Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread

[rdluffy]

Argentina is the best alternative... I imagine that this Brazilian team (the worst in recent years) will disappoint a lot of people in this Copa América.

Brazil's next match in the few hours. I will be tuning my channels if I am awake but I don't think I am expecting a good match from these kids. Other day I lost a lot for these fucker LOL

Today Brazil should start with Savinho (Girona) who played very well in the minutes he was on the field, and in my opinion the young man should have a good game, or at least try his best, and that's a good thing
Paraguay usually don't concede many goals (but they don't score either hahaha) so it's going to be a tough game
Brazil have to play with total focus on attack, to score goals, secure the win and have a good goal difference to then play Colombia, that will be Brazil's biggest challenge

I know Endrick is quite young, but I'd like to see him play more time
I miss Brazil taking more risks and putting youngsters with a lot of desire to play instead of make a "technical" game

With the performance of Uruguay I believe that this team is the only team that can beat Argentina in the Copa America, what a performance from Uruguay, although Bolivia is not the kind of country that we should expect good performances from Uruguay's performance from the beginning of this tournament is very impressive and they have scored 8 goals in two matches which show that they have booked a ticket for another level of the tournament, I said it from the beginning of the tournament that the country is the only country that can defeat Argentina in the tournament.

Brazil and all the remaining teams are not that good in the tournament but you see Uruguay's team, they are very good and with good players in the squad they will go far in this tournament, Argentina has players but when it comes to attacking players Uruguay has more players than them, Nunez is giving his best in this tournament and I think he deserves the best player in the tournament and if they went and give another player that means the FIFA didn’t do well.

I feel like it is not impossible but also not going to be easy neither, we are talking about Argentina here and I know that it is always possible for any team to lose but I just think that they are not going to lose it like that. Don't get me wrong, Uruguay is a great team and the yare doing very fine right now, but that doesn't mean that you could just make that work, it is not really that possible for them to win against a team like Argentina.

This isn't even about Messi anymore, I feel like even if you take out Messi, there is a possibility that Argentina could beat everyone, would be harder obviously because he is still a great player but it is still a possibility and I think it will definitely be a lot better than other teams.

Brazil status as one of the strong candidates to win the Copa America will be in doubt if they fail to win again, even though Brazil didn't lose in the first match, but the draw certainly left the fans disappointed. On paper, victory tends to be in favor of Brazil, although we know that Paraguay is clearly tougher than Costa Rica, so it is clear that Brazil has to play more aggressively to achieve victory. I predict Brazil will play openly and attack, and of course this match will be quite interesting to wait for.

Vinicius and Rodrygo have to work harder to create more opportunities that can be converted into goals. In Madrid, both of them can appear quite sharp because they have good midfield support. Meanwhile, Paraguay seems to be playing with a defensive strategy and relying on counterattacks, Brazil back line will be in trouble if they focus too much on attacking. On the other hand, I think Paraguay chances of beating Brazil are low, but this is not impossible in football.

Don't worry too much, Brazil can most likely win the match in my opinion.
Paraguay were no better than Costa Rica and Colombia, so a much deeper Brazil win was expected. After all, everyone knows that Brazil is the favorite in this tournament and the probability of Brazil winning is very high compared to Paraguay.

But the most interesting thing about the Copa America is, almost all the teams are not easy to beat. Paraguay lost to Colombia earlier with a score of 2-1, but statistics prove that Paraguay also had a lot of effort. They had 3 shots on target out of 11 total shots, the same number as Colombia of course.  Apart from placing Brazil as one of the favorites to win the title, I think Argentina is also a good candidate to be able to defend its title. Argentina leads group A with 2 wins, while they still have 1 more match against Peru which they can also possibly win.

Brazil VS Paraguay
Tomorrow will be an important match between Brazil vs Paraguay. In Group D, Brazil is 2nd in the points table with 1 point after a draw against Costa Rica in the first match. On the other hand, Paraguay lost against Colombia and is at number 4 in the points table. A win against Paraguay is crucial for Brazil to qualify for the next round. In the last five matches between Paraguay and Brazil, Brazil won 4 matches and drew 1 match. Brazil's performance is not very good at present, hope Brazil will try to play well tomorrow. I think Brazil will win tomorrow. Let's see how well Brazil can do tomorrow.

Brazil needs to win this game and the reason being because they already drew their last game which of which everyone taught they would win but they show and displayed a really disappointing display of Brazilian strength in football and that's why even this game against Paraguay am going to give them a benefit of doubt.

The last two times Brazil met Paraguay in the Copa America tournament ended in draws. The only time Brazil have prevailed over them was in the world cup qualifiers, maybe Brazil do not joke with world cup as that is almost their heritage as the have won it more than any other country in the world. I expect Brazil to get a difficult win tonight because most of the indices are pointing to a draw as usual. However, Brazil need this win more than ever because they are not certain that they will win Columbia in their last match. Columbia have been neck to neck with Brazil by their H2H.

Colombia vs Costa Rica

Colombia — Vargas; Muñoz, Cuesta, Sánchez, Mojica; Ríos, Lerma, Rodríguez(C), Arias, Díaz; Cordoba.

Costa Rica — Sequeira; Mitchell, Vargas Calvo(C); Quiros, Galo, Aguilera, Lassiter, Madrigal, Zamora; Ugalde.

Colombia have a very good track record and know this will not be an exceptional so am very much confident that Colombia will win this match against Costa Rica, Colombia are one of the best team in this tournament which must people are expecting them to lift up the trophy.

The US is at serious risk of not even advancing.  They need a good showing against a strong Uruguay team.  They went down a player early but that was an abysmal performance from the US side against an Panama team they should be able to beat when they have their A squad put there.  US is just so far behind in the world of soccer.

Colombia vs Costa Rica

Colombia — Vargas; Muñoz, Cuesta, Sánchez, Mojica; Ríos, Lerma, Rodríguez(C), Arias, Díaz; Cordoba.

Costa Rica — Sequeira; Mitchell, Vargas Calvo(C); Quiros, Galo, Aguilera, Lassiter, Madrigal, Zamora; Ugalde.

Colombia have a very good track record and know this will not be an exceptional so am very much confident that Colombia will win this match against Costa Rica, Colombia are one of the best team in this tournament which must people are expecting them to lift up the trophy.

Indeed Columbia are one of the best teams of the tournament although I can only pick a handful of the teams that are upto world class standard and I think Columbia is amongst them. Although Costa Rica have their own way of things as they magical drew Brazil to an all nill draw but I think that same result will be hard to replicate against this Columbian side who are actually playing quite well.

Brazil will attempts to gets their first winning in this competition from Paraguay today and i have to says Brazil performance is very unstable even in the last 2 matches Brazil was unable to win and the latest is they only playing draw against the team who in the term of squad quality is below to them Costa Rica so this is unsatisfactory result from Brazil considering their status for the current Copa America is the favourite with Argentina and for this match if Brazil want to qualified to the next round then win result is mandatory

Actually a bit worried to see the performance of Brazil now because they seems difficult to win and about the match against Paraguay actually if Brazil can able to bounce back then it's not hard to beat Paraguay because according to the meeting statistics both teams has been met each other plenty and Brazil records is more good than Paraguay even in the last 5 meeting Brazil can gets 4 wins which these records is proven actually Paraguay is not hard opponent for Brazil and the odds for Brazil win is quite low to bets @1.34

So, the Brazilian team is still going through a turbulent time after the departure of coach Tite.... Of the eleven games, only four wins, three defeats and four draws, including the recent draw against Costa Rica in this competition.
The current coach of the national team still doesn't know what "defeat" means in charge of Brazil, but he also failed to present convincing football to the Brazilian fans, I sincerely hope that this scenario changes today.

On the other hand, I think Paraguay's situation is much more complicated, as they already lost to Colombia in the first round, and now they need to look for a positive result against Brazil, a victory, to maintain their chances of advancing in the competition. The "problem" is that Paraguay has not beaten the Brazilian team since 2008.

Anyway, my fans and bets today are in favor of a victory for the Brazilian team... with a strategy yet to be defined.

Colombia is doing good and they are leading right now with 3 goals to 0 vs Costa Rica which managed to get a draw when they faced the Brazilian team! I don't know if this result shows how powerful is Colombia or how bad is Brazil currently.. There is like 15 minutes left in the game by the way and Costa Rica is away from scoring a goal apparently.
In another match played hours before, Uruguay won 5 - 0 against Bolivia. I believe Bolivia will quit from the group stage. The political instability might contribute to these bad performances and results.

The Paraguay versus Brazil match will take place soon, it looks like Brazil will win this match. Vinicius and colleagues will try their best to get perfect points after previously drawing against Costa Rica, and today win will be valuable capital to face Colombia in the next match. In fact, if Brazil is in its best performance, I think this match is very easy to predict, we would certainly say Brazil will win the match. However, recently Brazil has experienced a bit of a setback, especially since Neymar has not strengthened it. Considering this match is very important for Brazil, I don't think they will play a draw.

[Chilwell]

Paraguay vs Brazil

Paraguay — Morínigo; Velázquez, Balbuena(C), Alderete, Espinoza; Cubas, Bobadilla, Villasanti; Almirón, Enciso, Arce.

Brazil — Alisson; Danilo(C), Militao, Marquinhos, Wendell; Gomes, Guimaraes, Paqueta; Savinho, Rodrygo, Vinicius.

Colombia have recorded another three points making it six points and they are left with one game, now Brazil are about to go for their second game of the tournament which already the got only one points and they are second in the table, Brazil haven't lost any game for the past five games while Paraguay are facing serious set back which shows that they can qualify because of their past record, Brazil have a huge opportunity to win this match unless they wish to give us another big disappointment which they show in their first game against Costa Rica, I hope this turn to be a great opportunity for Brazil.

I seriously believe that they will lose today and will not advance to the next round. And if that really happens, they will certainly be out of the next World Cup. Because the pressure will be very high and they will not be able to fix everything in time.

Brazil have created plethora of chances but could not score until 10 minutes left in the first half in which they managed to score 3 goals within those 10 minutes, and it's looking really safe for them now, Vinicius Jr. with 2 goals and Girona's sensation "Savio" also found himself on the score sheet, It was looking bound to be another frustrating night for Brazil after Lucas Paqueta missed a penalty kick, but just few minutes after he did set up Vini Jr. who made an impressive finish.

Paraguay have also created their own chances as well, but they game just seemed to slipped through their hands within a really short period of time.

This is the kind of game I expected from Brazil in their opening match, they're very strong contenders of the tournament and therefore they shouldn't be showing weakness of any form, they were supposed to had won against Costa Rica and toping their table ahead of Colombia that's currently dominating with 6points, but then this current scoreline in the first 45mins of the game have put them in a good position and hopefully they'll beat Colombia to get 7 points and top their table in the next match. However, Paraguay is not giving up yet, they've utilised a good chance to a goal, but I don't think they'll have a comeback and win or draw the match against Brazil,  I think there would be more goals in that game and it would definitely be from the Brazilian team, probably one or two more goals before the final whistle.

It's 1 - 3 now for Paraguay with a fantastic goal from Alderete. It lightens hope for Paraguay because the match is still long for them to do something. The distant shot is magnificent and Alisson has no chance to make a save.

2 goal difference against a strong opponent like Brazil is a big gap and Brazil can secure three points. Brazil need to win this match to control their position in this group and avoid high risk in their last match in the group. This reduces chance for Paraguay to have points in this season especially Brazil now has two goal difference.

[nelson4lov]

I watched the half time of the Paraguay vs Brazil game. As someone that watched majority of the Euro 2024 matches so far, I can say for a fact that the Copa America — based on the Chile v Argentina and currently, Paraguay vs Brazil games. Absolutely loved how Vini Junior have put top tier Brazilian football on display in the first half which earned him a brace. IIRC, at some point in the game, there was a commentary about Brazil not being able to score a goal in 2 years yet they comfortably put 3 past Paraguay  in the first half.

Noiceee.

Brazil have just earned yet another penalty, it was exactly a carbon copy of the same penalty that Paraguay conceded in the first half with the player having his hands not tucked behind his body. This quite very unfortunate for Paraguay, I think they've tried playing well enough to not deserve this kind of score line to be fair, especially with conceding 2 penalties in a single match.

[Bitcoin_people]

Brazil were more aggressive from the start against Paraguay, managing to score three goals in the first half. All in all, the Brazilian team fought hard enough to advance in the group table and they succeeded. Because the next match will face them with Colombia and currently Colombia is very strong so Brazil must win this match. However, as Brazil secured a 4-1 win, they will qualify for the Round of 16. But this season Brazil team is not in very good form in Copa America where in other seasons they are very strong but this season their performance is not so strong. Maybe this is what a coach needs in a team that is full of stars but lacks a strong attack. So if Brazil team appoints an experienced coach in their team then surely the team will be stronger and can perform this well in every match.

He is a brightest star player of Brazil recent years and will replace this leadership role of Neymar who has been in downside of career. Many injuries and movement to Saudi Professional League are signals that Neymar's important role in Brazil national team will decrease more with time and with growth of young players like Vinicius Jr.

Brazil get a big win and secure their ticket to a next round of Coppa America 2024 and it's good for them because Vinicius Jr. is back. He is a most important attacking player in their squad this Coppa America and without a world class striker, their dependence on Vinicius is big. This generation player of Brazil lack of good strikers, midfielders and attacking contributions from their wing back players are limited too.
