The most prestigious South Amierican tournament dates back to 1916. Uruguay is in search of its 15th Copa America title, which would give it one more than rival nation Argentina for the lead, while Paraguay is looking for its third title.
Uruguay is led by a pair of talented forwards with Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez and a determined attack that has scored in each Copa America match, while Paraguay is led by a suffocating defense that has shutout three opponents in the tournament, including attack-minded Brazil for 120 minutes.

Uruguay may still be riding high after defeating host and neighboring nation Argentina in probably the best match of Copa America. Forlan terrorized Argentina on set pieces, and the Uruguayan defense held off Argentina's talented collection of forwards despite being a man down for nearly 50 minutes.
In the semifinals, it seemed like Uruguay was carrying the momentum of the victory over Argentina as they eased by a Peru side that probably was happy and surprised to have advanced as far as they had.
