Brazil demolish Argentina to win eighth Copa America
2007-07-16 10:25:00 MARACAIBO, Venezuela, July 16, 2007 (AFP) - Brazil stunned bitter rivals and overwhelming favourites Argentina 3-0 to win their eighth Copa America title on Sunday. It was the second successive title for the Brazilians and was sweet justification for coach Dunga, who was without superstars Ronaldinho and Kaka, and who had been the target of vitriolic criticism for overseeing a workmanlike rather than traditionally wondrous side. Argentina, chasing a record 15th title, were outplayed in every department as the sparkling form they showed in the run-up to the final deserted them and deprived coach Alfio Basile of a second Copa having overseen the team's last win in 1993. Julio Baptista scored his third goal in three games at the tournament when he gave Brazil the lead after just four minutes. The striker, unwanted by Arsenal, picked up a long ball from Elano, who had replaced suspended skipper Gilberto Silva, and controlled it neatly. He turned to the right of Argentina skipper Robert...

Robinho and company defeat Uruguay in a penalty shoot-out
2007-07-11 11:16:00 Brazil booked their place in the Copa America final after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Uruguay .The two sides played out a 2-2 draw, and with extra time not being used, they went straight to penalties. Diego Lugano missed the crucial kick for Uruguay - who had earlier spurned the chance to win the shoot-out when Pablo Garcia missed. Brazil had gone ahead in the game after just 12 minutes when Maicon pounced on a rebound to fire past Fabian Carini. The match was then interrupted by a power shortage, but after 13 minutes the players were back on and Brazil almost doubled their lead through Julio Baptista - but his free-kick flew just wide.Uruguay then turned up the pressure and grabbed a deserved equaliser on 36 minutes when Diego Forlan found the back of the net after an error from Doni in the Brazilian goal. However, Brazil restored their advantage before the break when Baptista fired home after getting on the end of Gilbert Silva's free-kick. The game was then sent to ...

Blond Angel under no illusions about Real job
2007-07-10 06:52:00 MADRID, July 9, 2007 (AFP) - Real Madrid's new coach Bernd Schuster said Monday he was under no illusions as to the task ahead of him, namely winning trophies by playing a strictly 'beautiful game.' The man nicknamed the Blond Angel has been given clear orders by president Ramon Calderon to inject the style that was in short supply under short-lived Italian predecessor Fabio Capello. If Capello was effective when it came to ending a four-year trophy drought and weeding out top names past their peak, such as Ronaldo, many saw his brief tenure as a willingness to win ugly. That's not enough for Real - whose recent unsuccessful strategies involved going Brazilian from the top down three years ago under Wanderley Luxemburgo - and Schuster said on day one he knows it. "I know here the club will demand the maximum (in terms of cups) along with football which will win over the fans," said the 47-year-old former Barcelona, Real and Atletico Madrid star who spent the bulk of his playing ...
