Copa America 2021: Brazil fans not really in mood for tournament despite team reaching final

Firstpost  

The pandemic, the last-minute hosting, some unimpressive matches, and the fact that the most popular broadcaster is not showing Copa America have cut down the fans’ interest. “The Copa America is never much fun, but this time even less,” Thomas Castro said as he planned to meet friends for Tuesday’s Euro 2020 clash. Is Brazil playing Argentina sometime?” Brazil’s dominant TV Globo is broadcasting some Euro 2020 matches instead of the Copa America, which is shown on the country’s third most popular open channel, SBT, and on ESPN Brasil on cable. Bars in Rio’s tourist areas are showing Copa America matches, and have been allowed by health authorities since May to stay open late with tables two meters apart.
