While the rest of America was enthralled with the Women's World Cup, I was somewhat paying attention to Copa America. I will be honest, the quality of play in this tournament has been underwhelming. The two big guns of CONMEBOL, Argentina and Brazil, were disposed of in the quarters. Paraguay and Uruguay are the last two teams standing and will hopefully put on a good showing this Sunday (I refuse to watch another scoreless draw that has to be decided by penalties). Here are the highlights from the knockout matches.
Peru 2, Colombia 0(Quarter-Final)
Uruguay 1(5), Argentina 1(4)(Quarter-Final)
Paraguay 0(2), Brazil 0(0)(Quarter-Final)
Venezuela 2, Chile 1(Quarter-Final)
Uruguay 2, Peru 0(Semi-Final)
Paraguay 0(5), Venezuela 0(3)(Semi-Final)
