Mass handbags but Julio keeping out of it. Smart kid.

3-0. VJ again

3-1. Not Julio

 

[Juan Albion]

Pen Brazil. I'm getting sick of these ridiculous pens when the player is trying to get out of the way and it hits his arm behind his back.

 

[Juan Albion]

Paqueta gets it right this time. 4-1, which is harsh on Paraguay.

Julio subbed at 72'

Paraguay's defeat to Brazil yesterday means that they cannot qualify for the knockout stages. They play their final group match against Costa Rica on Tuesday and then I assume Julio Enciso will take some time off before returning to England for pre-season training.

Ecuador need to avoid defeat against Mexico tomorrow (Sunday) in order to advance, otherwise Jeremy Sarmiento will also be on his hols (presumably).

Canada are just about to kick-off against Chile. Tom McGill is, of course, on the bench. If they lose they are out; a draw will be sufficient unless Peru somehow beat Argentina.

Canada into the Quarter Finals! Chile down to 10 men for most of the match but still quite an achievement in Canada's first ever Copa.

Tom McGill to come on in the 119th minute in the final and save Vinicius Jrs penalty for a Canada win.
You heard it first and last here.

I wonder when, at what level, and for which club McGill will make his next senior appearance (currently 3 years 8 months and counting).

Yeah. Maybe Scotland or North America. Will struggle to get a gig in the EFL with that CV.
Could be that he is basically a training keeper studying for a civil career or some footy related job. I don't see him staying around because of a future career as our starting goalie, there must be something else in it.

USMNT crash out on home turf.

 

[AZ Gull]

Julio Enciso has started again for the homeward-bound Paraguay against Costa Rica. They were 2-0 down after....seven minutes.

 

[AZ Gull]

Paraguay lost 2-1 to Costa Rica. However, the great news is that Julio Enciso started and played the whole match. That means that in five matches over the last three weeks, Enciso has two complete games, another appearance of 90 + 2 minutes plus appearances of 64 minutes and 73 minutes. I don't think there is any doubt now that he has physically fully recovered from his injury of last season.

[Juan Albion]

Absolutely cracking game going on between Canada and Venezuela to see who meets Argentina in the semis. 1-1 in the second half. Canada led until Rondon lobbed the goalie from just inside the Canadian half after spotting him off his line. It's end to end stuff. Perhaps they should have used McGill

 

[Juan Albion]

Canada win after a shootout and Tom McGill is heading to the semis. Canada are two wins from being crowned South American champions. A small matter of the Mac lad and Argentina next.
