    They were bought out though. At lower than IPO price. Tough deal if you got right after IPO. Unless you averaged down. :D

    Yep, took profits and split. Like the 3rd time they were bought out. Has become more Americanized. But still a main client and the best meats in Chicago.

    Looks like Group B is the Group of Death!! Argentina-Colombia-Paraguay-Qatar!! Luckily with Copa 3 teams can come out this group!!

    But it would be so funny if Qatar won the Group!!:D

    I was going to come, but wanted to stay in Rio and Sao Paolo. Unfortunately there are no good games in those Cities.

    Brazil got a ridiculously favorable draw but doesn’t mean anything as I have seen us get favorable draws recently and not take advantage.

    Rumor is that they wanted to sell tickets in the other cities, so they put those games there to encourage people to visit places other than Rio
     
    Emperor Adriano repped this.

    I think it could still happen by 2020 and CONMEBOL is all-in for it. The US could definitely use the diversion from the fact that they failed to qualify for the 2018 WC, so I'm almost surprised that the USSF wasn't chomping at the bit to find a way to compete but, then again, this is the same federation that took 10 months to hire a coach that they had every intention to hire in the first place...

    In fact they can do a 16 team Copa in 2020 if they invite 6 CONCACAF teams!! Like they did in 2016

    Nope for the 2020 Copa America, Argentina and Colombia will co-host it!! Argentina will have the 'South Group' with Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and an invited team and Colombia will have the 'North Group' with Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and an invited team.

    Each will play each other once and the top 4 in each group will go to the QF's and the Final is to be played in Buenos Aires. With means a team will wound up playing 8 games to win it!!

    Not sure how I missed the Fogo discussion. :D

    Texas de Brasil is better IMO. And Fogo definitely has been more Americanized over the years. Texas has more meat options and there are some glaring omissions at Fogo's buffet. At least the one in DC doesn't have any farofa....

    Yes, I prefer places like these. I've been to the North Miami location. There's also a good place in Astoria whenever I go to up to NYC. Unfortunately, we don't really have any options like these in the DMV. There was a place that opened up recently here, but the food is second rate IMO.

    Here, you predict Lucas Moura being called up. In another thread, you said he will not. I see you are hedging your predictions now.

    @Mengão86 , I did say I would get 90% right!! Lucas Moura might be the 10% I get wrong!!:D Shit I know I sound crazy, but I really would like to see D. Luiz to have one last crack at the Selecao, but I guess that may mean Thiago Silva and Fernandinho will get one too!!:cry::ROFLMAO:
