There is only two types of persons – the ones who adore Brazilian football and the others that simply never admit that.Jokes aside, it was a pure pleasure to watch Brazil last night in the semifinals of Copa America against Peru. The fact Neymar and co. won only 1-0 can not diminish their excellent performance at Maracana embellished with many splendid moves and dribbles.Playing the Brazilian way 🇧🇷 pic.twitter.com/fmeDSBdjNF— Photos of Football (@photosofootball) July 6, 2021 From Neymar to Casemiro and back, it demonstrated the legendary ‘Joga bonito’ (beautiful play) that captures the very essence of Brazilian football philosophy. Peruvian players were nutmegged more than several times in a replay of the previous edition of the Copa America but conceded only one after PSG superstar passed a ball to Lucas Paqueta. The latter nailed it smoothly for the win.The Selecao will play Lionel Messi’s Argentina or Colombia, who meet in Brasilia on Wednesday, in Saturday’s final at Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Maracana stadium.Last week Messi scored 2 goals to knock out Bolivia from the Copa America.

I’m supporting Argentina because I have friends there and Brazil will win the final,” said Neymar.”Paqueta is a great player. He’s getting better in every game and in every game with the national team,” he said about the 23-year-old match-winner, who plays his club football for Lyon in France.”He’s just had a great season with his club and is showing that he can be a very important player for the Brazilian national team.”
