Brazil opened qualifying for the 2010 World Cup with a 0-0 tie Sunday at Colombia’s capital Bogota.
Despite getting a clutch save on a penalty kick by Brad Guzan, Jaime Castrillon's first-half goal sends the Americans back home with an 0-3 record.
MARACAIBO, Venezuela (AP) - With two goals by Juan Roman Riquelme out of retirement, Argentina qualified for the Copa America quarterfinals thumping Colombia 4-2 on Monday. After penalty goals by both sides, Riquelme scored the go-ahead goals in the 33rd and 45th minutes to guarantee the Albiceleste a spot in the quarterfinals along with fellow Group C side Paraguay, and Mexico.
Roque Santa Cruz inspired Paraguay to a 5-0 demolition of Colombia with an amazing hattrick, and his side should be considered strong candidates to fight for the Copa America title.
The World Cup will no longer be rotated among continents, a decision that throws open the race for the 2018 tournament.
South Africa already has been awarded the 2010 tournament and soccer’s governing body is expected to announce Brazil — the only candidate — as the 2014 host Tuesday.
