Neymar and especially Pato are the worst in Brazil in the 1st half. Ramires a clear MoM so far.
Brazil has been utter crap this game, even worse than the last one ... Ramires is probably the only one saving face among the midfielders and forwards.
Not sure why they are so static and uninspired but they remind me of a team that is being over-trained, during a tournament, at the end of a season - like England during the WC '10, as Capello himself admitted.
Or maybe they just don't give a rats butt about this tournament 'cause they sure look like it.

That said, Paraguay has made some brilliant passes from distance. But Alves doing his best Motta impersonation on the night could have prevented the eventual damage and could not.

I hope so. Brazil's m.o. in the Copa America is to typically cough and wheeze through the group and elimination stages, and then suddenly turn it on to destroy Argentina in the final. Would be nice not to see that play rewarded out of the group stage this time.
