The South American nation’s cup final is now ready.

On the revolution of Ideas!

The South American nation’s cup is now ready to have its final match. The Final will be between Uruguay and Paraguay. Uruguay had an extraordinary come back. After not having such a good initial kick off, Uruguay came back and showed why it was 4^th in the last world cup 2010. Uruguay played an excellent game and proved why it should be one of the finalists of Copa America 2011. Uruguay eliminated Argentina in a close game that was decided by penalties. Tevez missed a decisive penalty kick and that changed the game. In the end Uruguay went ahead to play Peru, who eliminated Colombia, in a boring and not so well played game by Colombia which ultimately lead to its elimination. Uruguay played an interesting game against Peru and the Incas showed that their win against Colombia was just luck. Peru won against Colombia not only cause they were able to score the goals that Colombia couldn’t, but because Colombia played a terrible game. All in all, great teams like Colombia left the tournament along with Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.

Uruguay is fair finalist, and we hope we have a great final. This South American Nation’s Cup 2011 had great moments, but the most disappointing thing was that all the favorites were eliminated. Venezuela was a great surprise but it wasn’t enough against Paraguay. Paraguay didn’t play an awesome game, but in the end, in the decisive moment, was able to show its experience and classify to the final against Uruguay. Venezuela was a good surprise, but not enough to move into the finals. Venezuela still needs to have more games to proof it has what it takes to move forward into a final of Copa America which is only reserved for the best of America. Venezuela will have to wait to become a stronger national team in order to join the best of America.

Finally, it was a boring game between Paraguay and Venezuela, but all in all, Paraguay went ahead into the finals leaving a Venezuela, who tried its best, but in the end couldn’t pass over Paraguay in the penalty kicks. Venezuela has a lot of future, and will be a team to have in mind in future tournaments.

The penalties are always a lottery, but Paraguay was the one to win this gamble. One penalty kick was enough to put Paraguay in the finals with Uruguay. Venezuela will play the 3^rd place and 4^th with Peru on Saturday. On Sunday Uruguay will play Paraguay in the final of Copa America 2011 in the Monumental Stadium. This should be an exciting game between two great teams.

We  definitely look forward to seeing this game and may the best team win.
