First of all, I am a big Brazil fan and I have followed them ever since I knew about football. Having said that, I do not want to be dismissive about the fact that Argentina played a good football in COPA. Just because they lost the final does not mean that we have a right to take away the credit they deserve. Please don't be judgmental or insensitive for that matter. I read an article about the way current Brazil and Argentina play football in soccernet.com and it was rather interesting and very thoroughly thought over and written article. The gist of that particular article was that Argentina was playing free flowing, attacking game (the way Brazil used to play) where as Brazil opted for tactically balanced, defense first game (the way Argentina used to play) without caring much about the beautiful play they were often associated with and caring only about the end result. THEY SWAPPED THEIR PLAYING STYLES. I thought it was very true up until the final because Argentina were just out of the game yesterday. I am very happy that Brazil have added yet another trophy to their illustrious career but at the same time, I would like to acknowledge Argentina's superb play which thoroughly entertained spectators which Brazil failed miserably.
