On the Other Hand, Maybe I’m an Idiot

I stand by my take that the Copa America was underwhelming through the second round. But the next round and the semi-finals have been better.

Just now, I watched Argentina’s incredible goal, courtesy of Heinze, at the end of the second half against Mexico. If that that 1-0 lead holds, it will be Argentina versus Brazil in the final.

Which could be entertaining, no?

I guess it’s the normal tension between close matches all along, as against a tournament that at least ends in the best few teams playing one another for all the marbles. Cross your fingers!

Update: What a goal by Messi! 2-0 Argentina with 30 minutes left.

3-0 now, after Riquelme’s penalty stroke. This ‘un’ s over, no?

Final: Argentina 3-0 Mexico

Argentina played very well and dominated most of the time. The goals were sensational and most of the Argentinian players hustled for the ball. I originally thought Brazil would win the Copa but I changed my mind. It is going to be Argentina.

I would have put Ochoa instead of Sanchez.

It is interesting that the only other team that scored against Mexico in the Copa America was Ecuador.

Ha Ha. I wanted Mexico to lose. That first goal was so amazing, i didn’t even see Heinze running for the ball, until i saw the replay. I like Messi’s goal. Which goal do you guys think is better Messi’s or Neri Castillo’s?

I think both goals are sensational. The one for television is castillo. Messi’s is more technical. By the way, the Argentinian player in Sub 20 made a similar goal yeterday like Castillo. His name is Aguero
