The Copa America final is on today at 5 p.m. EST: Argentina vs Brasil. A worthy World Cup final anytime.

Check your local listings; it should turn out to be a great game.

if you follow football/soccer like I do, you will notice Brazil is coming with the B team and Argentina has its A team.just an observation.

Watched it. A good enough game but not as exciting as the semi-finals. Brasil (without many of the first line players, as it can be seen from the lineups above) held the Argentines in a lock throughout the game: no white and blue player ever got the ball without a couple of Brasilians in their face. Lots of penalties, about 40-50, which cut the flow of the game to shreds.

Argentina is back to the drawing board. Brasil is the new team of Defending Wizzards? Strange.

Europe next year, Pedro!

yes most of the Argentinians played in the Spanish primera league but in Brazil Robinho plays for Real Madrid which is my childhood/forever club;so I am happy.

its amazing how many players Brazil can muster and they all do good,its in their blood. Argentina is a notch below.in Football/soccer of course. Wink
