As usually Ori, Mexico was failled. The team couldn´t got to the first.
There is a problem here, all the elements of the team want to be the star, so as this not function for a competitive team.

Yeap, That´s right, Copa America (America cup) was celebrated here in Venezuela and Brazil (as usual) won it after defeating Angentina 3-0 in the final match which was played in Maracaibo. The goals were scored by Julio Baptista, Ayala (in its own goal) and Dany Alves. In this way, Brazil won its 8 "copa" but Argentina and Uruguay are the top winners because they have won 14. It´s important to say that Brazil didn´t have its best players (Ronaldinho, Kaka nad adriano didn´t come) and Argentina, on the other hand, had them(Messi, Riquelme, Crespo, Tevez came to play).

Mexico got the third place after defeat Uruguay 3-1. That match was played in Caracas (The capital city)

Yes, football in Venezuela is getting better... I remember they was always the last in South American competitions like Copa America and South America World Cup Qualifications. This Copa America they was the 6th and last World Cup Qualification they was the 8th... who knows this event in Venezuela make its population like a bit more of football (which is the 4th or 5th most popular sport there, am I right?).

Talking about sports, are you watching the Pan-American Games 2007 in Rio?

That's right, our football team has improved a lot, maybe we are on the same level of Bolivia and Peru, but we are far way form the level of other South America teams...

Yeah, you right, Football is not the most popular sport here, I think is the 3th, behind baseball and basketball.... But it's gained more and more fans since the national team started to win some games...

Yes, I saw a little bit of the pan-americans games... Well, I could see the swimming competition and I'm impressed seeing the performance of Brazilian national team... There are very good, I didn´t know that your country has excellent swimmers... Also I saw the ceremony to close the games.... it was very beautiful, specially at the end, when all the fireworks started to explode in Rio's sky....

Anyway, I think they were a very good games, despite they were tarnished by the airport accident.... What a shame!!!!

Copa America!
