Tonight at the Copa América...Paraguay routed Colombia 5-0 on the strength of a hat-trick by Roque Santa Cruz. Colombia had a chance to take the lead on 28' via a penalty, but Alvaro Dominguez's shot was weak and easily saved by Justo Villar. Two minutes later, Santa Cruz took off on the left side and slotted the ball past the Colombian keeper to give Paraguay the lead. It was 2-0 almost immediately after the second half kickoff when Santa Cruz broke away again and cooly finished. In the last 10 minutes Colombia's defense disintegrated as Cabanas scored a pair and Santa Cruz added his third. A comprehensive victory by Paraguay, and a comprehensive collapse by Colombia.
I'd write something about the USA-Argentina game, but I need to collect my thoughts and post something tomorrow. Besides, it's late, I have a 7am flight tomorrow, and I want to hit South Beach one more time. Later.
