Well who would have guessed that? After many, many missed
chances the 4 favourites for the Copa America Quarter – Finals were all beaten,
and all with only themselves to blame - Although the La Plata Pitch once again
was a suitable vent for Mano Menezez’s Samba Stars after a an embarrassing, “Historically
Incompetent” even as called by top Brazilian paper O Globo.
This set of circumstances has led to Uruguay being the hot favourites
to claim the tournament and now tonight’s semi – final against Peru, although
there’s not much mileage in a short price which has proven unrewarding to punters
in the latter stages so far.
Three of the four quarters have required extra time to separate
the two sides and two have gone to penalties, so while the games have seen more
attacking play, it has comes from the “better” teams and there have been no
games with over 2.5 goals.
For those who think this will be settled in the90 and that
will be that, five of Peru's last seven matches have finished all-square and
Uruguay have drawn three of their four games in the tournament so far. These
figures include the meeting between the two teams in the opening match of Group
C - a 1-1 draw in San Juan.
This could be yet another tight game given that Peru have a
sensational defensive record – They have conceded only two goals all tournament
and only thee in 10 beforehand. With the La Plata pitch and a lack of goals at
the ground, backing the Half Time Draw makes a huge amount of appeal and having
a saver on No Goalscorer at a big price.
