RE: Official Copa America 2004 thread...
Ok... for those that didn't watch the game...
We were drawed 1-1. About 5 minutes before the end of the match, we scored a (great) goal which put us 2-1. The referee added 3 minutes. 10 seconds before that time (i.e. 47:50 minutes of the second half), Brazil scored a goal. In the penalties, well, we did very badly.

LIMA -- Brazil won the Copa America on Sunday, beating Argentina 4-2 on penalties after Adriano's equaliser in the third minute of injury time left the two sides drawing 2-2 at the end of normal time in an astonishing final.
Argentina appeared to have won the Cup when substitute Cesar Delgado put them 2-1 ahead in the 87th minute. But Adriano levelled with the last kick of the game and his seventh goal of the competition.
The goal sparked a brawl after Brazil celebrated in front of the Argentina bench and referee Carlos Amarilla called for police intervention.
Argentina's players squirted water at their opponents while Adriano was booked for taking his shirt off as he celebrated.
