After the retirement of players like Cavani and Suarez, Uruguay's overall condition was somewhat weak. But right now this group is very strong. They have talented players like Nunez, Araujo, Pellistri and Valverde in their squad. And the important thing is that the chemistry between the players is very good. This is why Uruguay performed well in every match of the group stage. Uruguay is expected to win against Brazil as well.

Come to think of it, Uruguay has an history of good players forming their national team squad because hardly you will find a year they are not going to boast of at least a player who's playing well at the club sides. As a matter of fact, Uruguay is one of the most successful if not the most performing national team in the Copa Cup competition with an historic 15 titles to their name since from the beginning and they have tried to maintained the same stride with Argentina all these while who have same wins. Someone watching from outside would have banked more on Brazil but it is quite obvious that Uruguay is one of the most promising national teams in the competition.

For me it will be a big surprise if Brazil loses the next match against Uruguay, because they have always reached at least the quarter finals of every championships and tournaments they participate. So far, the current Copa America has been more or less predictable in my opinion. We don't have totally surprising results, but few of them are unexpected. Besides the situation of Brazil, another surprise is Venezuela ruling Group B, while Mexico which has been a strong american national team in the previous World Cups is in third position.But I still think it's possible for Brazil to defeat Uruguay. Probably if Brazil and Uruguay were in inverted places, Brazil would have also won against Panama, USA and Bolivia in this first groups' stage. Sometimes to win or lose in soccer has also a bit of luck involved... Skills and techniques aren't deterministic, unless the players are cold blood and don't get too affected by emotions, like national teams from Netherlands and Germany used to be in previous decades.
Brazil's game only made clear how difficult it is for them to score goals. They simply can't shoot from outside the area; they have to get the ball into the goalkeeper's hands to try to shoot.
This is so obvious that Brazil's only goal was from a set piece.

We're missing a natural center forward, I don't know why Dorival Junior didn't take Pedro, Flamengo's striker. For me, he is the best center forward active in Brazil, he is a complete center forward, he shoots with both legs, heads, dribbles, pivots...

I too am not at all satisfied with Brazil's overall performance. I expected to see a better performance from the Brazilian players. But Brazil completely failed to live up to my expectations.
The main two strong teams in Group D were Brazil and Colombia. However, Brazil managed to win only one match out of 3 matches. Brazil share points with Costa Rica and Colombia. Brazil have many star players in attack, but their performances have been poor.
Brazil got problems with their national team recent years not only in Coppa America 2024 this summer. Recent years, they did not have a top notch striker that they used to have in the past with Ronaldo, Adriano, Fabiano and attacking midfielders no longer have as same as high quality as the past generations. Attacking wing defenders have lower quality than previous generations with Cafu, Carlos, Marcelo, Dani Alves. Generally I can say Brazilian national team have many problems and some super star players like Vinicius Junior is too less to cover their whole team.The main two strong teams in Group D were Brazil and Colombia. However, Brazil managed to win only one match out of 3 matches. Brazil share points with Costa Rica and Colombia. Brazil have many star players in attack, but their performances have been poor.
The main weakness of Brazil's squad right now is their lack of experienced players. In attack Vini, Raphinha and Rodrygo are not experienced enough. They are very talented no doubt. But if you want to perform well in the national team jersey, you need experience. Despite having plenty of talented players in Brazil's attack, their performances have been erratic due to a lack of experience. This group may become stronger in future, but it needs time. At the same time, Brazil definitely needs an experienced coach.
Uruguay is a very strong team as we have already seen. Uruguay is one of the favorites for this year's Copa America title. So unless Brazil's performance improves, I don't see any chance of them winning against Uruguay.
Uruguay had some disappointed tournaments recently when their legendary players like Forlan, Suarez, Cavani retired or experienced last years in their career. This Coppa America gives me a surprising performance of Uruguay and hope that they can win a first big title after many decades and also debut a new player generation in next several years to compete with Brazil and Argentina in Coppa America and other teams in World Cup.After the retirement of players like Cavani and Suarez, Uruguay's overall condition was somewhat weak.

Brazil were really disappointing against Colombia. They should consider themselves lucky to get that draw with such a horrible performance. 
Considering the quarter final matchups:
- Argentina - Ecuador
- Venezuela - Canada
- Colombia - Panama
- Uruguay - Brazil
These are my predictions. Yeah I see Brazil out in this phase already unfortunately. Because Uruguay look more stable to me. Brazil are quite unpredictable. By the way Vinicius Junior is going to miss this game as well because of being yellow card suspension. Uruguay are seen as the underdog of course however the gap of odds isn't that big.
I expect Venezuela - Canada also to be a really close one but I see Venezuela one step ahead because of their form.

Wow. Considering that Vinnie will be absent, it will be incredibly difficult to predict the result of this game. To be honest, at first when I saw the quotes I thought it was easy money (bet on Brazil), but in fact Brazil is now a big brand but nothing else. I can imagine the disappointment of the tournament organizers if Brazil really leaves it, I think everyone will agree that if you are not from the participating country, then this tournament is interesting to you only because of this confrontation. Still, the European Championship is much more interesting.
If we look at the statistics in the group stage of course Uruguay for now is still better than Brazil but when the big match happens I think it will be difficult to predict. ...
I agree with the prediction when the two teams meet in the Copa America quarter-finals.When Uruguay beat America in round 3 of Group C, Luis Suarez entered the field to be replaced by Darwin Nunez, that was a moment that I really enjoyed.
Of course, Brazil is not an easy opponent for Uruguay to beat even though Brazil in this Copa America are not very strong based on the game they have shown so far.
The Uruguay vs Brazil match is a big match that will be interesting and I expect more from Uruguay.
It is possible that this match will continue until 15:15 of extra time.
Argentina is playing very well in this year's Copa America Cup. All the matches of the group stage gave good games to the football lovers. Argentina finished the group stage as undefeated champions. However, their cause of concern was captain Lionel Messi. Messi injured his right leg muscle in the second match of the Copa against Chile. Argentina will face Ecuador in the first quarter-final of the Copa America at the Houston Stadium in Texas on Friday (June 5).Defender Marcos Acuna. Messi returned from injury and joined the training of the team. On the other hand, defender Marcos Acuna has also joined training.

I expect more from Brazil at the Copa America this time especially with the depth of the squad they have actually Brazil they should be better than what they are currently showing but indeed Dorival Júnior seems unable to maximize Brazil's strength when it should be with the strength of the players they have should be their performance more than this. But Dorival Júnior seems to have difficulty making some schemes that suit the current condition of the players.
In the first half, Colombia conceded 1 goal, through a free kick taken by Raphinha, and fortunately Daniel Munoz's goal managed to make the score equal. In the second half, attack after attack between the two teams occurred, but did not produce any results until the match was finished. This made Colombia the winner of Group D with 7 points, while Brazil became the runner up with 5 points, so that both teams managed to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Brazil which is considered the top team in Group D, actually performed beyond expectations, in the three matches they played they were only able to achieve one win and two draws. Brazil had to settle for qualifying for the round of 16 as runners up due to failing to maintain their victory over Colombia. Both managed to qualify for the next round because they managed to collect more points than Costa Rica and Paraguay, but qualifying as runner up was not Brazil target in the group stage.Brazil will face Uruguay in the quarter-finals, while Colombia, who qualified as group winners, will be challenged by Panama. Brazil, which holds the status as the leading team in this competition, must improve its quality if it wants to qualify for the next round. The ideal final could potentially be between Brazil vs Argentina if they both manage to beat their opponents.

Brazil team is not performing well this season, usually they draw with Colombia team. If the Brazil team has performed so poorly against ordinary teams, then how will they win the next matches. Such a poor performance rule should never dream of a final, today's game wasted enough chances, especially Rodrigo and Vinicius Jr. they didn't perform well from key points where the Brazil team failed.
The Colombia team has not lost matches since 2022, it is very strong. The Brazilian team's biggest problem is the lack of a standard of play and is full of overrated players. Neymar has carried this team on his back for more than 10 years, when he doesn't play, the entire team becomes much worse off, Vinicius Junior will not be the savior like Neymar always was.
A win for Brazil would have seen them in the quarter-finals against Panama as Group D champions but that was not to be. Now due to the draw in the match, they have tough opponent Uruguay in the quarter finals as runners up in group D.

Vini is excellent striker now. He has already proved his ability. Vinicius' performances in the last two seasons with Real Madrid have been excellent. Vini is a worthy contender for this season's Ballon d'Or. But he is not able to play well with the Brazilian team. In fact, none of the players in the squad are performing well with the Brazilian team. I would say this is the coach's weakness. Players cannot adapt themselves to match strategy.
Colombia is a strong team. The way Brazil performed in this match, I thought Colombia might win the match. Brazil was lucky so they got 1 point from the match.

Uruguay is in a good form and don't mess with their opportunities on the field, which will be an advantage to them with the fact that Vini is not playing.
Yesterday I had great luck betting on the games of the Copa America (I was unlucky in the European Championship), I couldn't believe my eyes that I won a lot with a small stake.
My tips were Brazil vs. Colombia draw and Costa Rica win, unbelievable that this combination bet worked out.
I'm still a bit unsure about the quarter-finals, but I still have something to think about.

In last few years if we have decline in Brazilian soccer, but we have amazing development in few teams with Columbia is also one of them with their streak of having no lost extending, and they are doing amazing stuff before this game I was having strong feeling they will be able to over through again Brazil, but sadly things were no favourable, and we have some problems into their finishing but still things were favourable for them, and they are having good result at the end which allow them to have top spot in their group.
Brazil which is having troubling time in last few years are trying their best for having good results, but sadly they are still having not good strategy for winning games against quality teams which is the big problem for them now they are going to face Uruguay which is also the toughest side in recent time, and it's not going to be easy for them without Vini Jr.
Brazil's current performance has to be paid dearly because they will face Uruguay, which is a strong team, while Colombia will face Panama. Even though it is important for Brazil to achieve first place in order to avoid being ranked first in another group. It must be admitted that the old Brazil no longer exists. They have lost their roots and are hungry for glory. So I don't think Brazil can win against Uruguay in the Quarter Finals.Brazil which is having troubling time in last few years are trying their best for having good results, but sadly they are still having not good strategy for winning games against quality teams which is the big problem for them now they are going to face Uruguay which is also the toughest side in recent time, and it's not going to be easy for them without Vini Jr.
To be honest, in this Copa America, I don't really favor Brazil in the race for the trophy, maybe Argentina will still retain the Copa America trophy because their performance is still solid and strong. Even though Brazil has good and talented players, it's just that the coach isn't that good, maybe it's time for Brazil to be humble, throw away their ego, and bring in a coach from outside Brazil to welcome the 2026 World Cup.
Brazil may have a real test against Uruguay as Uruguay is a very experienced and strong team. Uruguay may not give concessions to Brazil in any way, then we are waiting to see whether Brazil will lose or be defeated in that match.
Despite Chile didn't make out of the group stage I was still impressed with their performance because playing 10 against 11 is not an easy thing, the seriously hold on to Canada in defending themselves. The faith of group A is now clear, Argentina and Canada make it out of group A, Argentina are the first to be known to win all the three matches played in the group stage, making a total of 9 points, 5 goals and zero conceded goals. Let see how the remaining group goes, maybe if they can make like Argentina, in my own opinion Argentina remain the favourite to win the trophy.
The performance of Argentina Football team is top class and they are playing with full confidence and their energy level is top class and they have capability to win against any big team . Their defenders are doing great for the team and I think they will give their best to win match against any team and at any situation.Their goalkeeper Martínez is in excellent form and he has super abilities to stop the ball and his sense of humour is top class and he is beneficial for the team . While I am not satisfied by the performance of Chile team and they should do one goal against Canada but they could not do that and they missed many chances. With that kind of performance,Chile team could not win the tournament. Chile team should be fully prepare to win this Cup.We have disappointing event for the few teams as well with the USA, Mexico and Chile are having not good performance, and they need to be had change of their strategy before world cup if they want to have better results otherwise things are going to be from bad to worse for them.
