I am hoping that Argentina can pull it off. Brazil has won too many tournaments and Argentina look stronger than Brazil do. My pick is Argentina to win it.

It will be Argentina's turn this time. They played well consistently throughout the tournament

Who Messi ?

I told you bet on a big horse - 15/7/2007 - Brazil conquers America once again
Brazilian National Squad defeat Argentina 3-0

http://www.copaamerica.com/default....noticias&id=826

Paulo Favero – Special Correspondent

Maracaibo – In the final of Copa América - Venezuela 2007, Brazil clinched one more title, their eighth in the competition. Victory came against bitter rivals Argentina 3-0, in Maracaibo, in a match that closed the tournament in stylish fashion. At the end, a standing ovation for Dunga, Robinho, Juan, Vagner Love and Júlio Baptista's team, amongst others.

Brazil began in top form. With only 4 minutes of play, Vagner Love intercepted a pass by Messi, and linked up with Elano. The player made a pinpoint cross from right to left to midfielder Júlio Baptista, who sent the ball into the top corner to open the scoring.

Argentina tried to level the account, and had quality players to do so. On 8 minutes, Messi began a beautiful play on the left, before supplying a cross to Veron, who headed the ball to Riquelme, whose stike exploded onto the upright. On 16 minutes, Maicon's shot was deflected by an Argentinean defender, almost beating keeper Abbondanzieri, who managed to make the save just in time.

One minute later, the same Maicon delivered a low cross, which was sent out by the Argentineans for a corner-kick. On 34 minutes, Riquelme pounced on a rebound by the Brazilian defense and struck goal-wards, only to see Doni make a spectacular save.

Argentina continued searching for an equalizer, and were dangerous with their set-plays. Brazil were able to mount a solid defense, mainly with their defensive midfielders Josué e Mineiro. Both seemed tireless. When Argentina were stepping up the pressure, Brazil added their second. On 40 minutes, Daniel Alves broke down the right and made a cross. Defender Ayala tried to intercept it and scored an own-goal.

After the break, the match became more physical, since both teams went in search of victory. Argentina began setting the agenda, but Brazil kept breaking on the counter. On 62 minutes, Argentina came close to reducing the gap with Aimar e Messi, but in both occasions, the Brazilian defenders blocked their shots.

Brazil mounted a heavy marking in midfield, especially on talented Messi, Riquelme and Tevez. On a swift counter-attack, Vagner Love left Daniel Alves alone before the Argentinean keeper. The right-back struck in the far corner to extend the Brazilian lead. Then, it was time for a Brazilian celebration to break out in Maracaibo.

I had this strange dream last night that they had invented these boxes that displayed pictures on their screens. On and on this box, i was able to watch the entire Brazil V Argentina match

In my dream they won 3-0 with Baptista, an own goal and Alves all registering for the Brazilians.

So my money is on Brazil and for these picture display boxes to be hugely popular and in the majority of homes world wide real soon. Remember, you heard it here first
