Copa America videos: A tale of two “tris”

Wednesday’s Copa America matches involved two teams nicknamed “El Tri”; yet while one lost via a late comeback the other won in a stunning upset.

* For the second straight day, one of the top teams was upset; in this case it was Mexico who blanked Brazil 2-0 on a pair of phenomenal goals scored by Nery Castillo and Ramon Morales (video link):

* In the other match, Chile came from behind twice to overcome Ecuador 3-2. Goals in the final ten minutes of the match by Humberto Suazo and Carlos Villanueva capped a game that “lifted our spirits” according to coach Nelson Acosta (video link):

* Group C opens their matches today with Colombia facing Paraguay while the U.S. hopes for yet another upset in its game against Argentina.

I'm so thankful for this blog! I was working all day wondering about the Mexico game, especially in light of losing to the U.S earlier.

But this is great news! El Tri!

Oh that's so cool. I love the Copa America because the matches Argentina vs Brazil are so exciting! I heard one player from Ecuador team took many generic viagra pills and was sent back home.
