Brazil won its second straight Copa America title !

by Rocwood on 16 July, 2007

BRAZIL 3-0 ARGENTINA

For the coach, Dunga, it was personal vindication after he had been criticised throughout the tournament for adopting a pragmatic playing approach which was perceived as alien to Brazil’s traditional reliance on attacking flair.
“We came to rescue the self-esteem of the Brazilian worker, who wakes up in the morning and returns home late at night, whose only satisfaction in life is seeing Brazil win a football match,” Dunga said.
