Brazil victorious in Copa America



An understrength Brazil retained the Copa America, beating favoured Argentina 3-0 in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Clinical Brazil scored through a Julio Baptista screamer, a Roberto Ayala own goal, and Daniel Alves' fine finish.

It was Brazil's eighth Copa America title and denied their arch-rivals a record 15th crown.

Here I think with Argentina it is a classic case of them having a team of stars and not a star team, with a team like that you should rampage through competition but well it just hasn't happened.

CRAP, I forgot this match was even on. I said to Dmac hours ago that I was going to watch it, and I forgot. Damn instead I was playing Pro Evolution Soccer 6, oh well from reading the reports, Brazil won and they deserved it.

Dmac

Lol when on MSN you said you were going to play PES, just after you left I realised and it came on.

Adam Wolf

Oh well, pro was more fun. I won 6 - 0 twice on Top Player.

Dmac

Yeah I doubt it was more fun on the count that PES sucks ass, well that is just my opinion anyway, I really don't see what others see in the game.

Adam Wolf

Sorry for taking it off topic Mr. Dmac (but pro rules, I can't put it down to words, but it does to me). Well back on Brazil, I just watched a quick recap on Sky Sports News and Argentina never looked in the game, it seemed Brazil were too strong for them.

I was very surprised to see Brazil win the tournament with the amount of legends that were missing, but it seems Dunga is doing a good job, using both experience and youngster to propel Brazil back to the greatness of football.

Dmac

Brazil left out most of their top stars where as Argentina put out their strongest team possible and Argentina still lost, it just doesn't really add up, the only thing you can say is like Adam said, Dunga must be doing a damn good job.

Adam Wolf

Dida, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Emerson, Ronaldo, Kaka, Adriano and Ronaldinho all missing and Argentina can't beat them, what the hell is happening.

Argentina had Lionel Messi, Juan Roman Riquelme, Juan Sebastian Veron, Hernan Crespo and Carlos Tevez, they should've won.

But they didn't.

Dmac

You missed Cambiasso, Mascherano, Saviola, Heinze and Zanetti.

Adam Wolf

Damn, that makes it even worse. Don't forget pretty much the exact Argentinian team scored quite possibly the greatest World Cup goal in Germany.
