Argentina is out of the 2011 Copa America after losing 5-4 on penalties to Uruguay following a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.

Diego Perez’s early goal was cancelled out by Gonzalo Higuain in an action-packed first half, but despite chances from both ends, neither side could break the deadlock, ensuring a nerve-wracking shootout to end proceedings.

After going back and forth on the first four penalty kicks, Argentina’s Carlos Tevez was denied by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who guessed the correct direction as he went to his right.  Read more... (723 words, 1 image, estimated 2:54 mins reading time)

It was not supposed to be this way. Argentina with Lionel Messi and Carlos tevez were supposed top restore pride to Argentina football by winning the Copa America at home. Instead they are in danger of not even reaching the quarter-finals after being held to a 0-0 draw by Colombia.

Fittingly, it was one of the most-wanted men in world football who got the Argentina goal. Sergio Aguero, the son-in-law of Diego Maradona, came on as a second-half substitute and promptly rescued a point after Brazil-born Edvaldo Rojas had stunned the hosts by breaking the deadlock just two minutes into the second half. The 25-year-old ghosted in to nudge home following a corner on the left, the ball running under Ever Banega’s foot on the line with keeper Sergio Romero beaten.  Read more...

The South American duel pitting arguably 2 of the best footballing nations on the planet was settled last night when Argentine wonder kid Lionel Messi scored the only goal of the night to give his side a slender 1-0 win over arch rivals Brazil.

With last night’s result, the reigning World Player of the year moved one step closer to cementing his place in Argentina’s records as one of the country’s all time great players.

At only 23 years of age, it would be an understatement to say that Messi’s future is bright. Last night’s victory also saw the return of Brazilian play maker Ronaldinho to the national team.  Read more... (335 words, 1 image, estimated 1:20 mins reading time)
