It will be an all South American final as Brazil vs. Argentina will decide the finals of the Copa America 2007 from Venezuela. Both teams were the favorites at the start of the tournament so the bookmakers at Bodog.com were completely accurate at setting both teams at 7/4 odds to start the tournament .
Alfio Basile was able to get his offensive machine going as Argentina destroyed Mexico in the semi-finals. While the Mexican squad played well, Argentina was too talented. Carlos Tevez, Juan Roman Riquelme and Lionel Messi all played well.
The victory gives Argentina a shot at their 15th Copa America Championship Title but first must get past seven time champion Brazil in the Final.
Brazil beat Uruguay 5-4 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw to reach the fifth Copa America finals. One casualty on the Brazil side will be the loss of Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva.
Silva received a second booking in the game and will have to miss the finals on Sunday. But the defending champions proved even the younger Brazilians have enough talent to get to the finals.
The Copa America 2007 will be a complete failure to the Argentina squad unless they come home with the title. The Copa America 2007 finals between Brazil vs. Argentina will take place on Sunday at 5:05 PM EST from Estadio Jose Pachencho Romero in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
