Paraguay see off poor Brazil

CONCEPCION, Chile -- Three thoughts on Brazil and Paraguay's Copa America quarterfinal, which Paraguay won 4-3 on penalties after the two sides drew 1-1.

They will now face Argentina in Tuesday's semifinal.

1. Brazil pay the penalty vs. Paraguay again

History repeats itself, after another reprehensible Brazil campaign.. Paraguay knocked out the five-time world champions in a quarterfinal penalty shootout for the second Copa America in a row, while the Brazilians bowed out in embarrassingly underwhelming fashion for their fourth straight tournament.

It is time for the country to take a deep look at its football culture, as this was a deeply poor and dull performance.
