    I am being greedy now, but Panama would have hurt the US chances alot more if they scored one more goal.
    US just needs to match Panama's result in the third match, which could of course be a loss.

    Paraguay really stopped playing football post 2011 Copa.

    ...and they;re the one outside Argentina and Uruguay that has very good record against Brazil in this competition.

    If you look the stats, they beat Brazil 9 times in Copa.

    Even the last time Brazil won at home, they only beat 10 man Paraguay from penalties.

    Yea, sadly it looks like 3 horse race again. Only Argentina, Uruguay & Brazil are competing for the title. Chile made it a bit more interesting when they won it back to back.

    Brazil & Uruguay has to eliminate each other before the final though.

    The Swiss go up 1 x 0. Nice goal. They are dominating Italy.

    Italy's Euro 2020 title is such a weird bleep in their recent record.

    Italy with a pathetic performance. Swiss completely dominated from beginning to end.

    Italy seems always content for trophy they just won for at least the next 10-15 years.

    They won World Cup and Euro in this century, while making 4 finals in total (3 Euro and 1 World Cup).

    Crazy that only Spain are more successful (European teams).

    Bellingham's 95' overhead kick equalizer vs. Slovakia was England's first shot on goal in the match. Just ridiculous the number of clutch goals he's scored this past year.

    Yamal taking over in the 2nd half. Gorgeous cross to Fabian Ruiz for the go-ahead goal.

    Impressive win by Spain. Best team of the tournament. Yamal has a great ability to cross the ball into where it needs to be in the box.

    It will be talked for long time. An overhead kick goal to save his team, Rivaldo's style.

    Was rooting for Belgium, but gotta say that Kounde had Doku in his back pocket all night. And given that Lukaku resembled Biden four nights earlier, that didn't leave Belgium with much hope.

    When England go out in the next round no one will talk about Bellingham's bicycle anymore. It'll be on those youtube compilation videos but not much else.

    Hopefully. But with bicycle kicks, the difficulty level goes up exponentially the further you from goal. And thus, these are not comparable even if England win the Euros.

    Also, Rivaldo had an epic match. B-ham had a stinker, which he made up for somewhat with one touch.

    Damn, CR7 is jacked-up for this one!. So far, not converting that energy to actual effectiveness, but they're is still time....
    If your measure is # of finals, yes. In terms of consistency (good showings in major tournaments), Portugal and France are ahead.
