Well deserved victory for Colombia. Brazil was shit, first defeat to Colombia since 1991 if I'm not mistaken.

What I like about the Copa so far is that the 'smaller' nations seems to have no problem in attacking the top sides. Refreshing to see.

Gone for ages. Copa Libertadores (the South American equivalent for the UCL) has increased among with the larger diversity of South Americans that play in Europe nowadays. Look at Chile, last time they were so good was probably the mighty Chile of 1962. Colombia, usually small now has a very decent team with chances to reach higher levels of the competitions. Why would they hold this fear? Because Brazil at some point had Pelé, Zico, Ronaldinho? Why would James fear Messi or Otamendi when attacking if they play regularly against each other? (Just examples). Copa América is somewhat equal now, and the most important - they know it. |

neymar out for the rest of the tournament, his legacy for Brazil is starting off rough. Unless you are the team of 1982, if have no world cups, you have no legacy. The group got far more interesting now, everyone has 3 pts and one match to decide. Mexico got eliminated by Ecuador last night, lost 2-1 |

The way they're going, either they reconstruct themselves or every World Cup for the next 50 years we will watch clips from 2002 whilst the media says "it's now!!!" |

Argentina are a funny one. On paper they have an absolute dream side, yet they rarely seem to go for it in games. Seem happy enough to coast.

Seen highlights of the Arg-Jamaica game. At least some signs of Angel getting his mojo back.

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
