How To Revive A Sleeping Giant
25 July 2011, 3:53 am
By Saheli RC, writing from Singapore You know you’re a fan of Argentina when you no longer feel that massive heartbreak upon seeing your team lose out on a penalty shootout and therefore get eliminated from a competition. After last Sunday’s underwhelming performance, which could only be sorted from the spot, the question on everyone’s lips is “Where did it all go wrong?” Imagine the situation: host nation, tournament favourites, boasting the world’s best player among their ranks...On Copa América, unpredictability, and the final no one saw coming.
22 July 2011, 5:34 pm
By Daniel Colasimone, editor of ArgentinaFootballWorld.com writing from Argentina There were no easy games. It is a cliché that is often wheeled out during international tournaments but for the very first time, it did actually apply to the Copa America. In past editions, teams like Venezuela and Bolivia, when facing any of the continent’s big guns, could almost always be relied on squeal, drop to the floor, cover their faces and whimperingly accept a savage beating. Bolivia had conceded a ...Neymar and El Matador: Los Jugadores Más Peligrosos
2 July 2011, 3:53 pm
Our ‘What To Watch For In Copa América” compilation of vignette-esque perspectives from our friends that manage some of the best football sites around continues. This time we focus on two of the most dangerous players in the Copa with Ben Shave, co-editor of In Bed With Maradona while writing for his personal site Cahiers Du Sport along with an array of other sites (PortuGoal, ITV…) and Beyond The Pitch’s Anto. Ben Shave on Neymar Given the level of unknown exoticism that South Ame...The irony of having to defend Lionel Messi
2 July 2011, 6:20 am
By Eric Beard You do know this is the same guy most of you have been in awe of all year, right? It’s hard to find many cases more explicitly capturing the fickle nature of the neutral football fan (and journalist) than the double-standard that is placed upon Lionel Messi when he’s wearing blue and red in Barcelona and when he’s wearing blue and white in Buenos Aires. Messi had an average game against Bolivia in the opening match of Copa América, but let’s put things into perspective ...The Constant Drama Of The Argentines
1 July 2011, 9:59 pm
Throughout the next week, we’ll be sharing what to watch for in this edition of Copa América, with a compilation of short perspectives from our friends from some of the football sites around. We kick things off with James Tyler, editor of Unprofessional Foul, preparing us for telling us how Argentina has managed to be both the headline story of the tournament and a drama filled with subplots. While I’m thrilled by the youthful Selecao that Mano Menezes is bringing to the party (Ganso! Pat...

Chile 1-1 Uruguay: in-game changes dictate the pattern of play
9 July 2011, 4:14 pm
Goals from Alvaro Pereira and Alexis Sanchez meant another Copa draw. Both managers made changes. Claudio Borghi dropped Mati Fernandez and brought in Luis Jiminez behind the front two, but kept the same shape as in the opening day win over Mexico. Oscar Tabarez made two changes from the draw against Peru. Nicolas Loderio dropped out and [...]...Set-pieces dominate the first week of the Copa
7 July 2011, 7:52 pm
For a tournament often hailed for its flair and unpredictability, the Copa America has clearly been lacking excitement. So far, the goals per game count stands at a pathetic eight, from seven matches. That gives a goals per game rate of just 1.14 – roughly half the goals per game rate of last summer’s World Cup, [...]...Argentina 0-0 Colombia: another goalless draw
7 July 2011, 2:31 pm
The third 0-0 from seven Copa America games so far, as Argentina again struggled. Sergio Batista made one change from the opening day 0-0 against Bolivia. Marcos Rojo dropped out, with Pablo Zabaleta coming in on the right. Javier Zanetti moved to the left. Hernan Dario Gomez also made a single change, bringing in Carlos Sanchez for [...]...Chile 2-1 Mexico: Borghi’s change in formation prompts Chile’s comeback
6 July 2011, 3:07 pm
Chile recovered from 1-0 down to record a 2-1 victory in an excellent contest. Claudio Borghi lined up with a 3-4-1-2 formation containing various players who are familiar from last year’s World Cup, and there were no major selection surprises. Like Costa Rica, Mexico are competing with an Olympic squad in this tournament, and assistant manager Luis [...]...Uruguay 1-1 Peru: Guerrero and Lodeiro the key men as both sides waste chances to win it
5 July 2011, 1:47 pm
A more exciting game than many of the previous Copa America contests resulted in another draw. Oscar Tabarez named his expected side, with all three of his star forwards on the pitch, supported by Nicolas Lodeiro from midfield. Sergio Markarian wasn’t able to call upon Juan Manuel Vargas from the start, and so instead used Yoshimar Yotun, [...]...
