It's gotten infinitely more difficult to win Copa America in the face of a golden generation in Colombia, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina THAT OH BY THE WAY coincides with a massive rise in professionalism, nutrition, and quality across the continent. You can't just show up and expect to win, and Brasil have finally (?) realized that. Argentina have yet to do so.

They've given up two goals in a match ONCE, and that was against Belgium when Fernandinho headed the ball into his own net.
