Friday's Copa America News



Well, it turns out yesterday wasn't a slow news day after all. Compare it to today and you realise it was a 24hr firework display of news. Today is dull. The Copa goals and excitement seemed to have dried up. Hopefully this is only due to the final group stage matches being dead rubbers. I'm sure things will heat up again at the weekend. Here is the line up for the quarterfinals:

Saturday:
Uruguay Vs Venezuela 6:05 EDT
Chile Vs Brazil 8:50 EDT

Sunday:
Mexico Vs Paraguay 6:05 EDT
Argentina Vs Peru 8:50 EDT

Okay, the US only took a B team, but nonetheless it was a poor showing, summed up by the last eight minutes of last night's match: even down a man with a striker in goal Colombia looked the more potent team.
