    Argentina obviously the massive favorites, but Canada gave them a hard
    time in the first match, and Argentina was far less than spectacular
    against Ecuador. Maybe this will be closer than it looks? (Sorry,
    Canadian fans, I'm not trying to tempt the Weaufx Gods)

    They did not actually win the final on a coin toss.

    I dont know why they allow English referees in the COPA???? Argentina
    goal starts from when a Canadian player is clearly fouled, but no call
    on the play and the Argies score. Why the Hell do they have ENglish
    refs doing this game? They are too dumb and this is too big match for
    them, they are out of their depth.

    Canada not doing badly, they actually started farily well. Who knows
    they might actually score in the 2nd half.

    FT: 2-0
    Messi deflects (deliberately, as far as I could tell) an Enzo Fernandez
    shot and gives Argentina a two goal lead. Which they needed, as Canada
    had several chances to pull one back in the late stages, but it was not
    to be.

    Jonathan David went out injured after a bad challenge.

    Or the semifinal or quarterfinal. One was on pens, I think.

    Anyway Italy won their only Euros because of a coin toss, too, so we're
    in good company.

    I think you might need to update your reference material! ;-)

    Italy beat England on penalties in the last European tournament.

    Seniors moment, or maybe just suppression. I keep hearing Hamburg never
    won the European cup, for example
