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.

LOL @ funny pics!

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*

I guess we all know that in the past it has always been Argentina vs Brazil in the final. And it could happen again. But this is my wish:

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.

:(

Yeah...we have to consider the payoffs. The refs will try to make Argentina the winner for sure, but if Uruguay can score more goals...but we'll see how many Uruguayans are red-carded in the match to come! :(

Uruguay will get many cards and I guess two reds....

I should be the ref!!!
