COPA AMERICA: MEXICO-URUGUAY AND CHILE-PERU
Chile and Peru were both already through. Peru chose to play with a squad of alternates, whereas Chile went for the win by starting out with alternates, then subbing in 3 of their big stars in order to secure the win. However, although they did win 1-0, it was by own goal from an unfortunate Peru player. Excuse me for sounding bitter, but Peru is one of my favourites.
Still in keeping with the fact that I have no computer still, and can only upload a limited amount of photos to my small notebook, this picspam will be SMALL.
The Mexico-Uruguay match was one of the most exciting I've ever seen. Uruguay won 1-0 which means they will have to face Argentina in the next round. I feel bad for Mexico, a team I really like a lot. (And I am sorry I won't be staring at Rafa Marquez Lugo anymore for awhile until the Mexican league gets underway.) Mexico almost equalized with a Lugo header, but he was called offside. If Uruguay had tied they would have played someone else in the next round, either Colombia, or perhaps another team. I don't know, it was so confusing to try and figure it all out. Mexico actually had to win this match in order to move on.
Btw, my favourite Copa teams in order: #1 - Colombia, #2 - Paraguay, #3 - Uruguay, #4 - Peru.

No matter how it goes, that match will undoubtedly be one of the most painful things in my football life up to now. It's the team I've loved since I began understanding football as a child versus the one that has my two favorite players, as well as being the home country of a lot of friends and of my favorite club.
The idea of the two of them facing each other in such an important match is horrible and heartbreaking.
But... more than 20 years of love, joy and despair cannot be put aside, so I will be wholeheartedly behind Argentina.

I'll be ecstatic if Colombia makes the semis and ends up the third-best team. I think they've earned it. But anything can happen. :) And perhaps it will be Colombia vs Uruguay in the semis. Then I will be the one going crazy! :(

Of course, since I saved these I have found more niceeeee pics... :(
No, this draw is horrible. The Argies were so terrible before, I cannot believe that things could just suddenly turn around for them. The Urus' defense will have to be STRONG. And that will be hard now with 2 guys out. However, the Argie defense is SO BAD that maybe Uruguay can beat them by scoring more goals. For sure they have the firepower, even more so than Argentina, I'd say. I only wish Forlan was in good form. But maybe that will come. He was so close so many times...
Remember the Argies beat the Ticos who didn't play well in the midfield that match. But Mexico played GREAT against Uruguay, and the Urus still won! They can beat Argentina!!! *is hopeful*

SEMIFINALS: Colombia vs Uruguay and Paraguay vs Venezuela
But I guess it will be Colombia vs Argentina and Brazil vs Chile
And in the FINAL I would like my original wish of Colombia vs Paraguay. But I guess it will be Argentina vs Brazil, and Colombia vs Chile for the third-place spot.
