Argentina vs Paraguay Copa America semifinal - 30-06-2015

Argentina v Paraguay Competition: Copa America - 2015 in Chile (Semi-finals) Match date: 30 June 2015 Venue: Municipal (Concepción, Chile, Republic of) Argentina team reached this semifinal through a penalty shoot-out with Colombia as they drew 0-0 in normal time. The Albiceleste have scored just four goals in as many games and Lionel Messi has netted only once. Tata Martino's men will face Paraguay for the second time in this year's competition in Concepcion on Tuesday after drawing 2-2 in the group stages. Tata Martino has the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from and we expect him to name an unchanged XI from the one that overcame Colombia last time out. That would see Messi, DI Maria and Aguero up front with Lavezzi, Higuain and tevez on the bench. After the 2-2 draw against Argentina in their opening game, Paraguay have since continued to defy expectations, drawing with Uruguay in the group stages and beating Brazil o...

Adrian Aldrete has joined the former Barcelona's dfender on the sidelines. Matias Vuoso scored twice in the thrilling draw with Chile last time out and he is expected to partner Raul Jimenez up front. Ecuador have been playing below expectations at the tournament in Chile.

Chile vs Mexico Copa America 15-06-2015

Chile vs Mexico - Competition: Copa America, Group A Match date: 15 June 2015 Venue: Nacional (Santiago, Chile, Republic of)  Chile started their campaign with a 2-0 win over Ecuador courtesy of a Vidal penalty and a late goal from Edu Vargas.  Victory in this match would all but book Jorge Sampaoli's side's spot in the last eight, with all of the other sides in their group having dropped points in their opening matches. Matías Fernández was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time and will now be suspended for the clash against Mexico so Jorge Valdívia should keep his place, potentially playing the role of a false nine. Felipe Gutierrez looks set to replace injured Marcelo Diaz in the starting line-up. Up-front, coach Sampaoli will continue with the dynamic duo Vargas-Sanchez.
