I think the problems with this guys is a lot of individuals plays and no team game.
Look Argentina, Messi, Lavessi, Tevez and what???
1-1 with Bolivia also!
Both teams Brazil and Argentina have good players but they can't put them together so far!

no this is the point of view of a guy that doesn't follow soccer.
i think you follow it...
so u know that Brazil tonight doesn't want to win.
they started the game, pushing high the Defence of Benezuela and after that nothing happened.
I can accept that a player or 2 or 3 might underperform, but this game is one of those...
if you are Brazilian, i don't want to offend you, but this is the truth. They made money tonight.

Agreed. Bolivia and Venezuela are teams that have players who have played with each other for a long time and they know each other better. Brazil and Argentina has some amazing players but as we have seen they are having problems against defensive teams like this early on. That is why I'm avoiding all Copa America matches in the first round, I'm sure that they will play better later on and when they meet more offensive-minded teams.

lol
you are trying to find excuses of a matter that doesn't even exist.
Brazil cannot struggle against Venezuela. It is unreal. They had just a chance to score at a whole game.
Venezuela is the worst team in SA.

brazil were denied a clear penalty and lines man got it wrong when pato was one on one with goal keeper. brazil's midfield is weak. lucas and ramirez , these guys are not skillful or technical. brazil won't make it through. well, I layed brazil on BetFair and won 105 euros . LOL .too bad i didn't lay argentina.

Sounds like someone lost their bet on Brazil. If you watched Brazil in their preps for the Copa competition, they have not looked like an offensive juggernaut. Solid defensively, but this version of Brazil is not going to score a lot of goals until they mesh better - that may not happen before this competition is over.

Brazil were awful also in the friendly matches before Copa America. Played Ronaldo for his retirement from the national team. That's not preparation. Brazil will struggle from now on, because there is a gap between the actual squad and the forthcoming future stars (if they will confirm) like Neymar and so on ...

Brazil was my last selection in my accumulator left that needed to win but you're having a laugh if you think the game was fixed. This happens all the time in football man, accept it. Are you saying that every time a heavy fav draws or loses to a major dog, it's fixed? Haha, do you watch a lot of football. honestly? I've seen it happen countless amount of times.
I wanted Brazil to win and I'm annoyed they did not but fixed? Come on.

its always a fixed game when you lose
this is not basketball when talented teams can dominate the entire game

Agree completely, the OP is reacting badly to a loss. I was really annoyed too but thats football. If the favorite won all the time it would be pretty damn boring. Take Cricket for example, I hate the sport with a passion but when Ireland beat England in a Cricket game (We were 500/1 at one stage to win) people were screaming that the game was fixed. A no hoper just happened to win, thats it.
I'm not saying fixing does not happen, we've seen in the past that it does but the Brazil game fixed? No way.

so obvious rigged game... well done Brazil.
The game before in Brasil was 0 - 0 . Brasil not scored in 3 of the last 4 games with Venezuela.
This wasn't that big a surprise. Brasils odds were crazy.

Brazil have not been playing well in attack, that's all, the games before copa america were a sign that their team is not synchronized and I think Latinrus and some other guys were speaking of how they reached the opponents penalty area and wanted to enter the goal with the ball (talking about the game vs Romania), that is not serious of players that cost millions .. I was thinking under 3 for this game and seems like I should have played it ...
