Copa America 2007 final

Brazil 3 Argentina 0

A deserved Brazil win in the final. I think the coach was instrumental - last game Mexico showed how you need to play Argentina - close down the attackers - and having been one of the most greatest DMs himself, Dunga imbued his defensive strategies on Riquelme. You'd think when captain Gilberto Silva was missing after being consistently in the starting lineup, it will break the team's rhythm, Dunga has a lot of DMs in his team to do a similar job.

Reflecting briefly on the game, the Argentinian attacking players, who have been rampant all tournament, were all quiet. A few inches makes the difference in football, Baptista's shot could have sailed over the bar like it would have the last 12 months, Riquelme would have crashed the net a few minutes later likewise.

Nothing else to be said here and now. This will be the last time, save a few little drabbles, I will talk about football here in my Blogger, because I will open up a new blog for my football rants soon. It will be a platform to showcase my writing skills for the future in some sort of media.
