So far, we've seen of the 2011 Copa America with respect to the major contenders for the title has been rather disappointing. We speak both Argentina and Brazil and Uruguay. In their respective debuts have not gone cold front draws selections in the paper "weaker", but it is known that in football nothing is ever fully told.
To begin, the host Argentina Bolivia hit to open the tournament. Everyone expected a rout apotheosis, but this did not happen. Even no exaggeration to say that they could lose to the highlands. The team coached by Sergio Batista did not live up to expectations.
Lionel Messi disappointed, was not leader of the albiceleste and appeared as usually does at Barcelona. Bolivia was winning the match and had to be decided by the Kun Agüero tie agonizing 76 minutes. For the good of football we expect the Argentine box recompose and show the best of his power.
For its part, Brazil scoreless draw against a surprising Venezuela. Despite starting with a game sweeping, than to excite a potential marker of scandal, Cariocas far with flashy moves and forgot efficiency. In the first minutes counted on several occasions, prepared and samples of the quality of their individuality ... but the fence is kept at zero. The 'burgundy' was well planted on the defensive.
Neither Robinho or Neymar given the size advertised, only Pato (AC Milan) was shown to rise to the occasion, because of their booties out the best attempts. Possibly the best in the field was an old acquaintance of the Spanish Liga, Getafe's Miku, with constant threats to the bow of the 'canarinha'. If the first time Brazil was attractive but unproductive, as the second half was much worse, proving that were lost on the road.
On the other hand, just got Uruguay with a 1-1 tie against Peru. The renovated (thanks to DT Markarian) Inca box was very tidy and hardworking and efficient defense, and the front featured a painstaking Paolo Guerrero (Hamburg player German), who scored and several dangerous moves. Despite the formidable attacking trio played by Diego Forlan, Edison Cavani and Luis Suarez, attempts were stopped charrúas mostly.
The goal of the Peruvian Guerrero (min. 23) was countered with Suarez in the final minute of the half. In the second half both teams have opportunities to get ahead on the scoreboard, but the draw persisted, being the table Celeste (fourth in the 2010 World Cup South Africa ) who was more uncomfortable.
We'll see if the following matches show a better face these choices, traditionally known as the most powerful in South America.
