Brazil didn't loose any games and went out on penalties after only 90 minutes of play. Sure they could've beaten CR in the first game. I don't think Neymar would've changed anything. Worst mistake was to play Endrick vs Uruguay. He's not ready yet, certainly not as a starter. Too much pressure on such a young kid.
Now you can understand why there are no wars in South America, it’s because we have Copa America. We don’t just play. This was going to be wild and nobody cared if they don’t play good. It’s winning at any price. Wild, savage dogfight, raw and emotional. If you want to see an show go to see Euro. Full of reglamentation, everything shiny and fair play.

This panel is totally unaware of South American football, soccer if you will. The rivalry between these three nations, Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay goes back over 120 years.

No disrespect. Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay always play these derbys the way the match was yesterday. Might not be pretty but thats how its always been. The comment of worst 2 hours of your life : a bit ridiculous. I am a soccer fanatic and either you started watching soccer not that long ago or you forgot the 90's.
I agree with you 100%. Uruguay is no stranger to winning against all odds. The 1st time I remember a Uruguay win in Brazil, was in 1983 in Bahia. 1987 in Argentina. Hard fought. No "jogo bonito". We win our way when it comes that crucial moment, and we won't apologize for it. Alexi, your teams don't exist.
You have no blood in your veins, you have no freaking idea how "un clásico" is played, that's why you don't and won't win anything, until you understand this is fútbol, and it is not won with statistics or technology, you have to have talent, and the tools to know when to play and when to fight a game.
It seems like if they had seen Uruguay play for the first time hahaha Uruguay plays like this since day 1 in 1885. That is their game, they always put out this kind of crappy game, but that's their gig, it's like Italy, nobody knows how they win, but they win. Ultimately you just gotta get your sheet clean and score.
Well… I mean, Italy hasn’t qualified for the last 2 world cups 🤣, but yes this is the way Uruguay has always played, and even if it’s not the style of Bielsa that doesn’t mean that he isn’t smart enough to recognise that this is their DNA and he can use it whenever needed
Your lack of understanding of the game and it's history is appalling. If you don't understand why Italy and Uruguay are so successful if the history of football is because you just don't know much about football and geography at all. Brazil has 50 times the population of Uruguay and we beat them fair and square multiple times in WC finals as we beat Argentina (also in WC final) that has 11 times the population of Uruguay. Brazil played "like that too" and so did Colombia and so did Argentina... We are a football nation of 4 million and none of the two word cups, the Olympic gold when organized by fifa or the 15 copa americas we won were the effect of handouts or marketing gimmicks. If you truly want to understand you need to learn a bit more because quite frankly you make no sense at all

Its the game within the game. Which is a whole other skill in itself. Americans have always had problems with this aspect of the game and it just drives them nuts. I found it to be very entertaining.
This shows me the lack of understanding of the game in the USA. This game was outstanding, a real grind in a derby match. Would some goals made it more interesting? Sure. But it was a nailbiter until the end with lots of oportunities in every side, and both teams left everything in the field, fought for every inch, every ball. URUGUAY NOMA!!!
This was the worst match he's ever seen? Mustn't have watched that England one earlier, at least this had some fight and energy. The tempo in the England match was god awful
Come on .. this is how you show your total ignorance about South American soccer. Just imagine how physical the Argentina vs Uruguay finals will be. Countries with tradition, soccer culture and trophies understand and use all the tools on their disposal to win. The US is too naive. Learn from this tournament.
This is the problem with Americans. Instead of being humble and trying to understand the mentality of the teams that has won so much on the international scene they superimpose their own americanized way of "soccer" thinking that it is best. This interview is nothing else than a clear expression of national exceptionalism where they think they are the gods of football whilst having won nothing of value. The US is like that young dude who starts at your work and after 2 weeks starts correcting you and telling you on how you should do your job. Give the dude 2 more months and he will understand how little he knew. The prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Alexis lalas is nothing more than an entitled American. Who carries a permanent dislike of England, and its football. All because he failed a trial with Arsenal FC!
I mean, CONCACAF teams in copa america is like bringing your little brother along with your friends because your mom forced you to. Not surprised we were out in the first round its par for the course.

Are you guys f'ing serious! Brazilians started the rough play and Uruguay is the wrong team to do it to. BTW what has the US done? Did you even see how the US played against Uruguay? Did they play or just kick everyone. Seriously for you to criticize the Brazilians or Uruguayans? 😆😅😅😅 Wake up!
@@rayes7331 I know. I remember in the past watching a Brazilian club game thinking they play like Brazilian national team used to and it was the ugliest game of football I've ever seen lol.
Brazil set a trap and Uruguay bought it. The Brazilian team knew this Uruguayan team could play stylish football during the match and they decided to mudden the water looking forward for Uruguayan to bite the fish hook. And it worked, Uruguay turned to that streetfigher-ish type of play they have since football was invented and the match ended up being a wrestling one, with Brazil waiting to score in a counter-attack. Side note, this type of games between Arg-Bz, Arg-Uru and Bz-Uru are called "classics" and classics in South America are usually this hard in the field, where fair play vanishes. Let's see how it will go in Col-Uru since 🇺🇾 has key losses and it seems many players are really tired, plus Darwin Nuñez tends to lose many opportunities and as the tournament progresses that's a luxury any team cannot afford. Cheers!
Americans complaining about violence lol how comedic. But talking seriously, this is southamerica señores, grow some balls and stop whining, look what Canada just did, they understood the intensity that's needed to play to our level!
They drone strike weddings in the middle east but complain when men play football. What most people don't know about football is that this is how football was played before the sport became a market for the global nouveau riche to freeze their assets in buying football clubs and inflating the player transfer market as an intricate tax evasion scheme. Today football is more about merchandization than club loyaly, pride and honor. Yanks should stick to playing their own handegg game where obese men run 30 yards and where 50% of the effective game time consists of commercials. Have another burger while you're at it too.
Clearly they have never watched a South American game. Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Paraguay all play the same way when it comes to Copa. What we watched was a typical South American game. Never fun. Never. Extremely physical. I'm glad Ney didn't play the game, else Uruguay would have handed his other leg in his hands. Simple.
After he said that he went out one night with asprilla in Milan and met capelo at a club, I no longer cared what he wanted to say, I want to know more about that story😂
I think is funny the way they critized Bielsa, I think you need to fully understand the language to hear how eloquent he is, in describing Football, not throgh some roughh translation or from someone who understands the language very little

Sorry guys, but you guys need to learn what real soccer it is, and what it takes to win. A win is a win !! You guys need more history knowledge under your belts and understanding. First, fundamentals .It is FOOTBALL does that rings any bells and yeah sometimes it gets dirty, it is FOOTBALL baby !!! for the rookies, they saw a boring game but for the ones that really know this, we saw pure strategy !!!!
If you know Bielsa you know he is the ultimate Romantic I don’t understand the criticism. He’s been that way all his career little buddy and Lalas need to shut up about that.
Wash your mouth with soap before you speak about the team with 4 stars in their jersey. Uruguay is in semis, USA is not, end of story, pretty or ugly you go and you win, something Lalas never really did much when he played, he only became famous because of his hair and beard...
I think the problem is rather that they did NOT talk about Uruguay, , which I find very disrespectful. If you are going to get mad, I think you should get mad about THAT. But first and foremost, calm down. Read the other comments: nobody here is screaming or saying things such as "wash your mouth," (which besides being unnecessary aggressive, does not make much sense in English -I'm Uruguayan, so I understand what you mean). Being aggressive and disrespectful is rarely a good way of asking other people to be respectful.
Three North Americans attempting to combobulate a match between two South American rivals with a history, which they clearly don't understand. Then I realized I was watching a circus and the commentators were clowns.
Pop it’s a South American clásico it’s gonna be this type of game. Go worry about team USA and who’s gonna coach them next. Lmk when u guys finally do something to “prove the world”
Lalas you only dream you could play at this level. Start watching South American soccer and you will start to understand how difficult it is to win against any national team.
It’s so funny, the USA game and especially this game against Brazil showed that Uruguay will still fight when needed. Lalas is such a loser lol. You’ll see the Uruguay you guys want to see when we play Colombia because Colombia doesn’t play that way. This was a classic Uruguay vs Brazil game…
Can’t believe I wasted even a second of my life listening to these people who seem to know so little. They’re amateurs. Anyone who thought that a Brazil Uruguay match was ever going to be free flowing attractive jogo bonito knows nothing about these teams. The truth is that it’s always a battle with Uruguay never having the talent of Brazil but countering that with grit. It’s that simple and that’s exactly what we saw.
The 7-1 loss against Germany at home in the 2014 world cup is the root cause of the current issues with the Brazil National team. That was not an ordinary defeat. It was like a 7.5 magnitude earthquake which destroyed all the glorious memories that Brazil had achieved on the world stage up until that faithful semi final game. And things haven't been the same for Brazil ever since even with winning the 2019 Copa America.
Why do teams still try to play aggressive versus Uruguay. The US and Brasil learned the hard way. Punks jump up to get beat down! You can’t beat them playing this way!
Brasil jogou bem, enfrentou um forte esquema de marcação, bem pegado, com jogadores bem focados, nenhuma seleção do mundo faz esse esquema de marcação como o Uruguai! Só no final que o Brasil poderia ter feito um esquema de colocar a bola na área do Uruguai com escanteios e bolas cruzadas!
Its just the low point of the cycle, thats all. This period is similar to the period between Brazil's 1970-1994 World Cup wins where they didn't do much either
Take a look at that circle again right before penalties, Bielsa is in the middle giving directions and on the other side Dorival junior is on the outside of the circle raising a finger in objection, then left scratching his head. 7:02 Humility is where this game starts and stops. Militao as he walks up throwing the ball against his shoulder with a look of superiority. Andreas pereira with his snarky Uruguay would dream to have a team like this. Guys never lose respect for your opponent, and always listen to your coach. And to you who say that this was a scrappy match? How would you face Brazil, when all you have known growing up is the Brazil of old, who earned the reputation for the country of a formidable force.
lifelong soccer fan. First time attempting to watch a full Copa America. After this insult to the game of soccer (Brasil - Uruguay), I won't watch another. Reminds me of the inflamed street ball of my youth in Southern Africa - three or four real players trying to play, and the ret trying to hurt people. I expected much much more from Uruguay, but it was absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of the garbage that was the NHL of the 90s.
Bielsa could never coach a team with players with too big of an ego. That's why he did well with Chile, Leeds and now Uruguay. If he would coach England or France nobody would listen to him. Just like the argentines did when he coached them.
to the Panel: This game Brasil-Uruguay is the photocopy of those two teams during the Dunga/ Tabares. both teams were more interested in defending and controlling the middle by any means necessary/ brute force. NO ideas in either team, no interest in the people who went to watch them play. Both teams lack tactical and team work arguments to score against their rival. Welcome to a regular world cup qualifiers conmebol style
Its a shame that one of your pundits speaks Spanish and does not clarify what Bielsa actually said and criticized which is not criticizing others or placing himself above others or commenting on the decrease in quality of "Soccer". In that particular conference he was simply pointing out how the the rich leagues of Europe snatch the young talent so early that our football fans back home in south america are left with mediocre leagues and having to settle with a game of lesser quality that that of -say- the champions league. The fact that the US continues recurrently hosting some of the most important Football tournaments while being a nation devoid of any proper silverware or any accolade at all in football history goes to show how finances and money is the governing factor and not quality or principle. The same as a World Cup in Qatar. The hard truth is that in the Americas there are only three National Teams that lifted the World Cup and they are the same three nations that dominated the history of the Copa America as well URU (15) ARG (15) BRA (9). Bielsa criticizes and will likely continue to criticize money and power over principles and defends the value of the game for its socio-political power for our people and the potential that it has and always had to shape our collective identities. The most talented players in the history of the game became that great to fight and escape poverty for them and their families; Maradona, Cristiano, Neymar, Ronaldo, Riquelme, Messi, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Suarez, Tevez, Pele... And the list goes on.... Is a reality that the average American that takes abundance and overall wealth for granted will hardly understand and is not something that you can buy with money. Yesterday's game was an epic battle. If you found yesterday's game boring, stick to the tailgate parties and go back to baseball which apparently is a lot of fun after the 5th beer. Get your head out of the sand...
This game was normal for teams of this caliber. Are you guys amateurs or what? Just watching MLS and USMNT has rotted your brains for what real football is
We need patience. Dorival took over 8 matches ago and Brazil is in transition from a previous generation of players to this new one. The team needs time to build chemistry and gel. I know we fans want to see Brazil dominating but there’s a process to get there. The one positive is that even in the state we’re in, teams that are “playing their best” could not beat Brazil.
6:05 They all learned from Neymar! :) They have learned those movements from him, and also how to dive and fake injuries. Decadence is notorious in the Brazilian team.
Bielsa’s Leeds was not Playing the same way as Bielsa’s Uruguay!. Uruguay play their own way, and Bielsa has put his stamp on the Team, But in the end Uruguay ultimately is Uruguay.
Did they say anything at all about the team that went through and which was probably the better (or slightly less awful) team on the day? Is this a clip of the part where they talk about Brazil and they said a few words about Uruguay at another time? Here they say the word "Uruguay" once in passing and talk for a minute about Bielsa.
Ehh that was just a normal South American game. Also USA needs to stop hiring MLS coaches. Got the talent, got the Pool, they just need the right mentality and tactics. And let’s be honest. No American coach will boost that. They need a South American coach. Mainly an Argentinian.
It’s a shame that James Rodriguez needs a certain play style to be significant, like Juan Roman Riquelme. Both of them are such high quality players, though.
Alexi was half right: Brazil, not England is the Dallas Cowboys of international soccer (they were good years ago, but if you’re under 25 you’ve never seen them win jack).
As an outsider to SA football, I find that Uruguay plays a disgusting style of football. I hope Colombia can put them away but it will depend on the ref who has to clamp down on that garbage play.
Brazil definitely has the talent but reliance on one star guy has hurt them but also I think coaching and leadership is a problem as well we’ll see what they do at the Olympics
I’ve notice Lalas has certain animosity towards Colombia. He is always belittling the team. Maybe because deep down he knows he didn’t really defeated Colombia. That match really stinks. Maybe some day we’ll know the truth. I don’t buy the fact that a team of amateurs defeated the most powerful Colombian team ever. I mean c’mon. Nobody in Colombia buys that. What really happened?!?!?!?!
That´s why US or another Concacaf´s team won´t ever win the WC. You don´t understand the game at all. You don´t play a derby, you win it... Uruguay Nomá!
Falcao is superior to Asprilla and James far beyond Valderrama. That 90’s generation put Colombia on the map, but lacked discipline and professionalism.
'James' is NOT a Spanish name. So I never understood why this name, which is NOT Spanish, has to be pronounced in Spanish... even by English speakers... Is society so woke that it's so afraid to offend by pronouncing a name correctly as it should be?
I know you're right, it's an English name. But imagine being called in a certain way all your life, it builds up your identity. Even if it's a "wrong" pronunciation, it's how he chose to be called.
Everywhere in the world people's names are pronounced in the local language. In the US, for instance, Spanish names are pronounced in English. That is just the person's name. The guy is Colombian, his parents named him "James" as is pronounced in Spanish, (weird choice if you ask me, but that is another matter), and that's the way he was always called for everybody since his birth. That is his name, regardless of how it sounds in the original language. You may want to think twice or ask around before assuming things.
@@pirultaeee I lived in the US for a long time and many people ask how a name should be pronounced; they then adjust to the pronounciation while others pronounce it their way. Your opinion is not everyone's opinion. The point is: If you borrow a foreign name you should not be expecting other people to pronounce it your way; it simply is incorrect. And I have been thinking this ever since this player became popular... 'Ha-mess' sounds ridiculous, just like a Spanish name pronounced wrongly would be.
Brazil has a serious coach problem. Our coaches are ar least, 15-20 years behind the knowledge and expertise that coaches from Europe and Argentina. The reading of the game abd strategy building of our coaches are primitive, to put in a kind way. Im not ev gonna comment on player behavior which is also a plague and a chapter apart
How badly did Brazil miss Neymar in the 2024 Copa América?
No one misses him. He’s widely despised in Brazil as well
love the guests - time for max bretos to join the show!
Neymar is overrated.
No one misses him.
Brazil didn't loose any games and went out on penalties after only 90 minutes of play. Sure they could've beaten CR in the first game. I don't think Neymar would've changed anything.

OMG Lalas put Brazil men's team and American women's team in same sentence! This guy lol
Why not? In terms of accomplishments, it's a fair comparison
He just refuses to give Bielsa any credit. his ego wont allow it
@@antiwokehuman lol, women dont reach the ankles of brazilian team
@@antiwokehumanwomen football is like a fourth or fifth division of men football. Sorry but is nnother sport
@@antiwokehuman hahah thats a really dumb american statement
This shows me the lack of understanding of the game in the USA. This game was outstanding, a real grind in a derby match. Would some goals made it more interesting? Sure. But it was a nailbiter until the end with lots of oportunities in every side, and both teams left everything in the field, fought for every inch, every ball.
URUGUAY NOMA!!!
This was the worst match he's ever seen? Mustn't have watched that England one earlier, at least this had some fight and energy. The tempo in the England match was god awful
@@MrEnyaws07 You’re 100% right. That “civilized” game between England and Switzerland was a heartless aberration.
Come on .. this is how you show your total ignorance about South American soccer. Just imagine how physical the Argentina vs Uruguay finals will be. Countries with tradition, soccer culture and trophies understand and use all the tools on their disposal to win. The US is too naive. Learn from this tournament.
This is the problem with Americans. Instead of being humble and trying to understand the mentality of the teams that has won so much on the international scene they superimpose their own americanized way of "soccer" thinking that it is best. This interview is nothing else than a clear expression of national exceptionalism where they think they are the gods of football whilst having won nothing of value.
The US is like that young dude who starts at your work and after 2 weeks starts correcting you and telling you on how you should do your job. Give the dude 2 more months and he will understand how little he knew. The prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Alexis grew up rich !!! He will never understand the struggles in Latin America and what bielsa was saying because he never lived it
And he knows nothing about it futbol he sounds like a soccer mom
Bielsa is a populist ridiculous😂
Alexis lalas is nothing more than an entitled American. Who carries a permanent dislike of England, and its football. All because he failed a trial with Arsenal FC!
@@gabz2017- *soccer.
Colombia whooping CONCACAF teams over the last 30 days is brainwashing both viewer and expert.
*Not a great achievement*😉
I mean, CONCACAF teams in copa america is like bringing your little brother along with your friends because your mom forced you to. Not surprised we were out in the first round its par for the course.
have you not watched what Colombia did to brazil, Argentina, Spain etc these last few months and year....brainwash?
i mean, we dominated spain w their starting line up.. the team that's most likely to go to Euro cup finals ffs
27 unbeated and somehow your talking about concacaf. 🤦♂️🤣
@@tonyrc49 Rodriguez has played six games in the last month and is almost 33. Colombia has a performance history in major tournament competitions. International friendlies don't predict anything.
Are you guys f'ing serious!
Brazilians started the rough play and Uruguay is the wrong team to do it to.
BTW what has the US done? Did you even see how the US played against Uruguay? Did they play or just kick everyone. Seriously for you to criticize the Brazilians or Uruguayans? 😆😅😅😅 Wake up!
Seems like theyre not used to seeing SA football, these types of matches are normal, these teams play each other all the time, this is nothing new 😂
@@rayes7331 I know. I remember in the past watching a Brazilian club game thinking they play like Brazilian national team used to and it was the ugliest game of football I've ever seen lol.
Brazil set a trap and Uruguay bought it. The Brazilian team knew this Uruguayan team could play stylish football during the match and they decided to mudden the water looking forward for Uruguayan to bite the fish hook. And it worked, Uruguay turned to that streetfigher-ish type of play they have since football was invented and the match ended up being a wrestling one, with Brazil waiting to score in a counter-attack. Side note, this type of games between Arg-Bz, Arg-Uru and Bz-Uru are called "classics" and classics in South America are usually this hard in the field, where fair play vanishes. Let's see how it will go in Col-Uru since 🇺🇾 has key losses and it seems many players are really tired, plus Darwin Nuñez tends to lose many opportunities and as the tournament progresses that's a luxury any team cannot afford. Cheers!
Americans complaining about violence lol how comedic. But talking seriously, this is southamerica señores, grow some balls and stop whining, look what Canada just did, they understood the intensity that's needed to play to our level!
They drone strike weddings in the middle east but complain when men play football. What most people don't know about football is that this is how football was played before the sport became a market for the global nouveau riche to freeze their assets in buying football clubs and inflating the player transfer market as an intricate tax evasion scheme. Today football is more about merchandization than club loyaly, pride and honor.
Yanks should stick to playing their own handegg game where obese men run 30 yards and where 50% of the effective game time consists of commercials. Have another burger while you're at it too.
Clearly they have never watched a South American game. Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Paraguay all play the same way when it comes to Copa. What we watched was a typical South American game. Never fun. Never. Extremely physical. I'm glad Ney didn't play the game, else Uruguay would have handed his other leg in his hands. Simple.
Alexi I don’t even know if you know Spanish but Bielsa has not criticized anyone else’s futbol!!!
After he said that he went out one night with asprilla in Milan and met capelo at a club, I no longer cared what he wanted to say, I want to know more about that story😂
Youre right it wasnt a "soccer" game it was Futbol match.
I think is funny the way they critized Bielsa, I think you need to fully understand the language to hear how eloquent he is, in describing Football, not throgh some roughh translation or from someone who understands the language very little
Uruguay 3million people:
2 world cup
2 world champions olympic games (FIFA) 1924 1928
15 Copa America
6 Club World Final champions (Peñarol 3 - Nacional 3)
This is true, don’t get me wrong, but it was all quite a while ago…
World cups were invites and only a couple of teams
@@divineobject I love it when they say a while ago, like Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile have won so much..... (sarcasm)

This game desperately needed a properly sized pitch!
lol the problem is not Brazil the problem is the 4 time world champion and the 15 time champions copa America uruguay !!!! They built different and let’s remember they have a 3 million population !!!
Sorry guys, but you guys need to learn what real soccer it is, and what it takes to win. A win is a win !! You guys need more history knowledge under your belts and understanding. First, fundamentals .It is FOOTBALL does that rings any bells and yeah sometimes it gets dirty, it is FOOTBALL baby !!! for the rookies, they saw a boring game but for the ones that really know this, we saw pure strategy !!!!
Carly, the Brazil men has won 5 world cups… how can you compare it to Brazil’s women who won NONE???
If you know Bielsa you know he is the ultimate Romantic I don’t understand the criticism. He’s been that way all his career little buddy and Lalas need to shut up about that.
Wash your mouth with soap before you speak about the team with 4 stars in their jersey. Uruguay is in semis, USA is not, end of story, pretty or ugly you go and you win, something Lalas never really did much when he played, he only became famous because of his hair and beard...
I think the problem is rather that they did NOT talk about Uruguay, , which I find very disrespectful. If you are going to get mad, I think you should get mad about THAT. But first and foremost, calm down. Read the other comments: nobody here is screaming or saying things such as "wash your mouth," (which besides being unnecessary aggressive, does not make much sense in English -I'm Uruguayan, so I understand what you mean). Being aggressive and disrespectful is rarely a good way of asking other people to be respectful.
Alexi Lalas is a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect talking like he knows something about football but just embarrases himself in the process.
they all sound like soccer moms
Alexi going out with Asprilla made me a fan. 🇺🇸🇨🇴🙌🏻
this is the reason why the US will amount to nothing in football, because this is the kind of pundits that the US has, plain and simple
the fact that you didnt like the game between Uruguay and Basil, is more than a proof that you dont understand this game
I love El Pibe and always placed him above James but if Colombia wind this Copa maybe James could become the greatest Colombian player ever.😮
Brazil has no bite. They have good forwards but none of them scare me
No comments on how this Copa America was manipulated to make sure Argentina would be in the final game ?????????? So ridiculous!!!!!
Three North Americans attempting to combobulate a match between two South American rivals with a history, which they clearly don't understand. Then I realized I was watching a circus and the commentators were clowns.
Ypu guys are so biased as broadcasters. It's pretty bad.
Pop it’s a South American clásico it’s gonna be this type of game. Go worry about team USA and who’s gonna coach them next. Lmk when u guys finally do something to “prove the world”
Lalas you only dream you could play at this level. Start watching South American soccer and you will start to understand how difficult it is to win against any national team.
It’s so funny, the USA game and especially this game against Brazil showed that Uruguay will still fight when needed. Lalas is such a loser lol. You’ll see the Uruguay you guys want to see when we play Colombia because Colombia doesn’t play that way.
This was a classic Uruguay vs Brazil game…
Can’t believe I wasted even a second of my life listening to these people who seem to know so little. They’re amateurs. Anyone who thought that a Brazil Uruguay match was ever going to be free flowing attractive jogo bonito knows nothing about these teams. The truth is that it’s always a battle with Uruguay never having the talent of Brazil but countering that with grit. It’s that simple and that’s exactly what we saw.
Gringos: you know almost nothing about fútbol that not soccer.
Luis Diaz has potential to be Colombia greatest player, he’s already on a par imo with Asprilla and Valderrama and he’s only 27
The 7-1 loss against Germany at home in the 2014 world cup is the root cause of the current issues with the Brazil National team. That was not an ordinary defeat. It was like a 7.5 magnitude earthquake which destroyed all the glorious memories that Brazil had achieved on the world stage up until that faithful semi final game. And things haven't been the same for Brazil ever since even with winning the 2019 Copa America.
Brazilian coaches cannot develop by playing in Brazil, it is obvious. Currently Brazil badly needs a great European coach, smn like Pep or Ancelloti.
Why do teams still try to play aggressive versus Uruguay. The US and Brasil learned the hard way. Punks jump up to get beat down! You can’t beat them playing this way!
this video proves to everyone the usa will never be good at this sport
0:31 Alexi’s USA loses to Panama and then says this… probably the worst commentator in the game.
Sorry you guys are far away to understand this sport,this munches are allway like this
Brasil jogou bem, enfrentou um forte esquema de marcação, bem pegado, com jogadores bem focados, nenhuma seleção do mundo faz esse esquema de marcação como o Uruguai! Só no final que o Brasil poderia ter feito um esquema de colocar a bola na área do Uruguai com escanteios e bolas cruzadas!
Yes. You underplayed and underestimated Colombia. That’s the American mentality right there. We don’t mind being the underdog. Keep that mentality.
Its just the low point of the cycle, thats all. This period is similar to the period between Brazil's 1970-1994 World Cup wins where they didn't do much either
Seemed like the ref didn’t look at an accumulation of fouls as a criteria for a card which was a mistake
Brazil reached the last two copa Americas
Take a look at that circle again right before penalties, Bielsa is in the middle giving directions and on the other side Dorival junior is on the outside of the circle raising a finger in objection, then left scratching his head. 7:02
Humility is where this game starts and stops. Militao as he walks up throwing the ball against his shoulder with a look of superiority. Andreas pereira with his snarky Uruguay would dream to have a team like this. Guys never lose respect for your opponent, and always listen to your coach.
And to you who say that this was a scrappy match? How would you face Brazil, when all you have known growing up is the Brazil of old, who earned the reputation for the country of a formidable force.
i didn't think brazil was that bad
lifelong soccer fan. First time attempting to watch a full Copa America. After this insult to the game of soccer (Brasil - Uruguay), I won't watch another. Reminds me of the inflamed street ball of my youth in Southern Africa - three or four real players trying to play, and the ret trying to hurt people. I expected much much more from Uruguay, but it was absolutely disgusting. Reminds me of the garbage that was the NHL of the 90s.
What has Alexis Lala’s ever won of significance?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
Nothing! He is a sore loser
Why does everyone love Bielsa? Ask yourself this...what has he ever won? Go ahead...take your time. As an argentine, I know the BS that is Bielsa.
Bielsa could never coach a team with players with too big of an ego. That's why he did well with Chile, Leeds and now Uruguay. If he would coach England or France nobody would listen to him. Just like the argentines did when he coached them.
Too much contact is taking away from the beauty of the game. NBA had the same problem 2 decades ago.
to the Panel: This game Brasil-Uruguay is the photocopy of those two teams during the Dunga/ Tabares. both teams were more interested in defending and controlling the middle by any means necessary/ brute force. NO ideas in either team, no interest in the people who went to watch them play. Both teams lack tactical and team work arguments to score against their rival. Welcome to a regular world cup qualifiers conmebol style
Its a shame that one of your pundits speaks Spanish and does not clarify what Bielsa actually said and criticized which is not criticizing others or placing himself above others or commenting on the decrease in quality of "Soccer". In that particular conference he was simply pointing out how the the rich leagues of Europe snatch the young talent so early that our football fans back home in south america are left with mediocre leagues and having to settle with a game of lesser quality that that of -say- the champions league. The fact that the US continues recurrently hosting some of the most important Football tournaments while being a nation devoid of any proper silverware or any accolade at all in football history goes to show how finances and money is the governing factor and not quality or principle. The same as a World Cup in Qatar. The hard truth is that in the Americas there are only three National Teams that lifted the World Cup and they are the same three nations that dominated the history of the Copa America as well URU (15) ARG (15) BRA (9). Bielsa criticizes and will likely continue to criticize money and power over principles and defends the value of the game for its socio-political power for our people and the potential that it has and always had to shape our collective identities. The most talented players in the history of the game became that great to fight and escape poverty for them and their families; Maradona, Cristiano, Neymar, Ronaldo, Riquelme, Messi, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Suarez, Tevez, Pele... And the list goes on.... Is a reality that the average American that takes abundance and overall wealth for granted will hardly understand and is not something that you can buy with money. Yesterday's game was an epic battle. If you found yesterday's game boring, stick to the tailgate parties and go back to baseball which apparently is a lot of fun after the 5th beer. Get your head out of the sand...
Brazilian is no good without Vini period.
This game was normal for teams of this caliber. Are you guys amateurs or what? Just watching MLS and USMNT has rotted your brains for what real football is
We need patience. Dorival took over 8 matches ago and Brazil is in transition from a previous generation of players to this new one. The team needs time to build chemistry and gel. I know we fans want to see Brazil dominating but there’s a process to get there. The one positive is that even in the state we’re in, teams that are “playing their best” could not beat Brazil.
These commentators from the northern hemisphere talking about soccer have no concept of futbol in the Southern Hemisphere. 🙄🙄
6:05 They all learned from Neymar! :) They have learned those movements from him, and also how to dive and fake injuries. Decadence is notorious in the Brazilian team.
Bielsa’s Leeds was not Playing the same way as Bielsa’s Uruguay!. Uruguay play their own way, and Bielsa has put his stamp on the Team, But in the end Uruguay ultimately is Uruguay.
Did they say anything at all about the team that went through and which was probably the better (or slightly less awful) team on the day? Is this a clip of the part where they talk about Brazil and they said a few words about Uruguay at another time? Here they say the word "Uruguay" once in passing and talk for a minute about Bielsa.
Ehh that was just a normal South American game. Also USA needs to stop hiring MLS coaches. Got the talent, got the Pool, they just need the right mentality and tactics. And let’s be honest. No American coach will boost that. They need a South American coach. Mainly an Argentinian.
It’s a shame that James Rodriguez needs a certain play style to be significant, like Juan Roman Riquelme. Both of them are such high quality players, though.
Alexi was half right: Brazil, not England is the Dallas Cowboys of international soccer (they were good years ago, but if you’re under 25 you’ve never seen them win jack).
England stinks
Brazil isn't what Brazil used to be. Nothing but a bunch of floppers now.
???? Jealous comentators. This is what iit tales to win against Brasil sometimes.
Teach it to La la land ….
Yeah flopping around on the ground for 30 minutes of the game is a GREAT product 😂
@@kaddo34you didn’t see brazilians doing that?
Alexi Lalas for USA soccer coach.
As an outsider to SA football, I find that Uruguay plays a disgusting style of football. I hope Colombia can put them away but it will depend on the ref who has to clamp down on that garbage play.
u are not outsider to SA football... as an american u are an outsider of this sport by definition
Don’t watch our games then. Problem solved!
go watch ballet
Brazil definitely has the talent but reliance on one star guy has hurt them but also I think coaching and leadership is a problem as well we’ll see what they do at the Olympics
I’ve notice Lalas has certain animosity towards Colombia. He is always belittling the team. Maybe because deep down he knows he didn’t really defeated Colombia. That match really stinks. Maybe some day we’ll know the truth. I don’t buy the fact that a team of amateurs defeated the most powerful Colombian team ever. I mean c’mon. Nobody in Colombia buys that. What really happened?!?!?!?!
That´s why US or another Concacaf´s team won´t ever win the WC. You don´t understand the game at all. You don´t play a derby, you win it... Uruguay Nomá!
Falcao is superior to Asprilla and James far beyond Valderrama. That 90’s generation put Colombia on the map, but lacked discipline and professionalism.
'James' is NOT a Spanish name. So I never understood why this name, which is NOT Spanish, has to be pronounced in Spanish... even by English speakers... Is society so woke that it's so afraid to offend by pronouncing a name correctly as it should be?
I know you're right, it's an English name. But imagine being called in a certain way all your life, it builds up your identity. Even if it's a "wrong" pronunciation, it's how he chose to be called.
Everywhere in the world people's names are pronounced in the local language. In the US, for instance, Spanish names are pronounced in English. That is just the person's name. The guy is Colombian, his parents named him "James" as is pronounced in Spanish, (weird choice if you ask me, but that is another matter), and that's the way he was always called for everybody since his birth. That is his name, regardless of how it sounds in the original language. You may want to think twice or ask around before assuming things.
@@dininiy I understand but the point does not mean that even English speakers have to mispronounce a name 'just because.'
@@pirultaeee I lived in the US for a long time and many people ask how a name should be pronounced; they then adjust to the pronounciation while others pronounce it their way. Your opinion is not everyone's opinion. The point is: If you borrow a foreign name you should not be expecting other people to pronounce it your way; it simply is incorrect. And I have been thinking this ever since this player became popular... 'Ha-mess' sounds ridiculous, just like a Spanish name pronounced wrongly would be.
Agreed.@@a.a.7416
Brazil has a serious coach problem. Our coaches are ar least, 15-20 years behind the knowledge and expertise that coaches from Europe and Argentina. The reading of the game abd strategy building of our coaches are primitive, to put in a kind way.
Im not ev gonna comment on player behavior which is also a plague and a chapter apart
Colombia wins this now Argentina are getting the hype but Colombia could easily win the Copa
