The Brazil vs Uruguay Copa America quarter final match is taking place with a lot of attacks between the two teams. Both teams are currently attacking in a frenzy, with no goals scored so far. If we see most of the games turning into draws in every match, then I think today's match is likely to be a draw between Brazil vs Uruguay. Anyway, if the Brazilian team loses in today's match, then they will be eliminated from the quarter-finals and will not be able to reach the semi-finals. The team that successfully recognizes and plays their hard work and hard will be successful in making it to the semi-finals. Although comparatively Brazil team is not playing very well in current season so their performance is not so good. If Brazil win today's match against Uruguay, they will next face Colombia in the semi-finals.

Maybe that cherished dream of yours has already been shattered. Currently, a situation has arisen where the Brazilian team players are performing opposite of what the fans of the Brazilian team expect. Over the last few years we have seen a decline in performance from the Brazil team as they lose match after match and continue to disappoint their fans. I have seen many fans in our country bragging about this team saying that this team is the best team in the world and even that this team's attack bug is the best attack in the world. If they are the best in everything then why are they losing matches why not winning.

If they don't improve their performance like the current performance of the Brazil team, maybe they will become a much worse team in the evolution of time. Which is already predictable to everyone.

Brazil is not having a good time at the moment. Apart from being regularly defeated in big tournaments, they are also defeated in various friendly matches. It is difficult for Brazil fans to accept such a performance from their team. I think Brazil have good quality players but lack a good quality manager in their team. To improve their team's performance again, they must appoint a European manager who will find the team's weaknesses and work on them in European style.

Brazil has the best defense line, the best midfield lineup and the most expensive forward line in the world, yet why does Brazil perform so poorly.

When the Brazilian players perform for the club they perform very well, we can clearly assume that the manager's strategy is weak and that is why Brazil is in this situation.

I agree with you. One of the reasons for Brazil's poor performance is their coach. 62-year-old Dorival Junior is not an experienced coach. He previously coached Sao Paulo and Flamengo. Brazil is a renowned team. As their goal was to do well in the World Cup and win the Copa, Brazil needed a more experienced coach. Also I saw Brazilian players ignore Coach Dorival. They don't give enough respect. However, this could also be my misunderstanding.

Brazil should definitely try to strengthen the bonding between the players. Because there is no shortage of talented players in Brazil's squad. If the chemistry between the players is good then this team will be strong.

I understand the importance of having a young and vibrant couch especially in a team like Brazil but this can not be justify as one of the reason for their irritating performance. Brazil performance was not only poor, it was very embarrassing and insulting for a team that have produced famous and talented players in the history of football and are also known for taking sports activities very serious to end up playing the way played in a tournament as serious as Euro.

I don't know much about their couch but even if he's less experienced as you pointed out, the players can adjust while in the pitch to make things work right. Majority of their squad players play in a very recognized clubs and have experience to play even without the instruction of a couch. What I could figure out from their overall performance is lack of dedication. They were playing like people who weren't interested but forced to come and participate. The couch should be relief from the duty because at that age, nothing much is expected again.

Personally, I have to agree with what you said, where Brazil current performance has decreased significantly. In almost every line, Brazil has big names, they should be able to perform optimally by giving their best. It's difficult to find out where Brazil shortcomings lie at the moment, in my point of view it probably lies with their manager, and it could also be with the players themselves.

At first glance what Ronaldinho said seems to have some truth, I know it's just advertising, but looking at the current facts, it seems very relevant. The Brazil we expected failed to live up to expectations, they seemed to lose their identity when they played, maybe also because they lost a player like Neymar. Brazil must look for a more qualified manager in the next World Cup event.

On the other hand, Brazilian players should have a respectful attitude towards the manager, in several social media posts, the players can be seen ignoring the coach instructions. Many fans regretted this attitude, it should not have happened in front of cameras and fans. An attitude of mutual trust and respect can make a team solid, Brazil is currently losing this.

Regardless of the fact that the outcome of the match was determined by penalty shootouts but I have already known that Uruguay will move to the Semi finals because if you watch Uruguay play, they have this strong determination in them since they started the Copa America and Brazil on the other hand didn't look like they would advance further because their matches are always boring to me because irrespective of the fact that they have professional and tactical players in their squad but they weren't strong enough as they narrowly win their previous games and Uruguay is a strong contender of the Copa America, they know the value of the cup more than Brazil hence they gave their all to get to the Semi finals, imagine being one man down due to red card but yet Brazil couldn't utilize the opportunity that means had it been the Uruguay team were complete to the end they would have won Brazil without getting into penalty shootouts.

Uruguay versus Columbia match will be a very tough game because Columbia have also shown good signs of professionalism in their play and of which they gonna give Uruguay a tough game but I still vehemently believe that Uruguay will win Columbia and reach the finals alongside their rivals in the Competition Argentina who will also be playing against Canada but their game looks obvious that Argentina will emerge as the winners in that match however, I'm seeing Argentina and Uruguay making it to the finals.

Not only boring, but i don't think it's worth watching the performance of the Brazilian Team, i think this is why one of the Brazilian legends said that he didn't want to watch Brazil's match, because of their poor performance on the pitch, and i really agree with your opinion on this matter. Regarding the problem of Brazilian team's performance, the manager should have known and fixed it, in order to restore Brazil's great name and glory as one of the best football countries.

When there was Romario-Ronaldo-Rivaldo in the Brazil team, how much rhythm was there in the team, then when Kaka-Ronaldinho was there, Brazil had a good time, but after this generation, when Neymar met again, Brazil was still there, but the previous rhythm was lost from the team. And gradually the Brazilian team also became weaker. Today Brazil supporters do not have that power, on whom will they depend? All the teams who have consistently performed well in this tournament are at the highest level. Brazil is getting so much criticism only because of his previous reputation. The team is not really doing well. However, many people are more emotional towards this team. If they can't select good players and give them good training then their football will be in a worse position.

Neymar was the last player that brought joy to Brazilians after him no player is equal to the task of leading the team to success. These set of players are only good when they are playing in their various club side not together as a team which was why they could not perform well in this competition. It will be hard for Brazil to have professional players that has the passion and leadership spirit for the national team.

Brazil in Copa America didn't play as if they are the country which we know that have produced football legends but they played like an ordinary country who is new to football. Brazil needs to new young lad to come and strengthen the team performance and not these current ones because they are not capable of maintaining the national team standard.

Messi with his Argentina team. After starting shaky, they're finding their groove. Messi is leading his side with his customary magic, proving he's the best. Argentina can handle strong teams like Brazil, which is tactically stalled

For me Messi have not done too well in this competition. I know many people are looking at him as the key man but we have not seen much coming from him apart from his presence which is enough to keep the opponents in their toes. Rather, while attention is on Messi, Lautaro Martinez is actually the one doing the damage. He has scored most of the goals that got Argentina to where they are now. It is just strange how none of the big teams is able to win their knock out matches clean without entering penalty shout out. Argentina survive the penalty but Brazil lost to Uruguay and are out of the competition amidst so much rage from their fans.

I read his words 5 times trying to understand his nonsense, it looks like he’s just insanity. "More and more people are watching football but it is becoming less attractive" Grin

This is similar to the grumbling of an old man who doesn’t like everything new, but he likes everything old because that’s how it was in his youth. I found and read his full words and not just this quote. He doesn't like modern technology because it makes football more predictable. Lol. As they say, sometimes gray hair comes without wisdom.

the fact is that things have changed with regards to how football had been in the past with respect to how it currently his now, the technology that has been brought into the game of football is to make it more accurate and to assist most referees and linesmen make better decision which will go on to create a free and fair decision and Although we've seen some lapses in the use of these technology most expecially the extent to which it has become too strict with off sides that has led to the cancelation of goals that should have stood in the normal case, it's just normal to see an opinion of this sort most expecially from someone that has been part of an era when decision where left in the hands of referees and linesmen.

Football is still fun and I've had to watch some of the matches that where played in the late 90s and truth be told, they were damn boring. Football has become more competitive from a lot perspective and without the use of these technology, it would almost seems impossible to handle what's going on in the world football at the moment combined with the reality that a lot of business and interest have been built around it and it's easy to manipulate officiating teams to ones side.

“Beavers are more beautiful than capybaras” - this is just an opinion and no matter how much you like/dislike it, it is impossible to dispute it. What he said is internally contradictory, that is, it is not an opinion but nonsense.
As for games, I have been watching football since the 90s (not only international and top games) and I can say that 80% of games in any era are a tedious activity that is sometimes even just hard to watch.
And if you remember how players were broken (intentionally) in the past, the level of rudeness, the level of refereeing errors, etc. I don’t know how far removed from reality you have to be to compare the football of the past with the modern one. In general, now, thanks to the Internet, you can find a lot of games from the past and watch them, but I suspect that not everyone will be able to stand more than 10-15 minutes.

I wish Argentina will not become a champion, because Ronaldo was failed to become a champion in EURO. Ronaldo doesn't deserved to get more criticism since if Messi win COPA America, people will mock Ronaldo more.

It's no doubt Argentina will beat Canada since Canada isn't a strong team.

But, in the next match they will meet Colombia or Uruguay, Argentina has a chance to lose.

It won't happen if you want it to, we have to wait for that match and its result. Argentina is an undefeated team in this year's Copa America and they are showing their strength in every match. For which everyone considers Argentina as the favorite to win this year's Copa America, but there is still doubt whether they can win. The first semi-final match of the Copa America will be held on the 10th where Argentina and Canada will face each other.

Maybe this match will be easy for Argentina team as they beat Canada in a previous match which was a group stage match. If anyone thinks that Argentina will be beaten easily then they are living in a fool's paradise because Argentina team is not so weak that they will lose easily.

The Argentina team is currently the best in the world and the current champion of the FIFA World Cup, it is the team to beat. if they're going to make it, I think it's very difficult... Canada then... practically impossible. Argentina is the favorite for the Copa América title without a shadow of a doubt. I imagine a final against Colombia, which hasn't lost games since 2022.

The reality of the situation is that the fans of both players Ronaldo and Messi are always bent over the lost of each other’s opponents failure. Messi fans were happy that France knocked out Portugal even though they were some players they love that played for Portugal team and then Ronaldo fans are wishing same thing for the Argentina side, i usually say this the bad way to support a team or player but it has been what has brought the heat of competition since the last 15 years.

Argentina to me looks like an invincible nation to be stopped in this tournament with every country that comes their way to me a work around for them. Nations like this you drag them to the penalty shootouts and pray they lose but right now even that isn’t happening because of their goal keeper Emiliano Martinez. But nonetheless Should they get pass Canada as I predict they would my prediction is they meet up with the much informed Uruguayan team and then maybe they could be stopped.

I agree with you, Argentina move was easier because it was against Canada and previously in the group stage Argentina had beaten Canada with a score of 2-0 so Argentina has a chance to do it again, but Argentina also has to be careful and avoid a draw or penalty shootout because Canada can surprise there like what happened to Brazil who had been knocked out by Uruguay. Any team can't hope for more through a penalty shootout because there are unlucky days.

As I previously predicted, maybe we will see Argentina vs Colombia in the final, I think Colombia is more worthy of going to the final after watching their last 4 matches in this tournament. Apart from that, Colombia is a team that is productive in scoring goals they scored 11 goals in 4 matches and only conceded 2 goals, that's why I say Argentina must be more careful if they fight in the final.

Even though Argentina previously managed to beat Canada when the two clashed in the group stage, they still couldn't underestimate Canada, who had made it to the semifinals. This match must be considered important for Argentina, even though their quality is superior to Canada, Scaloni must field his best squad and use the same tactics as have been used in several previous matches.

Hopefully this scenario comes true, the Argentina vs Colombia match will be the ideal final in this Copa America. Previously, I really hoped that the final of the previous edition would be repeated. If Argentina met Brazil again in the final there would be a smell of revenge, but due to Brazil performance not meeting expectations in this edition, in my opinion the ideal final would be between Argentina vs Colombia.

In today's match, the Brazil team is doing the worst performance, so that the player of the Uruguay team, Nahitan Nandez, got a red card and left the field after 74 minutes. This was Brazil's biggest opportunity as the Uruguayan defense lacked defenders. But Brazil team is very weak in attacking department as today's match could have won if Vinicius Junior was present.
Because of the shortage of defenders, this opportunity could have been exploited by the Brazilian team, but due to the current shortage of players, Brazil lost this match by a margin. Although the ball was in play, Tribeca also wasted the opportunity, so the Brazilian team was in no way eligible to play this season.

Brazil football team missed many chances and should carry every single opportunity if they want to win the trophy but no one knows what is the reason behind that kind of performance. Some people think that ,there may be match fixing because Brazil team were looking in good form and good mindset of players but they could not qualify for Semi final . Shame on Brazil players because fans expected that they will play excellent and they will the trophy but they lose in quarter final because situation was under control. N. Nández played very well and he is a single person behind the win of Uruguay team. The match was ended on penalties and both teams kicked three penalties and at the end we saw difference of two goals and Uruguay won the mat ch and qualifed for semi final. Uruguay played well and I salute the players of Uruguay team.

Whenever a player received a red card it was imperative that the Brazilian team took advantage of the opportunity immediately. The defender in particular got red carded and left the field and got a long time but somehow the Brazilian football players missed this opportunity. And there were many more chances to score but even there they missed their chances. In short, the brazil team's past pride is a downfall in the present, as they generally lost to the Uruguayan team despite having plenty of opportunities.

I mean it could be extra-time, or even penalty round, because of the tough game that will be provided by the both teams, not like Brazil did, really bad and not tough at all.

Was at first having issues with where in particular to drop this but then since it's coming from a personality from the South America I felt this should be the right place for this.

After carefully reading what Marcelo Bielsa said and contrasting it with the perspective today about how football games in tournament's, leagues in the world has been viewed and given priority akin to the team's and players over others, one will be persuaded to agree with Bielsa about the future of football among other sports.

Do you agree with his statement as a football fan or you have a different thought about this?

I read his words 5 times trying to understand his nonsense, it looks like he’s just insanity. "More and more people are watching football but it is becoming less attractive" Grin

Football is still fun and I've had to watch some of the matches that where played in the late 90s and truth be told, they were damn boring. Football has become more competitive from a lot perspective and without the use of these technology, it would almost seems impossible to handle what's going on in the world football at the moment combined with the reality that a lot of business and interest have been built around it and it's easy to manipulate officiating teams to ones side.

To say the least, his statement is that of a conservative to which the rapid changes brought into football especially with how technology has taking almost every aspect of the game despite the imperfections we do see with all of those technological introduction, I do agree with Marvelockg that football of those days can't be really compared to today's, everything has really advanced which is why those that ain't able to catch up will be left with no choice but make complain about everything. Maybe a retirement for him will be useful right now if he's not cool with everything instead of complaining.

Uruguay vs Colombia will be a very fierce match. Both teams are superior teams. Colombia has a high goal productivity but Uruguay has a solid squad. I think this match will end in a draw. I favor Colombia but if it comes to a penalty shootout I think Uruguay has a better mentality than Colombia. CMIIW

There is no doubt that this match will be competitive. We know that Uruguay are in very good form this season. Uruguay's players have performed well in every match so far. Uruguay's players also performed well against Brazil. On the other hand, the Colombian team is not a weak team. Colombia won the quarter-final match against Panama with a big margin of 5-0. From this it is understood that Colombia's attack is very strong.

In the past I have seen Uruguay vs Colombia matches are almost always competitive. The last match between these two teams was also a 2-2 draw. I watched the match. The performance of the players of both the teams was very good. So we hope that both the teams will play well in the semi-final match and we will enjoy an exciting match.

As I previously predicted, maybe we will see Argentina vs Colombia in the final, I think Colombia is more worthy of going to the final after watching their last 4 matches in this tournament. Apart from that, Colombia is a team that is productive in scoring goals they scored 11 goals in 4 matches and only conceded 2 goals, that's why I say Argentina must be more careful if they fight in the final.

Brazil did perform badly in the 2024 Copa America. After Nahitan Nandez was sent off in the 74th minute they were unable to take advantage of the difference in the number of players to score a goal and win the match. They lost on penalties and I think they deserved it. They must correct their mistakes if they want to appear in the 2026 world cup.

The semifinal match will be even more interesting to watch. Argentina is more favored against Canada because they have beaten Canada in the previous match. But they should not underestimate Canada as they will play with different pressure in the semifinals.

Uruguay vs Colombia will be a very fierce match. Both teams are superior teams. Colombia has a high goal productivity but Uruguay has a solid squad. I think this match will end in a draw. I favor Colombia but if it comes to a penalty shootout I think Uruguay has a better mentality than Colombia. CMIIW

On the other hand, the Uruguay national team have a precedent and antecedent of high-performance in the Copa America Cup. They are not your regular national team for a while now. Before you play with them, you need to be ready to face them head-on and win. This is one aspect of the team I so much respect with them. I have envisaged the Uruguay team to reach the final as against the chances of Brazil. While the Uruguay player Nandez was served a red card towards the end of the match, that did not reduce their performance in winning the quarter finals.

If I look at the performance of the Uruguayan national team in the Copa America, their performance seems to be far from consistent in the Qatar world cup. Under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, the Le Celeste squad performed quite well without losing in the Copa America championship in their four matches. For me personally, for a while I speculated that Uruguay had a slightly higher chance than its opponent in the semi-finals. However, unfortunately, the absence of several defensive lines who received red cards and Araujo, who appears to be injured, will certainly not take part in the match against Kololbia. On the other hand, the Colombian national team cannot be underestimated at all. like in the Qatar World Cup, they have high enthusiasm in every match after match. They also have a good record of playing matches without losing in 25 matches, including friendly matches. However, if we refer to the players in these two squads, Uruguay has several well-known players who can be relied on. My estimate is that this match will be tough, even though I haven't watched these two teams play match after match. However, referring to Colombia's performance in the Qatar World Cup, this team always plays aggressively with high intensity. I suspect this match will be tough. Maybe in the next match, there will be buying and selling attacks between these two teams. So, it's interesting for us to wait.

I never imagined that the Brazil team would perform so poorly, because they had so many opportunities but failed to capitalize on them. Tribaker was where they failed too, my question is why did Brazil team fail after so many opportunities. In the past, the Brazilian team was the most aggressive and strong, but why did they perform so poorly in this Copa America?

Brazil out of the picture and this gives Argentina 70% odds to win the Copa America title because they've been consistent in stellar performance and giving up for defeat is never a possible or welcomeable outcome. While their preeminent rival, Brazil recorded defeat, Brazil got eliminated from Copa America in the penalty shootout against Uruguay. It was one of the shocking moment for Brazil because they out in everything in the tournament but at the end of the day, there's a whole lot going on.

Well even when Brazil was still playing on the competition, Brazil never played like a team that actually one to makes win or feels the interest of winning that trophy. Argentina on the hand are having been excellent although they too struggles in their round first leg of and if not for anything but for the fact that Argentina and Messi really outdone themselves and deserves the position they are currently enjoying.

Messi with his Argentina team. After starting shaky, they're finding their groove. Messi is leading his side with his customary magic, proving he's the best. Argentina can handle strong teams like Brazil, which is tactically stalled

Argentina has won some big games and titles lately. They appear to be the favorites

This Copa America wakes Brazil up. If they want to win the World Cup, they must change their strategy and mentally toughen themselves. However, Argentina's momentum and teamwork could win the championship. South American soccer is changing, and it will be interesting to watch

Argentina like you rightly have been impressive in the ongoing Copa America competition but one thing I don't expect anyone to say is that Lionel Messi have been at his best in the competition so far. His contributions to the Argentina team have been poor of we all can be sincere to ourselves. Lionel Messi is yet to score in the and was even then one that missed in their last penalty shootout out. Argentina's best player in the tournament so far have been no other than Lautaro Martinez. The Inter Milan striker have been the one with most goal contributions in the tournament as well as his team and I think he should be accorded with his deserved accolades instead of giving it to Messi because he has more global popularity.
Argentina will face Canada in the semi finals of the competition and considering the quality of players in the Canadian team, Argentina are very likely to win the game if you ask me.

Well you are not wrong but during this stages a full time win isn't something that actually even guaranteed looking at how draws have been coming up of lately it's wouldn't be surprising again to see Canada actually manouver their way out and come out Victorious against Argentina and besides the whole thing with penalty is that no one can actually say who's gonna win.

In today's match, the Brazil team is doing the worst performance, so that the player of the Uruguay team, Nahitan Nandez, got a red card and left the field after 74 minutes. This was Brazil's biggest opportunity as the Uruguayan defense lacked defenders. But Brazil team is very weak in attacking department as today's match could have won if Vinicius Junior was present.
Because of the shortage of defenders, this opportunity could have been exploited by the Brazilian team, but due to the current shortage of players, Brazil lost this match by a margin. Although the ball was in play, Tribeca also wasted the opportunity, so the Brazilian team was in no way eligible to play this season.

After watching today match now I have strong feeling this generation is almost having nothing to bring Brazilian spirit back because they are having no quality and performance which needed for having back game at the top just Vini Jr was missing and all other Brazilian attack play like crap with no goal against 10 men Uruguay is surely having terrible end and exit from the event for them which was expected but not like this.

Uruguay were having not strong defense but still they have done decent job and not allow them to have any goal which bring any problem for them with this all at the end we have two missed penalties from the Brazilian players which make things terrible and it looks like those were expecting new coach is going to have some good changes are almost ended this system needs big surgery if they want to bring their golden days back otherwise this all ended.
