[Adam]

Not Jozy Altidore...how will they cope!?

[HailtotheYo]

So after Osario leaves Carlos Vela off the roster, Gio says no to MNT call up for Copa

Chandler (wtf why not Lichaj or Castillo) and Johnson being listed as a defender (HOLY SHIT HE'S OUR BEST LM/LW OPTION) ... Omar has been fantastic at Pachuca this year, and Ream has probably been the most consistent American defender the last two years ....

Really that's all I can speak out about.  Mix has been much better this year but I don't think he should be there over any of the mids that are listed.  Even with Jozy going down and Morris not getting the nod we got Pulisic so I'm good.

Annoyingly, Premier Sports have been confirmed as the UK rights holders. I'm hoping that like last year, the BBC will have highlights online.

Elsewhere, it has been confirmed that goalline technology will be used in the tournament.

Pulisic, Gimenez, Lozano: 10 young players to watch at the Copa America Centenario

[Meacon Keaton]

Our back line has looked like the poo poo tonight, guys.

[gunnar hendershow]

Ouch

[Lineker]

Woops.

[HailtotheYo]

First match was highly disappointing .... good news is NOBODY has really played worth a shit in all honesty.  Urg/Mex both looked the best so far but that isn't saying much at all. 

[Szumi]

Well that was a hell of a bounce back!

[HailtotheYo]

That's the kind of game that traps USMNT fans and baits the naysayers .... ugh.  It was freaking awesome to watch and fun as hell.  Of course, biggest news out of the night is the missing man Paraguay will have for the final match!

Brazil smashed Haiti for seven; with Coutinho nabbing a hat-trick.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Hey @GoGo Yubari, were you planning on going to any of the games in Seattle? I didn't even realize Seattle was hosting some of the Copa America games until today.

[EddieG]

Rondon just scored a ball that came off the cross bar.

Which was deflected by Muslera.

After a 59 yard shot from Guerra.

[EddieG]

And it was wonderful.

Not only that, it practically sealed their qualification, and knocked Uruguay out of the tournament.

And in weirder news, Suarez seemed very upset that he didn't get subbed in, apparently not being aware, he was registered as ineligible due to injury before the match.

[HailtotheYo]

I don't know how the hell Jamaica didn't flippin score in the first half last night.  Very frustrating as they'd done a fantastic job .... damnit

[Meacon Keaton]

Alright guys, let's. Do. Thiiiiiis?!

[Meacon Keaton]

Pretty good first half. John Brooks breaking up that 3-on-1 was beautiful, as was Zardes making the Paraguay back line look like they were stuck in mud with that assist to Dempsey. Defense has had its moments though. I'm not expecting this to stay a 1-0 game. Paraguay is going to put one in at some point.

[Meacon Keaton]

So the refs went from calling a foul every time someone cut a fart to not blowing the whistle no matter what happens on the field.
