Copa America quarters

Intrigue and drama weren't a part of the quarterfinal round of Copa America, but blowouts were.

Uruguay started the party with a 4-1 rout of hosts Venezuela on Saturday, and Brazil followed suit with a 6-1 thrashing Chile. Mexico started Sunday with a 6-0 whipping of Paraguay while Argentina dropped a 4-0 win on Peru.

Now, Uruguay-Brazil and Mexico-Argentina will meet in the semifinals on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Routs at this stage of the tournament are unlikely so it will be nice to have a bit of drama back in Copa America.
