Does Bolivia stand a chance?

That was not offside that pass started with the CF in his own half.

Chile.
Mostly because I vote for the team with the best kit.
On the other hand, I watched the highlights of Les Bleus when I got home from work – when did they get rid of the white collar? Even as an Italia fan, I ALWAYS liked that je ne sais quo touch.
Also: NIKE needs to learn that the US blue is NOT that powder blue shit. We ain’t the fucking Chargers

If it walks like a Duk, talks like a Duk, gets called offside like a Duk it’s a Duk.
And I’ll see myself out.

@tsquared2001: Almost all of the Euro kits are dreadful and the with Copa as well. Stupid shoulder swatches and odd coloring, the 1980s neon piping and striping and third-kit style mashups. Goddamn kids and their modern looks and fashion and changing very trivial things, piss me off.

This nation may have its collective issues but I’m watching a Copa America Cup soccer match featuring Chile v. Bolivia and it’s being played in Massachusetts and there are what, 12-15,000 people in the stands?
Not bad.

@humboldtblue: The piping part is the worst. If you want to go retro, do NOT pick the ’80s.
These crosses by Chile are missing by JUST a bit. Gotta think that bad luck will change

@humboldtblue: There are a lot of fùtbol fans up around here.

@humboldtblue: Nice job. Can you go after their hairstyles next?

The Bolivian keeper was putting in SOME work there.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I would but it would never end because the hairstyles of soccer players have always been a bit odd and every league and every national team has two or three hipsters who just make you shake your head and think of a time when a sportsman and athlete kept it short, sharp and close.
Now the tattoos, well, just you grab a seat over there, mister, let’s talk about the umm … the inking is dreadful.

@humboldtblue: “Now there’s a haircut you could set your watch to.”

A “cultured left foot” per the announcer. I thought that meant trenchfoot, but apparently not, as Bolivia equalizes.

@ThresherK:
Indeed.
Bolivian keeper making his case for national hero.

And Bolivia gets robbed.

Don’t think that referee will be doing much past the group stage.
