I think Uruguay vs USA will end in a draw because Uruguay will manage some important players and rest them for next phase. For me , Uruguay played the best football so far in Copa America and I think they will reach finals for sure and with a bit of luck they can even win it.
...

United States should have taken 6 points, or at least 4 points from the games against Bolivia and Panama, to go into the last game with more peace of mind, but with the defeat to Panama, it got very complicated

A draw against Uruguay would be very good in a normal situation, but now it will depend entirely on the Panama x Bolivia game
Bolivia still have a very remote chance of qualifying, but they still have

I really don't like what Brazil is playing so far because they are treating every game like a friendly one and last night they had luck in 2 goals from their total of 4 and without Vini.JR , who could actually score for them ? I also think if they face Argentina in next phases , they will be simply smashed with what football is Argentina currently playing. Cool

Yesterday Brazil played well, created plenty of chances and won without too much difficulty
Brazil are still at the start of a new cycle, while Argentina are already a continuation of Scaloni's work, so Argentina is better at the moment, I agree

Vinicius Junior has been in excellent form this season. He has played well in La Liga and Champions League and scored a lot of goals. 15 goals and 5 assists in 26 matches in La Liga. Scored 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 Champions League matches. VIni has won both Champions League and La Liga titles. And now Vini is performing very well in the national team jersey. This year's Ballon d Or contender is now Vini. Vinicius has the best chance to win the Ballon dOr.

We saw Brazil's poor performance against Costa Rica. But Brazil's overall performance against Paraguay impressed everyone. Vini scored two goals. Brazil would have won the match 5-1 had Paqueta not missed the first penalty.

A big victory over Paraguay allowed Brazil to maintain their hope and chances to qualify for the last 8, previously the Brazil squad received a lot of criticism after they were only able to get 1 point from a weak Costa Rican team, although Brazil dominated in the match against Costa Rica but the bluntness of the front line made Brazil have to end the match with a score of 0-0, If we compare the quality of the existing squad, of course Brazil has been the favorite to winner from Group D since the beginning of the Copa, but instead we see the surprise of how Brazil started the first match with only 1 point and made many people who began to think skeptically about Brazil ability to win copa.
Vinicius has shown quite an impressive performance with Madrid, so indeed Brazil at this time of course depends on Vinicius to be able to lead Brazil to win the Copa America, currently the Brazil squad actually has a lot of talented young players, but I think the lack of experience of these young players in international matches certainly makes Brazil not as strong as we thought.

This win was much needed by Brazil. For a long time we have not seen good performances from Brazilian players. The performance of this team has been very erratic in the last few matches. Despite having a strong squad, the players were not able to perform well. Even in the first match of the Copa America, we do not see a better performance than Brazil. So a 4-1 win against Paraguay will boost the confidence of Brazil's players. Brazil can do well in the Copa America if the players are confident. Otherwise Brazil will not be able to qualify for the finals with such an erratic performance. .

Brazil will play against Colombia in the next match. Colombia is a strong team. Colombia won both of the two matches. Colombia also won the last match against Brazil by a margin of 2-1. So it is going to be very difficult for Brazil to win their next match.

Indeed Columbia are one of the best teams of the tournament although I can only pick a handful of the teams that are upto world class standard and I think Columbia is amongst them. Although Costa Rica have their own way of things as they magical drew Brazil to an all nill draw but I think that same result will be hard to replicate against this Columbian side who are actually playing quite well.

Colombia is doing good and they are leading right now with 3 goals to 0 vs Costa Rica which managed to get a draw when they faced the Brazilian team! I don't know if this result shows how powerful is Colombia or how bad is Brazil currently.. There is like 15 minutes left in the game by the way and Costa Rica is away from scoring a goal apparently.
In another match played hours before, Uruguay won 5 - 0 against Bolivia. I believe Bolivia will quit from the group stage. The political instability might contribute to these bad performances and results.

Well the US beat Bolivia 3-0 and Uruguay is leagues better than the US team that lost to Panama. So 5-0 shouldn't seem so far off of where they should be. The real game in this group will be Bolivia vs Panama. I can't see the US beating Uruguay so if Panama can win they can lock up 2nd place. Sad showing for the US side.

Brazil did look like they are better, but is it permanent or is it temporary? We do not know that yet, and we can't possibly know because there will be just few more games in the whole tournament, you don't get to play 30+ games like a league, you get to play just a few.

Argentina still looks by far the best team without a doubt, so I think it should be considered a little different because we are looking into this as something that will get some better results but until Brazil faces Argentina if that ever happens. I think Brazil most likely won't get even that far, but if they do, then I think Argentina is far superior nowadays and they will do better. Uruguay even looks better than Brazil right now if you ask me.

Brazil have just earned yet another penalty, it was exactly a carbon copy of the same penalty that Paraguay conceded in the first half with the player having his hands not tucked behind his body. This quite very unfortunate for Paraguay, I think they've tried playing well enough to not deserve this kind of score line to be fair, especially with conceding 2 penalties in a single match.

Brazil get a big win and secure their ticket to a next round of Coppa America 2024 and it's good for them because Vinicius Jr. is back. He is a most important attacking player in their squad this Coppa America and without a world class striker, their dependence on Vinicius is big. This generation player of Brazil lack of good strikers, midfielders and attacking contributions from their wing back players are limited too.

What better way could they have silenced the heavy criticism they received after the first game which they drew, and it was not for a fact that they didn't play well, several legend called them out and they were various slanders. The major problem about this Brazilian squad in my opinion is that they're still very young, so it could take a while for them to reach their uttermost peak in terms of performance and team chemistry. They'll surely figure out it and dominate the football world once again, they might not even be far off from reaching that point.

The beginning was unlucky for Brazil. Despite all that dominance they couldn't defeat Costa Rica. However these things are a part of football, sometimes you just can't score how hard you try.

That high effort was still pointing a good thing for later and it really happened.

Brazil did what was expected from them, a simple destruction against Paraguay. Cool

Vinicius Junior gave his best surely. Do these performances also count for Ballon d'Or or do they see this like the new season? By the way it was nice to see Savio scoring. He is a rising star lately undoubtedly.

Although Brazil won today's match, Vinicius Jr. scored a pair of goals. But unfortunately he couldn't score a hat-trick, but there were enough chances to score a hat-trick. But in the beginning, the Brazilian team got a penalty, but missed it. But Paraguay tried hard enough to win, in this case Brazil team performed very well today.

Vinicius Jr is putting himself forward to claim the Ballon D'or price this year. If he keeps scoring goals and pushing this Brazilian team that they can make it to the finals and win games. He already had a good season with Real Madrid in Spain and in the Champions League So if he is able to crown it up with a good success with Brazil in the Copa America there will be no debate about the best candidate to win the award. Vinicius has to maintain same high performance all through this competition, because the award can be given to kroos or Bellingham if they have a good time with the teams in the Euro competition.

An outstanding performance from Vini in the match with two goals, how I wish that Brazil can win this cup, it would automatically make Vini Ballon D'or winner, but my fear is Argentina. Argentina is very strong and they have being consistent with their matches. Bellingham and Kross are in the same competition so it will be one of them that will win it if Germany win Euros, and that will be based on the individual performance. This is if Brazil did not win Copa America.

Scoring a hat trick is not important, because he has made a big contribution to Brazil today and that is enough, in fact, he could have scored a hat trick if Lucas Paqueta had not taken the second penalty but the Brazilian coach still trusted Paqueta, even though he previously failed to convert the penalty into a goal.

Brazil only needs to focus on the third match against Colombia, in theory Brazil is guaranteed to qualify for the quarter-finals because even Costa Rica wins over Paraguay it will be difficult to catch up with Brazil in goal differences, but winning over Colombia will make them group winners and their opponents in the quarter-finals will be easier than if they only finished second in the group, and Colombia beat them in qualifying for the world cup so this is a warning that their opponents are equal in strength to them.

I couldn't watch the live match because I was sleeping. It was too later to stay awake to watch the match. I managed to watch the highlight. 4 - 1 win is not bad but it could be even better with a 6 - 1 or at least 5 - 1. Good to see Vinicius scoring for Brazil.

I watched the whole game, here it started at 10pm
Brazil played better, managed to create more chances, Vini Jr finally played better, and as I had predicted, Savinho played and managed to help the team a lot

Now I'm going to be more pessimistic
At the 2022 World Cup Brazil had a great win against South Korea, 4x1, and then lost to Croatia
It's a bit common for the Brazilian team to get a big win against a weaker team and then their ego gets too big and they play badly in the next game
I hope that doesn't happen, but Colombia are going to be very tough opponent

Try to watch this match, it's bound to be a great game

Brazil's players have performed well in this match. In the first match we saw Brazil's bad formation and bad match strategy. But in this match, Brazil managed to solve the problems within their squad. The Brazil coach has changed his formation. And I would say that's why Brazil won by a big margin. If Vinicius had been placed in place of Rodrygo in this match too, we would not have seen a better performance from Brazil in this match.

The most important player in Brazil's squad is Vini. Vinicius has the ability to score as well as assist. Vini is slowly becoming a game changer. Despite not playing well in the first match, Brazil made a great comeback against Paraguay. Brazil won by 4-1.

Brazil's matchday 2 match was able to answer the public's doubts after performing quite impressively by achieving a landslide victory over Paraguay with a score of 4-1. Vinicius Jr show his top perform today after scoring two goals and show the Brazil's fans get disappointed with their first match result after being draw by Costa Rica. Brazil actually has opportunity with winning over 5 goals if Lucas Paquetá if his penalty kick on 31th minutes not failed.

Brazil's head coach Dorival Júnior not change yet with current composition when Brazil being draw against Costa Rica, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo playing at the first minutes and both of them had impressive performance today give the first three points in Copa America. Brazil have one match left and get one point enough qualified to next round but Brazil want secure three points and finish as the first standings position team.

Today Brazil should start with Savinho (Girona) who played very well in the minutes he was on the field, and in my opinion the young man should have a good game, or at least try his best, and that's a good thing
Paraguay usually don't concede many goals (but they don't score either hahaha) so it's going to be a tough game
Brazil have to play with total focus on attack, to score goals, secure the win and have a good goal difference to then play Colombia, that will be Brazil's biggest challenge

I know Endrick is quite young, but I'd like to see him play more time
I miss Brazil taking more risks and putting youngsters with a lot of desire to play instead of make a "technical" game

I couldn't watch the live match because I was sleeping. It was too later to stay awake to watch the match. I managed to watch the highlight. 4 - 1 win is not bad but it could be even better with a 6 - 1 or at least 5 - 1. Good to see Vinicius scoring for Brazil.

The Brazilian national team gave a fantastic victory in this match, they managed to beat Paraguay with a score of 4-1. Brazil's victory this time was very impressive through good cooperation, as was done by Vinicius Jr. Vinicius managed to have a very significant impact on their victory this time, by providing 2 goals, and even the goal scored by Savio was also an impact provided by Vinicius Jr. This match was very interesting because of the many attacks between the two teams and of course the performance given by Vinicius Jr, who deserved to be the man of the match this time.

Maybe this is what a coach needs in a team that is full of stars but lacks a strong attack. So if Brazil team appoints an experienced coach in their team then surely the team will be stronger and can perform this well in every match.

There's nothing wrong with the manager (Dorival Junior), he has made the most suitable composition for the current Brazilian team, just like Netherlands, currently Brazil lacks good strikers, that's the only problem. Then, about their first matchday against Costa Rica, it was entirely because of Brazil's bad luck, just look at the statistics, Costa Rica had a very small percentage of ball possession, but they played very defensively to get maximum results.

forget about the hatrick and let's face the fact that this is what we've all been yearning for to see from vinicius. He showed an high level of class and quality he had lacked in his previous games and scoring two goals in this encounter makes it just too beautiful to behold. This is certainly a good one for him and it will go on to build his momentum and confidence in the coming games.

On the aspect of the balon d'or, we've seen that almost all the likely options that are fit to take this edition of the balloon d'or are playing below expectation in there home country. Jude Bellingham has been consistent in his bad form at England and harry Kane hasn't done better. Tony Kross has been average and at least done better than Jude and Kane combined together mbape, foden and halland are still playing average plus considering that at thier club level vinicius already has an advantage over them after leading his team to winning the champions league, it all adds up to the fact that if we see better performance from vinicius and the Brazilian team in the coming games and they manage to win or get to the finals of copa America, he's certainly going to be the most likely to win the balon d'or.

Both teams' attacks were very close in this game, but the Brazil team was able to score because of the experienced completion of their players. However, the defenders of the Paraguay team are at least weaker than the Brazil team, the goal that Saviho made in the 43rd minute was due to the only defender. He made a misjudgment in the blink of an eye and headed the ball towards the paint which touched the leg of the player and went straight into the ball.

Brazil's players have performed well in this match. In the first match we saw Brazil's bad formation and bad match strategy.

With or without a hat-trick, Vinicius Jr. did absolutely well and lived up to expectations. His two goals were clean and fantastic, so we must commend him for the effort.

What I don't seem to understand in the match was why they allowed Lucas Paqueta' to play the second penalty after missing the first penalty. Maybe they gave him a second chance to correct his mistake so that he will not live with the guilt of missing Brazil's first goal of the match. Luckily, he was able to correct the mistake and scored the 4th goal for Brazil. I'm really impressed with the performance of Brazil and this win just increased their chances of qualifying for the next round, they just need a draw with Columbia to succeed whereas their closest rival Costa Rica need to win Paraguay with about 5 goals margin to displace Brazil, and that is if Brazil loses their last match.

Brazil got big win and we saw how their game was truly extraordinary, their strong defense and sharp front line continued to attack Paraguay until in the end the match finished with score of 1 - 4.
In this way, Brazil has also been able to get full points to stay in second place in Group D and now has one match left against Colombia, which is also the top of the group for the time being.
Brazil only needed draw against Colombia to ensure they could qualify for the next round, because with just 1 additional point Brazil had confirmed themselves as the team that was runners-up in the group phase.

But indeed the success in Brazil victory also shows that Vinicius Jr is the star figure in today match, he scored two goals very well.
There was chance to get hat-trick but he failed to get it, it just that today performance with the two goals he scored is proof that Vinicius Jr is very talented young player that Brazil has.
