Copa America: Paraguay in the final without winning a single match!

Paraguay's players celebrate after winning their semi-final  in penalty shoot






Paraguay has managed their unusual performance to reach in the final of the Copa America without winning a single match in the competition in 90 or 120 minutes. They will face Uruguay in the final on Sunday.

Paraguay is the expert draws and Math won in shooting goals. Captain Justo Villar, already a hero against Brazil in the quarterfinals (0-0 aet, 2-0 pens), he stopped the penalty of Lucena (Venezuela player) and sent to Paraguay in the final against Uruguay on Sunday

The Guarani, nickname of Paraguayans, who reached the final of the competition for the first time in the new format of twelve teams created in 1993, have the opportunity to win the third continental title in their history (after 1953 and 1979).

And Paraguay to continue the great story! Villar, in fact, already written a history by reaching the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup, eliminated only by Spain, future champion.




The story of the Paraguayans is unbelievable. In their last ten competitive matches, they only have won one (against Slovakia at the 2010 World Cup)!

Now for the final, what would be the slogan for Paraguay? The answer is patience. Not to score a goal, but to arrive at the session of shots on goal, and Villar will do the rest.
