First semi final of Copa was last night. Fell asleep at half time but looks like I didn’t miss much. Second semi final between Argentina and Colombia is tonight.

Think it was. His previous appearances had been for their reserve side.

Watched about 20 minutes of second half. They looked decent and think this will be a tough tie to get through.

If anyone wants a look at our opponents and has a Sky Bet account their game against AIK is being streamed at 2pm today.

Usually is but given our lack of friendlies wonder if they might play some of first team players to give them game time.

Hernandez got off the bench for 5 minutes in Atlanta’s 3-0 defeat from Chicago last night.

Colombia win 4-2 on penalties.

Second half was slightly better but neither side could score so on to penalties.

Pretty dull first half between Uruguay and Colombia. Cannot recall either keeper making a save. Not even any cynical fouls from Uruguay. Hopefully 2nd half better.

I stuck them on mute or I was putting my boot through the TV.

Denmark win 3rd quarter final 2-1. Playing winner of Ukraine v England in semi finals.

Czech’s back into the game against Danes with another Schick goal.

Fell a sleep before the Brazil v Chile game started but it finished 1-0. Red card for Jesus was a belter. Highlights below.

What a finish to the Peru v Paraguay game. Paraguay had equalised at start of second half. Peru went 3-2 up with 9 minutes to go but then had Carrillo sent off with 5 minutes left. Paraguay then equalised in injury time to send game to penalties which Peru won 4-3. Highlights below if anyone’s interested.

Paraguay just reduced down to 10 men for second yellow card for Gomez the captain. First yellow for dissent looked right but second yellow looked really harsh. Looked like Gomez was going to punch the ref when he was sent off and had l to be held back by his team mates. He was still in the tunnel waiting for ref at half time and had to be moved on by his manager. Proper Copa game.

First of the Copa quarter finals on BBC iPlayer just now. Peru currently 2-1 up on Paraguay after 40 minutes. Peru were 1-0 down after 10 minutes. Brazil V Chile at 1am tonight, Uruguay v Colombia and Argentina v Ecuador tomorrow make up rest of quarter final line up.

That was a brilliant game between the two best teams in the Tournament. Italy should go on to win this now but injury to Spinazzola could be an issue. Doku for Belgium looked a player and didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.

2-1 now. Belgium back into it from the spot Lukaku.

2-0 Italy with a great strike from Insigne.

1-0 Italy. Great finish by Barella.

Belgium v Italy been excellent so far. End to end stuff.

Spain win 3-1 on penalties.

Penalties in Spain v Switzerland game.

Switzerland down to 10. Another one that would not even have been a foul a couple of years ago never mind a red card. It’s almost a non contact sport now.
