Wait, What? 7 AGAINST MEXICO? Oh well, nice try Mexico.

Honestly, I'm personally surprised the USA makes it to the semis again, I really don't see them as a good caliber team for this year, but they have prove me wrong. Hopefully, they'll go to the finals and win it for their home country at their home field.

Yes, 7-0 against Mexico in Santa Clara, in front of thousands of Mexican fans (well at least the start of the game ). Vargas had 4 goals, and Puch scored his first 2 international goals! By the end, the Mexican fans were chanting "Puto!" everytime their goalie kicked the ball, something they usually only do to opposing keepers.

I don't think that the USA will beat Argentina, Messi and friends are just too good for them.

just a reminder that USA vs. Argentina is TODAY at 9pm EDT (6pm PDT, 2am BDT).
If you need a channel, it is on Univision and Fox Sports 1. For Canadians, you need Univision Canada. For me, I'll watch it somehow.

USA are playing Argentina RIGHT NOW

Argentina to the Copa America final after a 4-0 win against the USA

Also, with a goal in this match, Messi becomes the all-time goal scorer for Argentina's National Team

Kudos to Argentina for their semis win against America. To me, when it comes to sports and real life, I think USA is basically the most rowdiest people I seen when it comes to soccer and sports worldwide. I did feel bad when they got shutout by Argentina, but then again, their facing a Team that got Runner-up in the World Cup. And I don't need to remind myself how did the MLS did against Germany.

The game is under weather delay. Lightning storm in Chicago

[OwlRTA]

The game is almost over. The field is so slippery, I'm surprised that it wasn't delayed until tomorrow

[OwlRTA]

Fan ran onto the field

[SasukeForever]

Of all the places they could've chosen, Chicago always has s***ty weather...it's a shame with the amount of domes we have they couldn't have picked somewhere better in terms of field quality...hell Detroit would've been a fantastic area, and they have a dome
