Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread

Nunez fight against the Columbian fans was uncalled for because he should have informed the security agencies around to attend to his family instead of going to fight all by himself, that was very risky and unprofessional from Nunez since he didn't thought about his own safety

The moment of fighting violently is shocked and not only Nunez but other players and staffs of Uruguay team joined the fight too. With information I have, it began with violence, threat from Colombian fans against families include baby, children of Uruguayan players that triggered Nunez and others from Uruguay side to react violently like this.

It is from news and we need to wait for more videos and investigations to know that how violence started. Possible strict bans on Nunez and others will be executed but reasons must be clear to make bans on them.

Even further sanction should be extended by FIFA over this actions and threats by the Colombian side over the Uruguayan players, if possible banning Colombia from participating in the next tournament if they're found guilty. I used to think the Copa America competition is a mature league to be hearing of this kind of stories before and after the game, this could also have resulted in the Uruguayan side losing of this match.

I think, there is always a trigger that will make them have a fight like that because after all, if they only get a losing result I don't think they will have a fight like that either. Because if the issue is because Nunez received threats from Colombian fans, then I think it's natural that Nunez ended up being emotional and unbearable, resulting in a fistfight like that. However, if for example the threat does not really exist or does not actually occur, then Nunez will receive punishment.

But of course, if the threat was really made by Colombian national team fans, then of course Nunez would not receive any punishment because the fault lies with the Colombian fans who intimidated Nunez. But yes, I personally am quite sure that there was a trigger that made Nunez do that, but I am sure that Nunez's actions were appropriate because he did not accept the attitude or behavior regarding threats made by Colombian national team fans like that.

The Copa América final is unlikely to be the final match of the tournament in which two of the tournament's biggest teams have qualified. Argentina have performed brilliantly in the last two years and they have now turned their team into a consistent performer. Argentina has performed well in this Copa America tournament from the group stage matches to the semi-finals while Colombia has performed the second best in this tournament so these two big teams will surely compete against each other in the finals. Although Argentina's opponent is Colombia, I will bet on Argentina in the final match and I believe Argentina will win against Colombia in the first 90 minutes.

Colombia has tired but they can not be the team to stop Argentina from winning the Copa America. Argentina prepared for the tournament very well and no team could stop them. They have showed their country that they can be called heros. They just won the world cup and adding to that could be the Copa American. Messi is really gifted, he mightn't have contributed too many chances to the tournament but he has helped the team before and now they're returning the flavor by playing for him to won more international trophies. Argentina has a very good score against Colombia and with that they can be confident when they play them but the coach needs to be cautious and instruct the players to not underate anybody as they are not very good at playing international finals due to the amount of losses they already have.

By mere calling of the names that are going to be playing in the final match of the Copa America, one will definitely pick Argentina as the best choice to win the match. Perhaps, why not consider the other team also to have made it this far and eliminated all the big teams they have to face before reaching the finals. The Colombians have done extremely well since the beginning of the competition and have not lost any game also. I won’t give it all to Argentina for a win over Colombia without having to face any difficulty. The match is going to be a tough one and a very important one to follow through because I expect a lot of excitement and intriguing moments in this finals.

Even further sanction should be extended by FIFA over this actions and threats by the Colombian side over the Uruguayan players, if possible banning Colombia from participating in the next tournament if they're found guilty. I used to think the Copa America competition is a mature league to be hearing of this kind of stories before and after the game, this could also have resulted in the Uruguayan side losing of this match.

Colombians can’t just be banned from next tournaments because their fans fought with their opponents player, that will be uncalled for and not just if such verdict is being given as regards to this situation. The tempo was high since Uruguay lost the match and not one can really tell what transpired between them that led to that fight. Whatever the case may be, diligent investigation should be done and only the party doing guilty should be punished and not allow other face the penalty or nonchalant behavior of others.

Argentina is one of the best soccer team due to best strategy of their coach and depth of these youngsters as things are going most chances we are going to have no challenge for them in coming years as well because they are doing good development and all things are going into their way for having better results with Brazil is having too many problems which are preventing them from having better results so just because of this their dominance is going to have good long time in near future.

In this event we are having their best performance with high quality which is showing how strong they are and if we have no off the field troubles for them most chances we will have them in strong winning position in coming world cup with just teams from the European region can give them challenge specially Spain or England but still things are favourable for them to stay at the top of the FIFA rankings for long time.

Argentina will play this final as favorites and many people including me will bet on them. I was going through the odds and for Argentina, you will get 2.28 and if you bet on Colombia then the odds are 3.60. These odds are taken from Stake and it shows that bookies favor Argentina  to win this final.

Will Argentina win the Copa Ameria title for the 16th time or will it be Colombia winning it for the 2nd time?

It's just a matter of time. It is good that Argentina reached the final but they did not perform as expected in the semi-final match. Argentina team was struggling in the end with teams like Canada. Colombia and Argentina will face each other in the final match in what could be a fierce battle between the two teams. Both teams are almost equal in terms of strength. Argentina have the same title chances as Colombia. Can Argentina win the Copa America title for the second time in a row?Or Colombia will be champion. This question is constantly in the minds of supporters.

[Marykeller]

I think it will be a great final this time and it is also the most correct outcome because Argentina and Colombia are without a doubt the best teams that has shown the best football so far.In fact when I checked the line up of Colombia I was impressed that most of their forwarders were playing in Crystal Palace in Premier League.Of course Argentina has the best line up and are clear favorites to win Copa America yet I think Colombia will give it a fight and this final will be probably better than the Euro final between Spain and England.

Both the Copa America and Euro finals will be tough and interesting matches to watch, no one will be probably better than the other because both teams gave an astonishing performance to reach their league finals.

In few days, we will be getting to see whether Argentina will stop the unbeaten strike of Columbia because they last lost a match two years ago against the same Argentina they are meeting in the Copa America finals. Since then, no loss match has Columbia encountered. It's either a win match or a draw match for them. However, it's gonna be a tough match even though their head-to-head, Argentina have 4 wins, to 1 win for Columbia.

For Euro finals: Spain vs England. Spain won't easily win England as thought. England might hold Spain to a draw that penalty will then decide who owes the Euro trophy "Spain or England".

To be honest, I wasn't expecting Columbia to win their Copa America semi final against a known football nation like Uruguay who eliminated Brazil from the competition. After Uruguay defeated Brazil in the quarter finals, I was expecting them to reach the final ahead of Columbia because to me, I feel their team have more quality but the Columbia player had another thought which was to take their nation to the final of a major tournament for the first time in 23 years.
The aftermath of that Columbia win earlier today was a fight which broke out between fans of both nations. During the fight, Uruguay player Darwin Nunez was seen running to the crowd to protect his family from being harmed by Columbian supporters. The football body in charge of South American football I believe will investigate the matter and sanction the offenders

Copa America 2nd semi-final Uruguay vs Colombia. Colombia won the match 1-0. After 23 years Colombia achieved the feat of playing in the Copa final.

Of all the matches Uruguay has played on this season this was actually the match I never expect them to lose because in as much as Uruguay may not be the best team on this league but we can attest that there performance this season was too impressive, however we can start from there group stage when they played three matches and came out victorious with 9 points and they still move on and meeting Brazil at the Quarter finals and with there performance they still managed to hold Brazil with draw even with the red card they had but still Brazil could not win them.

So after how they played with Brazil on that match with short one I came to the conclusion that they have all the performance of qualifying for the finals but to my greatest surprise, of all the matches they have played with so much effort  they could not even put the same efforts on there performance in other to win the match, and funny enough Colombia was even playing with short one but they still could not win.

It is a great victory for Colombia, I thought the match would end in a draw and that the score would be in Uruguay's favor because I see that they are very good scorers, however the winner is Colombia and I think it is excellent, the final is not an iconic final, Colombia is very excited, its people, everyone is still celebrating, the final is very good, it could be that either of the two teams wins although I am more inclined to favor Argentina because of the warmth that this team shows in a final, however since 2001 with the captaincy of Pibe Valderrama they have won a Copa América, it could be that the selection can give that joy to the coffee-growing country.

Regarding the hooliganism that took place in the stadium, I find it incredible, these things happen in a first world country, the lack of maturity is unbelievable , that the fans act worse than wild animals.

Colombia beat Uruguay 1-0 in their Copa América semi-final on Thursday despite being reduced to 10 men before half-time in a game that ended with ugly scenes as players entered the crowd to confront fans.

Jefferson Lerma’s header booked Colombia’s title decider against the defending champions Argentina.

Uruguay’s Darwin Núñez missed several chances in the first half and Colombia made them pay in the 39th minute when Lerma rose above the defence to head James Rodríguez’s corner past goalkeeper Sergio Rochet.

This question is constantly in the minds of supporters.

I was quite hopeful that I would see Uruguay meet Argentina in the final match, but what I expected was actually the opposite of what is happening now after Colombia was surprisingly able to stop the other favorite team in the semifinals from reaching the final at this time, the results of the semifinal match yesterday between Uruguay and Colombia, it seemed make that Argentina percentage as the favorite to win at this time began to decrease drastically, because after all, Colombia looks very promising to be able to provide fierce resistance to Argentina in the final round,  I was personally quite surprised by Colombia game in the semifinal round who were able to appear effective even though they continued to be under pressure from Uruguay.


Since the start of the Copa America, Argentina and Brazil have been the two favorite teams to win the Copa, but Brazil was eliminated first by Uruguay, while Uruguay actually had to be eliminated by Colombia which was never the favorite to reach the final, but now we will actually be presented with a final that of course it will be very difficult to predict who will win, Argentina who is the defending champion, will have a greater burden to maintain their status, while Colombia will likely play carefree in the final because so far reaching the final match has been quite a brilliant achievement for them.

Colombia fans were reportedly attacking people in a section of the stadium where Uruguay players wives, girlfriends and children were sitting. Nunez, Valverde, Araújo, Giminez were fighting to defend their families.

I do not blame the players at all, I would have done the same. The police failed them, why weren’t they there?

Colombia's fans are fierce. And here are the full ten fans of Colombia. To be honest, I really didn't like the Colombia team's performance even a few years ago. This team plays very aggressively. Fouled a lot. Now it seems that the fans of Colombia are also very fierce.

As far as I know Uruguayan players family members have been attacked by Colombia fans. This is very unfortunate. It can never be justified that they will abuse or attack the opponent just because Colombia won the match. It is also natural that the players of Uruguay are involved in this quarrel . If someone attacks my family, I will definitely help them.

[el kaka22]

Uruguay definitely looked like the better team, and yet they still lost and that's a bad thing but we just need to accept that we are not going to end up with anything that will be all that easy to handle. We should probably realize that it is going to take a while for Uruguay to get better.

They had one of the best tournaments they had in a long time, and with Brazil being bad, they could have won this game and be great and maybe even beat Argentina in the finals, would have been hard but not impossible. Whereas, now they have to watch the finals from afar. I still think that Argentina will win the whole thing, it will not be that hard, and looking at how they are going to face an "easy" opponent, they should be able to get it going.

I also saw information about this bet today and, firstly, as always, I laughed at the fact that he always loses, and secondly, I was surprised that this time he bet on an outsider. Usually he bets a larger amount on the favorite (at least with odds close to 2.0). Maybe it really was sponsorship money with the condition that it had to be bet on the outcome with odds of at least 9? 
I also expect Uruguay in the final, but they only have 90 minutes to prove their superiority and avoid the lottery. And by the way, the probability of a draw is again very high - 2.80.

Yeah, maybe it was really sponsor money and there was such condition on it. But I wouldn't still bet on Canada to win even in that case.    One can certainly find a better option with the same odds for such game.

We both expected Uruguay to win but they were a failure. Not even being able to score a goal against a team which played with 10 players for a whole half? This is terrible after all those performances we have watched from them. It looks like a back-to-back Argentina title is on the way, what do you think? I wouldn't like to jinx the final game though.    But it would really be a big surprise if Colombia beat Argentina somehow too.

Will Argentina win the Copa Ameria title for the 16th time or will it be Colombia winning it for the 2nd time?

It is certain that this match will be a lot of Argentina's favorite seeing that in terms of opportunities it is very far, but how far to do this in the final? If betting then it is certain that many will choose Argentina, this team has great quality players including Messi who may still be able to score in the final later.

Anyway, it will be sweet for Messi to win the Copa America now that they last won the World Cup and now will win the Copa America because it is getting closer to the title.
I predict that Argentina will win the final again for the 16th time.

Argentina will definitely win the Copa America and this time around, there's presence of pressuring actions from contenders. Uruguay got eliminated from the Copa America semi-final. This is really a shocking phase for them but it seems they're struggling. How can Colombia knock out one of the tough contender for the tournament? It's still huge surprise for me but I guessed, everything happen for a reason.
