Brazil won because they were far more superior tactically. Riquelme, Veron nor Cambiasso were able to connect with the forwards because the brazilians completely out-played them in the mid-field. And when the brazilians had a chance, they opted for swift counter-attack. Actually, all three goals were scored in counter-attacks. Brazilian defense deserves a lot of credit for keeping Messi and Tevez dormant. In modern football, fouling a player for ceasing the play is a technique too. It looks ugly but thats the way football is played these days. Anyways, Brazil won and thats the end of the story. Argentina played extremely well up until today but they left the job half-done. Better luck for them next time?
