Shame all the games are on so late, going to be similar for the next world cup.
Next world cup there will be 48 teams. The groups stages will have to have 4 games a day. They will also want to cater for the european/african market (asia more difficult). So you'd probably get to see some games at a reasonable time.

Every single team qualifies for the knockout stages even if they lose every game.

Same as all international and european tournaments now. No jeopardy. So boring.
I'm ok with that, South American football can be quite tough.
Him getting enough to stay fit but not overdo isn't a bad thing.

Good to see him scoring in the shoot out with a calmly taken penalty. Always feel that you get a clear picture of a players mentality in such circumstances. If you can stay calm and execute (even if you do not score) it suggests that you may be one to rely on in clutch situations.
I haven't followed the copa america. Someone said he wasn't starting games. Which would be concerning.
Before his injuries he looked class. Really hope he's not suffered.

He still hasn’t started a game. Seems they don’t think he is good enough to start for them.

I wonder if he picked up an injury Vs Mexico in the friendly.
Subbed off on 89mins
Since then he has played 5,4,11 and 23 mins. So starting to get more game time

I think you are clutching at straws, i just don’t think the coach rates him that highly.
Hope that's it.
The last world cup he was great for them.

Yet he was their standout player at the last world cup. They couldn't have got a whole new improved team in two years surely ?
If that's not the case then it's Lolos form that has plummeted.

Change of manager has an impact
But I’d argue he is a Bielsa fit for sure so who knows…

Haven't watched them at all, but isn't the most likely explanation just that he was out injured more or less a year and hasn't fully recovered his best level yet?
