Argentina Opens Promising Copa America Tonight
Argentina opens their Copa America 2007 campaign tonight against invited guests the United States.
A strong Argentina side are favorites to win the tournament, with arch rivals Brazil fielding a weakened side.
In 2004 Brazil's young squad defeated Argentina in the final on penalties, but after a thrashing from Mexico in their opening group match last night, Brazil hardly look likely to defend their title.
The U.S. enters the match with a weakened squad as well, without most of their few recognizable players, and are not expected to put up much resistance to the full strength Argentinians.

Henry Looks to Barcelona for Final Trophy
Having won two EPL titles and three FA Cups, a Champions League crown was all that was missing from Thierry Henry's Arsenal.
But now, as the France international makes a move to Barcelona, one can't help but sense a bit of irony in the whole proceedings.
The Gunners were within 14 minutes from hoisting Europe's most prestigious club trophy in 2006, but two late goals sent the trophy to his new club.
Interestingly, it was Henry who unable to finish, and on numerous occasions the France international could have put the match out of reach.
Barcelona were very fortunate to pick up the trophy that night in Paris, and one moment of brilliance from Henry and it could have been England's 4th place Gunners that were immortalized.
Henry might have done well to have remembered that along with his own side, 5th place Liverpool were champions in 2005 and this year's 3rd place Reds were close again.
And Barcelona are by no means assured another title in the next few years. The Catalan side went out of this year's Champions League in the first knockout round and collapsed in La Liga to finish 2nd.
Now having said that, Henry is obviously a great player. And if he is healthy, Barcelona will surely be threatening to win everything next season.
And maybe it's not just about that, and perhaps Henry views the Gunners as going in the wrong direction.
Seeing the progress of Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as the constant threat of Chelsea, it would be hard to argue that Arsenal have a tough road ahead of them.
And as he turns 30 in August, Henry's time for Champions League glory is definitely starting to run out.
But still, it's hard not to think that had Henry tucked that second-half breakaway under Victor Valdes, that Arsenal's all-time leading scorer wouldn't need to go looking for that last elusive trophy in Barcelona.

Boca Juniors Win 3-0, Copa Libertadores Finals First Leg
Boca Juniors have one hand on the Copa Libertadores trophy as they blanked 10-man Gremio 3-0 in the first leg at La Bombonera.
And just like the semifinals, it was a Juan Roman Riquelme free kick that got things started. The playmaker's cross found Martin Palermo open on the back post. Palermo crossed to an open Rodrigo Palacio and it was 1-0 in the 18th.
Replays did show the goal offside, but the goal stood.
There would however, be no arguing Boca's dominance, particularly in the second half.
It was all Boca, and became more so when Goiano was sent off for a reckless high boot.
After a series of gilt-edged chances for Palacio, one cleared off the line, Riquelme finally made Boca's advantage pay in the 73rd and neatly fired a free-kick near post after the wall had moved.
In the 89th, only seconds after Gremio had just missed one of their few chances, Riquelme dribbled through a handful of defenders and fired a rocket that was parried to the corner, but not out.
The ensuing high cross into the box was headed by Ledesma high towards goal. Two Gremio defenders were unable to clear it off the line and the ball dropped in off Patricio for an own goal.
Boca will takes its 3-0 lead to Porto Alegre knowing their 6th Copa Libertadores title is there for the taking.
The above article was corrected. The original text stated the away goals rule was in effect, but the away goals rule does not apply in the Copa Libertadores Finals.
