If Beryl reaches Class 4 depth earlier than Thursday July 4, it might be the earliest recorded Class 4 hurricane within the Atlantic. The storm has already set the file for the easternmost hurricane to type within the Tropical Atlantic in June, beating a earlier file set in 1933.

Nationwide Climate Service forecasters predict 17 to 25 named storms this season, with eight to 13 of these turning into hurricanes, together with 4 to seven main hurricanes.

“That’s nicely above common,” Brennan famous.

The climate service says thats’s “as a result of a confluence of things, together with near-record heat ocean temperatures within the Atlantic Ocean, growth of La Nina circumstances within the Pacific, lowered Atlantic commerce winds and fewer wind shear, all of which are likely to favor tropical storm formation.”

For that motive, I’ll take a flier on MVP to snake-charm each Garry and the cageside judges en path to a choice win.

La selección de Canadá no pasó el empate con su comparable de Chile, pero ya está en Cuartos de Ultimate al quedar segundo del Grupo A de la Copa América 2024.

El partido en Orlando, Florida inició con una jugada muy polémica que no se sancionó con tarjeta roja para Canadá, luego de que Moise Bombito recetara un codazo a Echeverría en el rostro mientras esperaban un cobro de esquina.

Chilenos y candienses se anularon durante 20 minutos, momento del partido en que se presentó la primera jugada de verdadero peligro cuando Víctor Dávila se quedó cerca de marcar un golazo de media tijera al bajar el balón con el pecho en los linderos del área y rematar cruzado. Crépeau solo pudo seguir el balón con la mirada mientras éste salía por un costado.

El panorama se oscureció para Chile seis minutos después y cuando mejor trataba el balón. Gabriel Suazo vio la doble amarilla por una falta cerca del área y dejó a su equipo con 10 y con una vida por disputarse.

La desventaja numérica se hizo presente en la recta last del primer tiempo luego de que los canadienses se quedaran cerca de abrir el marcador con la llegada precipitada de Jonathan David al área y el fuerte choque con Gabriel Arias. El jugador del Lille alcanzó a contactar el balón que amenazó con colarse a la portería de no haber sido por el despeje del central.

La segunda parte arrancó con dos jugadas polémicas por una supuesta mano en el área de un jugador de Chile y momentos antes un posible jalón sobre uno de los delanteros canadienses. Pese a los reclamos, el árbitro dejó fluir el juego.

La lluvia y el cansancio afectaron la pulcritud del partido, que cayó en imprecisiones, jugadas precipitadas y resbalones accidentales, y tras 90 minutos a Canadá le bastó el punto para colocarse segundo del Grupo A y avanzar a cuartos de last.

Sigue toda la Copa América a través de VIX. No te pierdas ningún detalle del torneo que junta a las mejores selecciones de CONMEBOL y de CONCACAF, así como de las grandes estrellas que solo la Copa América te puede traer.

En territorio estadounidense, Chile no pudo repetir la hazaña lograda en 2016. En el mismo país en que ganó su segunda Copa América ante la Argentina de Lionel Messi, La Roja no pudo con Canadá y se despidió eliminada con pena, sin gloria y con muchísima bronca tras lo que fue su encuentro de cierre del Grupo A.

A Chile todo se le hizo cuesta arriba a partir de quedarse con un jugador menos muy temprano en el partido. Al cabo, en el desarrollo, sin dudas Canadá contó con las mejores opciones de abrir el marcador (de hecho lo hizo, aunque el VAR lo invalidó), pero la coyuntura de lo que pudo o incluso debió haber sido el desarrollo de no ser por las decisiones arbitrales, todo podría haber sido muy distinto.

Cómo quedó Chile vs. Canadá: Resultado remaining

Todas las polémicas del arbitraje de Wilmar Roldán en el Chile vs. Canadá

No hubo roja a Bombito por agresión a Echeverría

Apenas iban cuatro minutos cuando ocurrió la primera jugada polémica del partido: Moise Bombito le dio un clarísimo codazo a Rodrigo Echeverría que, si el árbitro no lo vio, no debió dejarle ninguna duda a sus asistentes en el VAR. Sin embargo, no se dieron por aludidos en la cabina tampoco. Lo que period una expulsión indudable pasó completamente por alto para el equipo arbitral.

La difícilmente justificable expulsión de Suazo

Chile ya de movida vio su futuro comprometido, tanto en el partido como en la Copa, al haber sufrido la expulsión de Gabriel Suazo cuando apenas iban 27 minutos de juego. La sanción de parte del árbitro pareció completamente excesiva; incluso podría discutirse si la falta cobrada, que derivó en la segunda amarilla para el defensa, fue tal.

¿Period segunda amarilla para Davies?

Al minuto 48, los chilenos pidieron que Alphonso Davies viera la amarilla por detener con falta un ataque del equipo de Ricardo Gareca, aunque no pareció que la jugada lo ameritase: el hombre del Bayern Múnich se arrojó por el balón y el choque con Mauricio Isla resultó una acción regular de juego.

La única jugada polémica perjudicial para Canadá pareció ser un centro que un defensor chileno evitó con el brazo de apoyo, aunque en ese caso evidentemente el equipo arbitral consideró que la mano estaba en posición pure y por eso no fue sancionado. De todos modos, fue una actuación pobrísima de Roldán, que habrá que ver si continúa en el campeonato (su país, Colombia, ya accedió a los cuartos de remaining).

“Para los demás son faltitas y para nosotros son expulsiones. Nos terminamos quedando fuera por los errores arbitrales”, aseguró Echeverría. “As soon as contra as soon as hubiera sido otra la historia, son pequeños detalles que en contra te marcan el rumbo del partido. Lo intentamos, hay que rescatar que luchamos hasta el remaining”, dijo por su parte Arias, quien fue figura y trató de evitar la polémica.
