I've got Uruguay beating Argentina in the Finals.

Uruguay is the the fastest and fittest team in the tournament. Uruguay defeated Argentina in Argentina 2-0 in qualifying back in November which was no fluke. Argentina couldn't keep up with their speed and Argentina's back four is only getting older.

I have little confidence in Brazil. I think Ronaldinho was a bit hyperbolic when he called them "the worst Brazil squad ever" (2010 and 2014 were much worse), but their coach hasn't been there long enough to establish system and the their defense/midfield looks very suspect. They also had a brutal qualifying.

Yea I assume it’s because it means a lot to all of the countries besides US and Canada.

Argentina woke up in the 2nd half. Felt like they could've scored 2 more goals.

Going forward, playing Di Maria is just not going to work for them. He can be a super sub, but playing him 70 minutes is asking too much at this point in his career.

Turned it on a little late but thought Mac Allister was excellent.
