Independence Day soccer

I capped a fine INDEPENDENCE DAY weekend with some soccer on television last night.
Esteban Paredes and Arturo Vidal scored second-half goals as CHILE rallied to beat a young MEXICO side, 2-1, in the COPA AMERICA in ARGENTINA.
It was one of those matches that proves the adage about association football being a "funny old game."
Chile dominated possession in the first half -- a 45-minute spell when Mexico seemed incapable of stringing more than three passes together -- yet it was the Mexican fans who cheered a goal. Nestor Araujo's header gave Mexico a 41st-minute goal, completely against the run of play.
By the second half, Mexico actually played better, but Chile finally found a way to turn their goal-scoring opportunities into goals.
Scoring has been down early in the tournament -- the South American equivalent of the European Championship -- with only eight goals scored in the first six games (and a pair of goalless draws).
We can watch some of the games on UNIVISION, an American Spanish-language network.
