My feelings about American Cup are only happiness. I'm chilean and the triumph in this tournament is like a dream for us... but, there're some things that it's impossible to ignore about this.
Is important to say that the games were SO boring during the group stage, except the match between Paraguay and Argentina where Lucas-Barrios razed against Messi and company or the match where Brazil beat Peru with a agonizing goal in the ultimate minute.
But actual games you could see them in the quarterfinals. Different countries gave great surprises! In the case of Chile, overcomes the favorite, Uruguay, generating a series of disputes by arbitration and doubts for a foul he committed player Gonzalo Jara (Chile) that led to the expulsion of Edinson Cavani (Uruguay). The controversy continues in the other matches with Peru and the final game with Argentina, calling into question the legitimate triumph of Chile (in my opinion).
Another controversy was the one that carried out the Argentine striker Lionel Messi, named the best player in the world during the American Cup. Argentines criticized his performance on the field, saying he slept throughout the game. There is also a rumor that refused to be named best player for this reason, although not confirmed officially. This fogged the triumph that led to the final, when they beat by 6-1 to Paraguay team in the quarter-final rematch. I'm anxious to see what will happen next year -Chile will not play like local- in the Centennial American Cup in USA. Is Chile will be able to maintain leadership? The mood is intact! Chile you can!
