Uruguay Frustrated in 0-0 Draw with Colombia
Maxi Araujo's Miss Proves Costly for Sky Blues
Uruguay and Colombia played out a dour 0-0 draw in their Copa América Group A match on Friday. Despite creating a number of chances, neither team could find a breakthrough. The result leaves Uruguay in second place in the group, while Colombia are third.
The match started brightly, with both teams eager to attack. Uruguay had the better of the early chances, with Maxi Araujo coming close on two occasions. However, Colombia grew into the game and created a number of chances of their own. The best of these fell to Luis Díaz, but he was denied by a fine save from Fernando Muslera.

Argentina Favored to Win Copa América
Defending Champions Have Strong Odds
Argentina are the favorites to win the Copa América this summer, according to the latest odds from BetMGM. The defending champions are priced at -165, ahead of Brazil (-120) and Colombia (-800).
Argentina have a strong squad, led by Lionel Messi. The Barcelona star is one of the best players in the world and will be looking to add to his trophy cabinet this summer.
Brazil are always a threat, but they are not as strong as they once were. Neymar is still a world-class player, but he is not the same player he was a few years ago.
Colombia are a rising star in international football. They have a young and talented squad, led by James Rodríguez and Juan Cuadrado.
However, Colombia have never won the Copa América before. They will need to be at their best if they want to upset Argentina and Brazil.
