Mission impossible for USA

With this match is starting the last knockout round in this year's Copa America Centenario. And what an amazing tournament it has been for the hosts as USA is aiming to become the first non-South American country to enter into the final. In the historic moment they will try to beat one of the title favorites - Argentina in their own backyard.
For whole competition the Stars and Stripes are playing little nervously, and although USA are winning the matches from the second day in group A their game is improving. This morning actually the hosts are playing their second toughest opponent in the event (after Colombia) and it will be interesting to see how they will start. But the Argentina's deadly trio Messi-Higuain-Lavezzi will surely give them plenty of headaches (specially the first one). On the other hand there is nothing much to tell for the South American team as everything was said here throughout the tournament.
Because no one wants to gamble in the lottery penalty shootout, in a tense first semi final and at full stadium, we give advantage to Los Gauchos for a win in 90 minutes.
