i saw that goal/ 2nd for Crespo. It looked like it was set up, trough ball, by Messi. Correct me if i am wrong. Argentines also showed some nice trick with a freekick few mins ago, almost worked out fine the ball missed the head by a foot or so. (crespo's again?)

Beautyiful, 3-1 now. A nice cross from the left and a go-ahead running header, all done with nice speed and movement.

Tevez for Messi.

4-1, one-on-one by Tevez, coolly slotted the sphere past the keeper in the corner of the goal.

Wow, replay shows Tevez' perfect first touch and then forward-advancing knee-ball.

Gringos are barely moving now. tired or frustrated, i guess.

I watched it too - Crespo's killer instinct was on show yet again. Very goo dgame by Messi and the entire Argentinian team - a one-sided game for pretty much the entire 90 min.
Good game by Paraguay earlier today too.

The guy is also very acrobatic. He almost connected with one high-flying pass.
I would say only MvB couldve done better. Sigh.....

Copa America is being, to my big surprise, really a lot of fun: very disputated games, lots of beautiful goals, great invidual displays.

Only thing that borhers me is that the games are from 00h - 05 am my time... But im still watching it, mostly...

riquelme looked the bit last night also veron turned back the yrs it took them long to break down a young USA side but once they brought on aimar in 60th min it changed the game 22 passes before aimars header went in amazing stuff!

I am half Bolivian so obviously i am cheering for them even though they are heavy underdogs.

yea reallly good games so far...a real schoker abt the brazil game....i guess ronaldihnio was too buzy hanging out with kaka in milan trying to figure out when he will sign...

As someone who doesn't have access to these games, i hope a few of you will be kind enough to give detailed reports on the games ... i'm looking at you Kastri Not to mention Zlat, Tony, mrki and anyone else viewing the matches

I'll start doing that for you Jimmy boy. You should have asked us earlier. I'm yet to miss a match

I have money on a big fat draw in Mexico-Chile and so far so good.
Nothing special on this match though, but Mexicans (especially Marquez and Castillo) impressed so far in this tournament.
Marquez is a rock while Castillo, eventhough he's selfish, plays for Olympiacos and made the greatest miss of all time against Brazil, was a real threat everytime he had the ball.

Brazil starts later tonight and it should be another boring match because a draw will do for the Brazilians. But at least we'll get to see some less famous Brazilian players in action
