This is a match between two great teams of South America. Two teams compromised of players who play with the best teams in Europe. You might say that this team will determine the who will be first place of Group B, but that would be nonsense. Both Argentina and Uruguay had a tough time getting their first games of Copa America; South America is full underdogs with great fighting spirit.
Uruguay were lucky to come away with 3 points against Jamaica as they were stifled by the defense and were seriously threatened by mattocks. It was “Cebolla” Rodriguez’s lone goal that broke the defense of The Reggae Boyz and gave La Celeste the win. Uruguay must take what they have learned from that day and adjust their formation to make Argentina uncomfortable. They could also learn from Paraguay and how they tore the Argentina’s defenses apart.
Argentina were not as lucky as their Rio de la Plata neighbors in securing 3 points. They played a wonderful first half but, in reality, their two goals came from a defense mistake and the other from the actress name Di Maria. Paraguay come on the pitch a team transformed for the second half and treated up to two stellar goals. Argentina was not the same for the last 45 minutes and how will they manage losing 2 precious points in a tricky group.
