Copa América, pt. 3

The male Sabby came over and helped me to watch two other games.

Colombia vs. Peru

Hats off to the Colombians for playing three thrilling matches. But the zero-zero draw favored the Peruvians. This result sets up a quarterfinal between Colombia and Argentina.

Brazil vs. Venezuela

For about an hour, the Brazilians were respectable. They built a two-goal lead. Then Dunga, their coach, replaced three attackers with three defenders and allowed the Venezuelans to claw back into contention. Brazil won anyway.

Neymar was absent.

His substitute, Robinho – twerpiest of the Ros (though not as twerpy as Neymar) – was downright refreshing to watch.
