mojam Posted July 24, 2004 The copa america games are of a better quality than the Euro games. I always knew the European games were over-rated but didn't realize it was such a big difference. The South American's unlike the Europeans are not afraid of taking changes. The team of Brasil has been the most amazing team in this tournament. Most of the players that are playing are from the younger team. Yes, the U23 team. The final game will be great and can go either way. Here are the final 8 results: Quarter Finals Peru vs Argentina 0-1 Colombia vs Costa Rica 2-0 Paraguay vs Uruguay 1-3 Mexico vs Brasil 4-0 Semi Finals Agentina vs Colombia 3-0 Uruguay vs Brasil 1-1, 3-5 on penalties Consolation Game Saturday July 24 Colombia vs Uruguay Final Sunday July 25 Brasil vs Argentina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted July 26, 2004 lol u can not be serious man, the Euro games may not have as many goals as the defences are way better than the South Americans. A good goal in South America is due to a lack of defending whereas in europe its due to 'maskax'! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thinkerman Posted July 26, 2004 I didnt watch all the games Mojam but the ones i did watch, although they had alot of moments of skill, the quality tactically was very poor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking Posted July 27, 2004 More entertaining, maybe, but not better quality. It is not highly regraded, just look at the absence of big names like Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho and Kaka from the Brazilian team. They were left out of the Copa America and the coach has been experimenting with new players for the world cup qualifiers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mojam Posted August 4, 2004 Used to the North American style of points points & points. But the European game must be better since the teams that make it to the big games have competed for their one spot against 52 other teams to qualify. Whereas in the Copa America all ten South American countries qualify automatically and tho additional teams are invited such as this years Mexico & Costa Rica. Final Brasil - Argentina 2-2 (4-2 penalties) 3rd Colombia - Uruguay 1-2 correction from the orginal post. Mexico vs Brazil 0-4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
