In a game where USA held off Argentina brilliantly, this Copa America match ended up as the others have done, with an abundance of goals.
4-1 was the end scoreline with Manchester Uniteds Heinze getting an assist and West Hams Carlos Tevez scoring a fine goal, Juan Veron formally of Manchester United and Chelsea had a great game running the midfield.

Like I said on digg.com:
Terrible game for the US... even though they played organized and with a lot of enthusiasm they couldn't stop the Argentinian strikers.
Unfortunately for the US team, technique, organization and enthusiasm is not enough to beat the talent of the Hundred-Million-Dollar Argentinian team.
But cheer up! they have really good chances against Colombia (defeated 5-0 by Paraguay) ... and a not-too-talented Paraguay.
Hi, just commenting from a different point of view since I'm writing from Buenos Aires! I sincerely think US has made lots of progress in a relatively short span of time. But consider this: You guys are well organized, every player makes it's role in a professional way and you make long passes with a reasonable accuracy. Now, what's desperately lacking on the USA is CHARACTER. Character translated in at least one, or two guys who play creatively, who give explosion and are unpredictable. That's what you guys don't have. Just consider this: 8 minutes from the start, you were ahead the runner-ups of the Cup. That's remarkable! Now, how did your team react as a whole? 2 mins. later, it commited a foul 30 mts. ahead it's area against a team which has not one, but two FK specialists!. That is far from recommendable. More ahead, when the game was equalized, what in that situation, and considering how everything was developing, resulted in an open-ended game for any of both teams, the US team keeps it's line and has no reaction at all! That in our country would be totally exasperating, to the level that we have a name for this kind of playing: "Pecho Frío"! Literally meaning "Cold Chest", and refers to someone who has no emotion, and therefore doesn't fully involves in the game.
We play Football with passion, that's why everytime we loose in a World Cup we cry. They are tears of pure passion, the same tears we let loose when a goal is scored.
Cheers.
hey Guillermo, the germans and the ITALIANS might disagree with you about the importance of passion. organization is much better than passion any day in modern football.
this is a 2nd stringer USA team - I think that USA decided to go all out for Copa de Oro - which they felt they have a 90% chance to win - and just ignore Copa America - which they have 1% chance to win.
Copa America is not even covered in ANY english TV, while FSC covered Copa de Oro.
I really like Argentina and I think you have the best fans and the best songs; what happened in the last world cup?
