How come the brilliant Brazil team (think WC 1970, WC 1958) never won the Copa America?

as i said before ca started, ,historically we just dont care about it. If you enter our main sports news website today there isnt a single mention of our game tonight. We could go out and no one would care. I mean, in 2007 we sent our b team

It was like this at the libertadores too until the 90s. Our clubs spent several years refusing participations in sa competitions. Thats why pele only won twice for example

Interesting but that part in bold is shocking.

Seriously? Even the refs like violent play.

I hope it doesn't happen. Too many Copa Americas will undervalue the tournament even more than it already has been.

Surely the schedules wouldn't overlap?

BarrileteCosmico wrote:Brazil is out. Sponsors shudder.

Shame, I wasn't exactly rooting for Brazil, but I would've liked to see Argentina kick them out.

I am happier this way though. I would have had to wake up very early to watch Argentina vs. Brazil and that would have made my whole week difficult. This way I hope to watch Argentina in the final at a more comfortable time. Not saying that Paraguay can't knock us out in the semi final but whether they do or don't I am skipping that match, reading the result next morning and watching the highlights. This Copa isn't really worth losing sleep over.

What has gone wrong with him? Just about a year back he was the world's best central defender, pretty much by unanimous opinion. If he doesn't do that then Brazil probably go through.

I have no problems with Dunga getting fired but somebody answer one question.

In Brazil a coach will be loved only if he plays with style, wins a lot and wins the world cup.

Who in Brazil do you think is worthy of taking on the job considering all these things?

In this Copa America that is certainly very much possible.

I consider the 3rd place match a waste of time and hence will likely not watch it even if Argentina plays in it.

Anyway all the best to your team vs. Chile. Teach them that it takes more to win a competition than slyly getting opposition players sent off.

Dunga making Neymar captain over him. It's the Bale Cronaldo-syndrome, you have to devalue yourself to make somebody else to seem better.

Don't call me James wrote:I remember when Robinho aspired to win the Balon D'Or. Good times

I remember Robinho was called the new Pele almost at the same time as Messi was called the new Maradona. At that time we didn't even know who would become the better player.

So Paraguay have knocked out Brazil successively in two Copa Americas on penalties. Next time if the two meet in a penalty shoot out who would your money be on?

RealGunner wrote:Why would anyone watch that over the superior Euros anyways

You could easily watch both the kick off hours are distant

You mean Neymar? Yeah, Brazil is better off without Nerman, I get it

Where's Hulk?

Because of BRA's elimination last night, Neymar will be banned for first two World Cup 2018 qualifiers in October.

Jara officially banned for 3 international games

Official Copa America team of the QF:



The referee for the semi final match between Argentina and Paraguay has been changed. Initially, CONMEBOL had assigned an Ecuadorian referee for the semi final match between Argentina and Paraguay. However, that has since been changed. It is now a Brazilian referee. The same Brazilian referee who gave a red card to Edinson CAVANI in Uruguay's match against Chile.

The referee has refereed two matches at the Copa America, giving out 10 yellow cards, 2 red cards and 69 fouls. Messi Mascherano and Aguero are on yellows and in danger to miss final. Particularly Messi's yellow was so controversial that it seems that Conmebol has decided to carry Chile to Copa America no matter what. The same ref didn't even give penalty for this for Messi:

Why won't they clear all the bookings out? The biggest star of the tournament is possibly missing the final Where's the logic

harmonica

Messi has 1 foul to 1 yellow, 1 goal.
Neymar has 5 fouls to 2 yellows + 1 red, 1 goal.
Paolo Guerrero has 17 fouls to 1 yellow, 3 goals.

This is how Copa America 2015 rolls.

- is a fanboy of the undisputed best player in the world
- supports the most successful club of the millenium
- still manages to display a persecution complex beyond the boundaries of sanity

it's not logical imo

Harmonica confirms Guerrero>Messi

Couldn't have said it any better. Wonder what he would have done is he were a serial dishwasher fanboy like me who support scrubs like Nerman, or others who support scrubs like Suarez, hazard or Ronaldo or a club fan like el gunner who support clubs like arsenal or maybe milan, man utd, Liverpool and the like. Suicide then? Just look how he's already making up excuses/blames just in case messi or Argentina doesn't make it to the final...
You need to see the inferiority complex he gets and the way he jumps on the criticism train when players like Neymar and Suarez gets little praise, even being a fanboy of the undisputed best player of his generation and one of the best players of all time. Cringe worthy tbh..

"if Messi played in the 80s he would score a 100 goals" (:

O wait, instead he is complaining about fouls. lol at anyone that ovverates this midget in this soft era. Diego would score 200 goals in a season if he played in this softcore porn era.
