The situation around the final match of the South American Copa America tournament continues to heat up. Earlier, the forward of “Pentacampeone” Neymar spoke in an extremely radical way against the group of Brazilian fans who in the upcoming game will be rooting for the principal rivals of their country - the Argentina national team.
