La Copa America

Chile hosted the 99 year anniversary edition of the Copa America. Since having participated since the first Copa America in Argentina in 1916 Chile had never won the tournament.  Chile had never really won much of anything.  This time around though the stars seemed to align for the host country.  The best team Chile may have ever had, playing on their home soil, and a little penalty luck, the Chileans beat a Messi-led Argentine side in Santiago.  The city and the country went wild for one night of pura carrete.
