In Brazil national team now, it's hard to find a world class striker. Who is at similar level of Ronaldo de Lima, Adriano or even Fabiano?

Honestly, we can not find any striker in their team that is at such level now.
Yeah they are struggling to find their no. 9 player, but it's still much better imo comparing to the time when Brazil just had Jô and Vagner Love as their main strikers Grin





Wow Venezuela vs Mexico was the most intense game in this Copa America so far! I was literally shouting at TV when Romo saved that damn penalty lol, as hard as when Joselu scored a brace against Bayern last month.



Was expecting too much on them to score another goal from a counter-attack move, but yeah the final result wasn't disappointing at all. Crazy game!

Brazil will take on Paraguay on the 29th to secure the next round of the Copa America and keep themselves in the tournament. Recently the time is not going well for Brazil, in the first match against Costa Rica, this team earned only one point. Since two teams from each group will go to the next round, if Brazil fails to win the next match, then Colombia and Costa Rica will have the possibility of securing the next round. Brazil probably know these equations well so they will definitely be going out to get 3 points against Paraguay. If the Brazil team can't dominate in the Copa America or World Cup tournaments, people will lose interest in football, so we want this team to compete with every team.

As far as I can see, that's true. Chile did make it difficult for Argentina to score goals, but on the other hand, this was a deficiency in the Argentine player's finishing. In that match, Argentina made 9 shots on target from 22 attempts, but a goal from Lautaro Martínez which came in in the 73rd minute managed to make Argentina win the match.

The temporary table shows that Argentina has secured 6 points from a total of 2 wins from Canada and Chile. Argentina only needs to finish 1 more match against Peru which will be held on June 30. I think Argentina can defend their title again in the 2024 Copa, but let's see if they can actually do it.

Remember the World Cup in Qatar and how Argentina got started against Saudi Arabia, it was horrible! They lost their first game in the group stage 1-2 against Saudi Arabia. At that point in time I am convinced that 95% of the world except for the Argentinians thought that this World Cup is over for them rather sooner than later.

To me it seems that Argentina is almost never doing more than necessary to get get through those group stages. I can't remember when they marched through it in an unstoppable way. It always looks bumpy, way too close if you consider their quality and compare it to their opponents. In a normal scenario Argentina should clearly win that game by a 3 goal margin or something. But they don't and it was the same at the World Cup where they got started even worse.

I think that there are no easy opponents in the sense that you could expect Argentina to win every game like 3-0, but I would think that with a squad like that the game should never be a sweat for them until the end. But they have got the job done.

Same with Brazil though. They could really pull off a disaster beyond expectation. Their World Cup qualification is going anything but well. And now they have something like a final on gameday 2. If they lose that game against Panama for some weird reasons, shit is going to hin the fan there. I would not like to be a harcore Brazil fan these days.

Overall, in regards to consistency, I think it is quite obvious that Argentina is the favorite for the time being.

The championship is in the hands of the Argentines. I really believe that they will win it. Because the second best team, at least in name, would be Brazil. But based on the way they have been playing, they won't even be able to qualify for the next World Cup.

I think Argentina are favourites, they have so many good players. Brazil and Uruguay are strong though and there’s always the chance an outsider could do well.

I like the look of Colombia, they have players doing well in Europe.

Argentina are good no doubt but what I observed is that they support each other in every game they play, not that they're better than Brazil no, is just that they are more organized than the Brazil national team. Check it properly, Brazil have more better players than Argentina but they're struggling to get a win and believe me that Argentina are not putting much effort in this competition, is like they're already in the finals and the other countries are trying to meet up. I can't say Messi and his teammates are the favorite until we see how poor the other teams are that's when I can say but for now Brazil is number 1 favorite to win the tournament.

Lionel Messi's Argentina won their second win of Copa America 2024. Super sub Lautaro Martinez scored only a goal in 88 minutes of the match. In this win, Argentina confirmed their quarter-finals as the first team to defeat Chile. The first half of the match ended goalless. Argentina team took seventeen shots within seventy-two minutes of the match still goal did not come, After eighty-eight minutes finally the goal came. Lautaro Martinez scored. Chile's goalkeeper did very well otherwise there could have been more goals. He got the Man of the Match award for this good performance. Welcome to Team Argentina qualifying for the semi-final.

I watched my first Copa America game of the current tournament — Chile vs Argentina game. First off, compared to the Euros, it was much more lively and entertaining to watch. But I have a question. Are all Copa America games played like there's a war? Some of the tackles today looked like the players had grudges with each other. It reminded me of El Classico game with Messi and Ronaldo as rivals and Pepe + Sergio Ramos in Madrid's defense too. It was a joy to watch even though some of those tackles were just outright terrible.

I will be following up the remainder of the tournament. It is binge worthy in my books. Only problem is most of the games are played between 2-5am in my local time.

Ecuador - Jamaica in less than two hours
Ecuador is expected to win this game.

Venezuela - Mexico
This match is quite harder than the previous one but Mexico is better in my opinion.
In this match we can easily almost say that Ecuador's chance of winning in this match is very high. Some predicted that this is a must-win match for Ecuador. But there is no way to be 100% sure. Though Enner Valencia will miss the match due to picking up a red card against Venezuela but many expect Ecuador to win. Only a few minutes left, these two teams will enter the field. Very likely we can see a competitive match in the 1st hour.

Venezuela and Mexico both are strong teams. It will be difficult to predict who will win in that match. Venezuela vs Mexico in this match Mexico may be ahead because in the last few win statistics Mexico is ahead. But anything can happen on the field.

Chile was always able to make it difficult for Argentina throughout the match, Argentina defeat in the final against Chile was the saddest moment for Argentina, but they were able to recover to win the trophy when the Copa America was held in Brazil. Chile made it difficult for Argentina to score goals, they were also able to pressure Argentina with very dangerous fast attacks. Chile also had several golden opportunities, but the Chilean players' efforts were always thwarted by Emiliano Martinez, who performed very well in goal.

Successfully finishing the match with a narrow score of 1-0 was the most important result for Argentina, they managed to get revenge and made it difficult for Chile to qualify for the next round. Argentina is still able to maintain its best performance, successfully beating Chile indicates they are still very strong and have the potential to retain the Copa America trophy.
As far as I can see, that's true. Chile did make it difficult for Argentina to score goals, but on the other hand, this was a deficiency in the Argentine player's finishing. In that match, Argentina made 9 shots on target from 22 attempts, but a goal from Lautaro Martínez which came in in the 73rd minute managed to make Argentina win the match.

The temporary table shows that Argentina has secured 6 points from a total of 2 wins from Canada and Chile. Argentina only needs to finish 1 more match against Peru which will be held on June 30. I think Argentina can defend their title again in the 2024 Copa, but let's see if they can actually do it.

Peru 0 - 1 Canada
A red card for a player in Peru in the second half made the mission easier for Canada.

Chile 0 - 1 Argentina
Argentina is way more consistent than any other team here and especially Brazil that looks weaker than any time. Argentina is the favourite team in this tournament and should continue its success story.

Ecuador - Jamaica in less than two hours
Ecuador is expected to win this game.

Venezuela - Mexico
This match is quite harder than the previous one but Mexico is better in my opinion.

This game was not only uninteresting as you said but it was very shocking to everyone. It was very unfortunate for Brazil team not to be able to secure a goal against a weak team as Costa Rica. Someone said it here earlier that no team can be underestimate as they are all here for trophy and Costa Rica just proved him right. I know they dominated the game throughout but this is a tournament for God sake and opportunity should not be wasted.

Dominating game without a goal in a tournament is as good as losing the match because it adds no value to your point. It was a draw game but I see it as a lost game for Brazil. Costa Rica team surprises everyone of us who have no faith on them to wrestle with Brazil, they hold them and end up sharing point with them despite being outplayed by Brazilian team.

I don’t think we should expect much from the group stage. Brazil obviously dropped two points from this game, but they are unlikely to have a problem beating any two teams in Group D to qualify for the knockout stages. But now they have no room for error. If they do do it, it will be a disaster for a tournament where everything is done in such a way that Brazil and Argentina will play in the final.

Brazil failed to win their last match but Argentina's players made no mistakes in today's match. Argentina's players dominated from the beginning of the match. And Argentina won the match 1-0 by scoring in the last minute. Argentina won today with Martinez's goal.

Although Argentina won today by a narrow margin of 1-0, Argentina's players performed very well today. A total of 2 shots were taken by Argentina players, 9 of which were on target. From this it can be understood that Argentina's players performed well in this match and attacked a lot. But Chile played completely defensive today. This is why Argentina cannot win by a large margin. Chile's players did not attempt to score in the entire match. We only saw Argentina's dominance today.
there is nothing like a narrow draw in a major tournament as this.what you're playing for us to secure all three point to yourself and it require at least a single goal to make that happen. The numbers of goals scored is only a thing of concern for teams that are struggling to come out of the group into the knockout stage but don't have enough point. With clear 6 point advantage from three matches, Argentina don't need too much goals to proceed further in the tournament. They already have the highest numbers of goals in the group and haven't conceded a single goal yet. The practical thing that happened is that Chile played a more defensive game and weren't looking like they needed to score, when you're playing against a team with that kind of mentality, it becomes very deficult to score them and if you're not careful, they ruin your day by successfully holding you to a draw. Brazil and England suffered same fate and couldn't find a way to secure the three points to themselves. So far, Argentina has the brightest look in this current edition of the Copa America tournament and if they take this consistency to the knockout stage, they will certainly get to the finals.

I agree with you that there is no need for teams to win big in these international tournaments. Just getting 3 points is enough. And Argentina earned full points in both matches. In both the matches we saw good performances from the Argentinian players. In the first match, the opponent Canada was relatively weak. Argentina won the match 2-0. However, Chile was a very strong opponent in yesterday's match. Argentina won this match 1-0. Argentina team is at the top of the points table with 6 points in two matches. Argentina qualified for the knockout round.

Argentina team is in very good form now. And the most favorite of this year's Copa America is Argentina team. Brazil team is considered as Argentina's main rival in Copa America. But Brazil is in a very bad situation right now. The overall performance of this team is quite poor due to the lack of bonding between the players.

Brazil, even with its great team, could lose to Costa Rica, but don't doubt their potential. With this bad phase and the loss of identity of the players, they are capable of anything, even losing to teams that have no tradition or expensive players.

As I said before, this Brazilian team can't find its feet. Imagine them playing against Argentina or some other stronger team. They had 70% of the ball possession and still couldn't achieve anything.
The draw from Costa Rica makes Brazil have to fight hard to qualify for the last 8 at this time, when facing a team that they have been able to dominate but only get 1 point, of course, Brazil is now starting to doubt even though they have a very capable squad, the presence of many young stars in their squad certainly gives a lot of hope for Brazilian fans to see the Brazilian squad can achieve a lot of things together with the new era Team Samba, but in fact despite being able to perform admirably in their matches, but Brazil team does not have a good ability to score goals despite having many great attackers in their current front line.

So far, Paraguay and Colombia of course still have the potential to make it difficult for Brazil, but I hope that if Brazil can immediately find a solution to their problems so that they at least have a chance to qualify for the last 8 and if maybe will meet Argentina in the final later, I personally favor Argentina to reach the final this year and hope that Brazil will be their opponent later.

The Brazilian team is missing a center forward, a talented goalscorer. I don't know why they didn't take Pedro to this Copa América, he's very good... he's a center forward... a rare player. Dorival Junior will have a hard time reaching the level of play with this Brazilian team... if they play against better teams, Brazilian team will be massacred

They proved again that Argentina team is really a strong team. Argentina faced Chile in the second match of the 2024 Copa America. I still remember when Argentina lost a Copa America final match against this Chile team, every player in the Argentina team cried. I watched this match live on TV, maybe Argentina got their revenge.

The current performance of the Argentina team may make them come back to win this year's Copa America. The Argentina football team is already in the highest position in the group they are in as they have faced their opponents in two matches even won two of them. The Argentina team completely dominated the match against Chile even though they attacked the most. The Argentine side were unsuccessful despite many attacks but in the 87.14th minute Lautaro Martínez gave Argentina the lead. Basically, through his goal, Argentina team won against Chile.

Argentina actually played very well because they take full control of the game from the beginning till the end despite that they find it very hard to locate the back of Chile net. I expected Argentina to win the game without much stress but Chile hold them to almost a draw game despite Argentina maintained the possession with 70%. Chile too played impressive game and all praises to their goal keeper who denied Argentina every chance until the 88th minute goal that change the scoreline. The game was not a boring one as it use to be and Argentina have made their way to top the table and paved their way for the next round of the tournament. Some expert have already predicted Argentina to be the winner of the tournament as well.

As we can see that, Argentina has already won two matches, and they have qualified enough to be selected in the qualifiers. However, it is uncertain which team will win the game between Peru and Canada, but Canada is more likely to win. Canada has drawn one match and managed one win, keeping them in the second position on the points table with 3 points. However, as Canada faces Peru today, both teams will have enough attacks to win, and I see Canada as the favorite today. If Canada can win today's match, then they definitely have a chance to qualify for the next round, and I think Canada will win today's match.

Today Argentina beat Chile to qualify for the next round. A team between Canada, Peru and Chile will qualify for the next round. Canada is ahead of Peru and Chile. Canada defeated Peru today, Canada is 2nd in the points table with 3 points from 2 matches. It will be confirmed on June 30 which team will qualify for the quarter finals as the 2nd team from Group A. Next June 30th there will be a match between Peru and Argentina where the chances of Peru winning are very low. So it will be difficult for Peru to qualify for the next round. If Argentina can defeat Peru and there will be a match between Chile and Canada, Canada will qualify for the next round if Canada wins or draws the match. Canada is ahead of Chile and Peru to advance to the next round.

Even Neymar felt embarrassed during this match to the point that he covered his face several times showing that he was confused about how this could happen. In fact, Ronaldinho has said this before that the Brazilian National Team this time is the worst. Ronaldinho also said that he would not want to watch Brazil's matches in the Copa America for this time.
