BRONZE
CA Centenario
Chile was and is the best team in South America. They proved it just last year in the REAL Copa America.
Argentina have better players but NOT a better TEAM, which is ALL that matters. Messi is a quitter.
Brazil is just funny. Their best player is off shooting commercials during a "major" tournament. Sad.
Colombia is fun to watch but don't quite have "it". Not as good as their 90s team.
Venezuela were amazing. Really nice kits too. Hope they qualify for the next World Cup.
Mexico I feel sorry for you. Never ever seen a Mexico team do what they did. Better forgotten.
US had some interesting play. Not completely terrible, but not really a threat. Not really.
Uruguay was another first. Never seen them not show up. They have a good team. Strange. Suarez was pissed!
Not really a "major" tournament. They played this Cup for real last year, Chile won. This "Centenario" was just marketing. Look at where it was played and how it was played. I personally think this was all set up for Messi to win his first major international Cup and Chile didn't get the memo. I don't think it ever mattered who won this Cup, but I am happy to see Chile retain the title, as they should. Overall: B. Last year: A. Need packed stands and we didn't have that.
Euro 2016
England are useless.
Wales were epic.
End of an era for Spain.
Refreshing Italy.
Germany stayed home.
Iceland were brilliant.
France were arrogant.
Belgium have issues.
Regarding CR7: his injury in the final was literally the best thing to EVER happen to Portugal! He has his major trophy, and for that he has earned immortality, but he was not on the field during the most important game in the history of Portugal. Everyone wins: haters can say Portugal won because he wasn't on the pitch, lovers can say he led Portugal to its first ever major trophy.
Overall: B+/A-. New contenders, lots of youth, Germany lost, new Champion, but not enough goals.
Very happy for Eusebio.wicked1
