Brazil fans are concerned about their national team's performance at the 2007 Copa America tournament

Brazil just advanced to the 2007 Copa America quarterfinals but it seems that's not enough to make Brazilian fans ''happy.''

Well, if there's one word to describe the way Brazil made it to the ELITE EIGHT of the 2007 Copa America quarterfinals tournament, it would have to be BARELY. Yeah sure, barely making it to the quarterfinals is still a step towards the 2007 Copa America title, but they're Brazil for crying out loud, and ''barely making it'' just doesn't cut it for a powerhouse football team like Brazil.

An example of Brazil's difficulties in the ongoing 2007 Copa America tournament would have to be the struggles they had in their 1-0 win over Ecuador. That game was Brazil's third consecutive fixture where they found themselves surprisingly struggling on the football field.

And of course, Brazil soccer fans don't like what's been happening to their favorite team one bit.

''Selecao is jeered, but wins and advances,'' read a front-page headline Thursday in Brazil's largest newspaper, Folha de S. Paulo. ''Disappointing. Selecao beats Ecuador with weak soccer,'' read a headline in the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.

To say that the pressure is now on Brazil to perform could very well be an understatement.

Team Brazil is set to face Chile on Saturday's fixture at the 2007 Copa America tournament. Brazil beat Chile in the first stage, 3-0, thanks primarily to the amazing hat trick pulled by the young Brazilian sensation Robinho.

Robinho scored the only goal of the fixture between Brazil and Ecuador with a penalty kick in the second half to help the struggling defending champions finish second to Mexico in Group B.
