for those in the United States, the match is on FS2 and kicks off 11:30 PST.

    It is a good generation of players, much better than what we've had in quite a long time, so we should be able to do well. The individual talent is there but let's hope they can form a good bond on the pitch and go out there and kick some ass.

    We score in the 4th minute. Vera with the header from the corner.

    Our passing has been so good...zipping and full of energy.

    Jesus, Roffo, what are you doing? We were playing so well.

    South Africa are all over us now. Our players confidence has dropped.

    Pretty poor after conceding looking a little back to form after the fortieth minute.

    Not impressive at all. The entire defence looks shaky and awful on set pieces. Roffo and the defence need to communicate. However both fullbacks on their own look reasonable especially Mura.

    Too much ball watching and not enough watching your man. Both DM's dragged out of position by this leaving South African players in space. A lack of composure on the ball as well and passes underhit at times in good positions.

    Barco needs to realize it is a team game and what is it with the long range shooting from Ferreira ? Work an opening certainly but don't just shoot for the sake of it especially with players better placed.

    I am still amazed Garay and Balerdi are not there in defence with Perez. And no Garre ? And what is Alemendra doing on the bench ? A cut above Vera and Medina and Sosa. We have no direction from there. And get Gaich on. Might help having a target to play off. A win is critical in a tough group.

    Nice to see the small knot of fans still singing though.

    Far too much selfishness from the likes of Alvarez and Ferreira. Going for that hero shot instead of laying it off to a teammate.

    We're not creating any real chances right now.

    VAR penalty.

    Gaich on. At least someone to get onto the end of the aimless crosses being put in.

    Barco confident penalty.

    We need to put this game to bed. South Africa are down to 10 men.

    Alvarez nearly screwed that one up as well. Get Almendra on you moron Batista. Bad enough he has left players like Barreal etc etc behind.

    Dumb penalty to give up. Edge of the box and turned away from goal and still step on him.

    This team has a lot of work to do if they want to make a deep run. This will be by far our easiest game and the defense has looked pretty mediocre . Most of the team continues to blast it to the 30th row. Maybe it is a wake-up for the players and the coach.
