Copa America videos: Paraguay and Argentina win big

Unlike the first two days, last night’s Copa America action did not result in any upsets. Rather, the losing teams (which naturally happen to be the squads yours truly is a diehard fan of) were outscored 9-1. What else can be said aside that to the victors belong the spoils.

--With the game between Paraguay and Colombia scoreless, Colombia’s Alvaro Dominguez missed a penalty kick in the 28^th minute. That was as close as his team would get as Paraguay whipped Colombia 5-0 including a hat trick by Roque Santa Cruz (video link):

--Soccer journalist Ives Galarcep said it best when he described the U.S.’ effort last night against Argentina as “a beautiful first half, then a bloodbath.” That pretty much summed up the 4-1 victory by los albicelestes over the U.S. (video link):
