As a huge Chilean fan, I watched most of the games of this tournament and it was a disgrace. Never mind Chile not finding the offence and losing to Venezuela, all the big teams choked and most games were awful. The only exception was the edge-of-your-seat game between Uruguay and Argentina. Beauty game.
It's needless to say how awful Brazil was. Neymar, whom here in Brazil is already getting play like he has accomplished what Ronaldo and Pele did, Ganso and Pato were pedestrian. I agree they could have used some people in their late 20s to bridge the gap between the kids and guys like Lucio. Brazil has lots to do if they want to win the cup at home in 3 years, I don't think it will happen. Their only saving graces are the development of Neymar and Lucas from Sao Paulo FC. That guy is awesome.
Paraguay was just awful, getting to the final without winning a game, I think. Messi continued to do nothing with Argentina.
