C'mon Carlos, Brazil were playing at high altitude of Quito at 2,800m above sea level. Coming from Bolivia you should know that Brazil are not use to playing on such a high.

of course, altitude, how can I forget big team's most popular excuse when losing to Bolivia and Ecuador?

There were positive notes to look at after the qualifiers.
(1)Shevchenko is in irresistible form.
(2)Tomasson was able to score 2 goals against Georgia with
ease and i don't know why he is having trouble scoring for Milan consistently.

However,Kaka was really out of place throughout the whole match.There is no excuse for the high altitude.Considering the amount of talent in the Brazilian squad,high altitude should not be an excuse.Hopefully Kaka can regain his momentum

TURKEY- UKRAINE 0-3

This is not an excuse. We won Copa América twice (1997 and this year) playing in La Paz and Arequipa. Equador played better yesterday and deserved to win.
More over, the failure of the trio Ronaldo/Ronaldinho/Kaká, some players (Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos) who seem like former players and the lack of determination explain the loss.
Dida was the MOM and had another exceptional performance. Kaká had a good one, but lost two goals, and Cafu was so-so.
