RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil have lifted the trophy every time they have hosted the Copa America and will look to maintain this perfect record with a first major tournament triumph since 2007 when they take on Peru in Sunday's final. Brazil captain Dani Alves was accused of over-confidence after posting "That's it" on Twitter after Peru shocked Chile, although the right back later denied that he was mocking Ricardo Gareca's side. Brazil defender Marquinhos said no-one in his side was underestimating Peru, who have reached the final of the Copa America for the first time since winning their second South American title in 1975. Brazil have won the tournament eight times, including four times as hosts. We will have to combine these factors and the tiny details will prove the difference in this game.
