BRESIL - PARAGUAY: 0-0 (0 tab à 2):

Argentina by the wayside, Brazil too! The quarterfinals of the Copa America have produced a second big surprise with the elimination of double defending champion, fell against Paraguay in the same lottery of penalties (0-0 aet, 2-0 pens). Paraguay, which had not reached the final four since 1989, will meet the winner of Chile-Venezuela. Incredibly, three of the four shooters Brazil (Elano, André Santos and Fred) have sent their shots on goal in the gallery, and Thiago Silva saw his back by Villar. The guardian of the Guarani was the hero of the evening, in a state of grace: he interposed a vicious hit Ganso (67th) or shots at close range Pato (73rd, 82nd) ​​and Lucio (33) it stopped with ... private parts.

Precisely, Paraguay struggled with his main qualities of sacrifice, self-sacrifice. Brazilian jostled by the speed, he multiplied the errors for the bypass. "We must not get into this game", Warned Robinho. By extension, an argument will still lead to exclusion, both sides, and Leiva Lucas Alcaraz (103rd). And the key word "patience" Hammered by the Brazilians in the tournament is diluted in a rush. The Guarani have never worried Julio CesarExcept in the very last minutes. And in the fateful event. Yet it was not the insipid Seleçao who had snatched a point with solid Guarani week before (2-2). Mano Menezes repeated after each game his team progressed. It was still the case, in the game, from its victory over Ecuador (4-2). 

Sequences ...

After scoring four goals in effective, Brazil was more attractive, not reality. With this Seleçao then, so it's not cheese and dessert. However, for the first time in the tournament, the quartet offered some nice offensive moves, the real "jogo bonito" by ending strikes Neymar over (seventh), bordering the post (27th), saved by Alcaraz (49th ). The young striker at the peak was no longer content to knit. Its decision-ball carried the danger in the opposing defense. Nothing to do with the player looking to play in the same stage of La Plata against Venezuela (0-0). Touched, he was replaced by Fred (80th).
Renaissance also Robinho, author of ski ball and shifts of interest, and returned to his best in a position of nine and a half. Ramires is the other great satisfaction in the "Canarinha" defensively clean environment showed more authority than before and showed his qualities in the perforation. Ganso, however, remained enigmatic, alternating bright and passes vacuum passages, while Maicon, so impressive against Ecuador, was going astray in the waste. Suddenly, the beautiful sequences remained scattered, and the game regularly plunged into trouble. Until the lottery last chills.
