Dunga delight at Brazil's three-star Copa America display

---

MARACAIBO (Venezuela), Jul 16 (AFP): Brazil stunned bitter rivals and overwhelming favourites Argentina 3-0 to win their eighth Copa America title Sunday.
It was the second successive title for the Brazilians and was sweet justification for coach Dunga, who was without superstars Ronaldinho and Kaka, and who had been the target of vitriolic criticism for overseeing a workmanlike rather than traditionally wondrous side.
Argentina, chasing a record 15th title, were outplayed in every department as the sparkling form they showed in the run-up to the final deserted them and deprived coach Alfio Basile of a second Copa having overseen the team's last win in 1993.
Dunga said: "Argentina were the favourites after the way they'd played in the group stages but the final is about what you do in the 90 minutes and it's won by the team that plays better in that time."
He dedicated the title to children around the world living in poverty.
"This is for the children of South Africa, Rwanda, Palestine, Israel, Brazil and anywhere else, those yearning for happiness, peace and a better future to help them fill their hearts with love and purity."
Juan Sebastian Veron Veron summed up the feeling in the Argentinian camp, saying: "We're sad because we failed to achieve our aim of winning the trophy.
