Brazil hopes Argentina goes through with its idea to blitz the Copa America final at National Stadium here tomorrow.

Coach Marcelo Bielsa has said Argentina will send as many as six players forward against Brazil, as it has done in more-hit-than-miss style for a tournament-high 14 goals.

8220;I hope they do that,8221; Brazil midfielder Renato said yesterday. 8220;The more players they send to attack us, the more space we will have to use when we get the ball back.8221;

Argentina has eased into the final with four wins in five games, and its all-out offence has drawn praise from even its opponents.

But 8220;you can8217;t attack and defend at the same time,8221; said midfielder Kleberson.

8220;When you play everyone forward, you leave open spaces back there, it8217;s simple,8221; added striker Luis Fabiano.
