In the third place match between Argentina and Chile... the team captains, Messi and Medel got into a chest bumping contest and straight Red Carded off, lol. Medel got mad as Messi was going after the ball on the Chile end line, and Medel took a little swing and looked like he tried to head butt Messi, but Messi just chest bumped him back. This game is very chippy, with Argentina up 2-0 going into the half... but not much to see now that Messi is gone. I lost count on how many yellows were thrown out there.

Everton, who doesn't play for Everton, opens the scoring for Brazil.
-
Even at 1-1, at 44'. Peru's Paolo Guerrero with a penalty spot gol..
-
Brazil returns the favor at 45+3', by Jesus. 2-1
-
Jesus just red carded on his second yellow. Brazil will play with 10 for the next 20 min, or more, if Peru ties it.

Congrats to Brazil for winning the 2019 Copa America, 3-1 over Peru. Argentina won yesterday for 3rd place (but Messi boycotted the medal ceremony)
Next year, the Copa America will start being held on the even years between the World Cup, so Messi still has a chance to get an elusive International major tournament.
USMNT vs. El Tri for the nitecap for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, at about 20:30 Eastern.

Well, USMNT had chances, but couldn't make it happen. Mexico got its act together in the 2nd half and scored, and controlled the ball for the most part... Pulisic couldn't get free. 1-0.
