Copa America
Someone won the Copa America finals in a shootout, again. This time though a certain captain missed his PK. The miss might be Messi's final with the Argentine National Team and that means his free kick against the USA might be his final international goal.
Hosting in the US was seen by many as a money grab and it was, a very successful money grab it looks like as it broke records for near every viewership metric.
One question post-Copa is, will the US ever be better than they are? I think they could get better but it'll take time, some people don't.
Why do we ask about the future? Because we didn't beat Colombia in the 3rd place match and that might have been the biggest missed opportunity of the tournament.
