Brazil Depressed, Colombia Renews Hopes in Cup América

Santiago de Chile - Dunga seemed even-tempered when he faced the media after his first flop as soccer trainer of Brazil, after putting together 11 consecutive victories, but for an instant he lost his nerve to attack with irony Chilean referee Enrique Osses.

He was right about Osses, terrible also at the World Cup 2014, main to blame for the party gone sour and concluding with an ugly disturbance on the field. A bad note for Cup America.

Hours before there had been the rag of Arturo Vidal, Chilean winger who crashed his Ferrari against another car intoxicated and was pardoned for now by the now Supreme Jorge Sampaoli, Technical Director of the locals.

Neymar was expelled with a red card that added to two yellow ones. He will miss the match against Venezuela on June 21 and he could receive an additional

Sanction. He received a strong push from Colombian Carlos Bacca after a confusing incident when the game had already finished.

Bacca left also with a red card. Ugly ending for a game that left different sensations, but that rescued James Rodriguez as leader of the coffee growers and brought them back into the continental event with 1-0 over the Brazilian canaries.

"I prefer not to comment on the problems at the end of the game, because in truth, I am happy with the result. We made true our dream of defeating Brazil and in a relevant moment for Colombia", declared James to a group of reporters at the Monumental stadium of this capital.

Dunga lamented what happened with Neymar and admitted that when individualities are compared on a collective game, you pay the cost. And if a goal is wasted when it was almost done, consequences are greater, regarding the failed shot of Firmino alone before the rival bow.

The excessive cautiousness was the worst enemy of the South American giant, although its coach put critical emphasis on the absence of teamwork of his squad. His team should mature and in each match show a style that not necessarily should be around Neymar, he said.

The trainer of the gold and green, however, deplored the work of referee Osses. In a game among friends, this gentleman is out.

Anyway, Brazil stayed with its three points and its rival next Sunday will be Venezuela. Despite all inconveniences and the certainty of not having Neymar, the green and yellow has quality plahers and in paper, seems superior to the redwine.

Today, things should clear up a bit in Group C with the game between Venezuela and Peruj in Valparaiso. A tie would take the incas out of the competition. But if they win, the four members of the group would accumulate three points necessary to keep alive.
