Today’s Video: An upset in La Paz

This week the latest round of World Cup qualifiers in South America were played with the top spots on the line. Of the three games which were played yesterday, the upset occurred when last place Bolivia beat undefeated leaders Paraguay 4-2. The game was played in the high altitude of La Paz, a factor which was taken advantage of by the locals in dominating the Paraguayans.

In other round six matches:

* The hype surrounding the Brazil-Argentina match was huge; two of the world’s best teams squaring off and trying to rebound after disappointing results over the weekend. In the end, both teams played to a dull 0-0 tie as the crowd in Belo Horizonte jeered Brazilian coach Dunga.

* Colombia remains the only unbeaten team in the region after their scoreless draw at Ecuador.

* Uruguay’s drive for the top spots improved with a 6-0 drubbing of Peru on Tuesday. Diego Forlan led all scorers with a hat trick.

* Chile plays Venezuela later today with both teams in spitting distance of fifth place play-in spot.

* With nearly one-third of South American qualifiers played Paraguay, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil lead the standings while Uruguay provisionally sits in fifth place.
