Suarez fires up a cold night -- for them, not us

It was an odd sight.
While we were sweltering in the worst HEAT WAVE in at least five years, fans at the COPA AMERICA soccer semifinal in La Plata, Argentina last night were bundled up against the cold -- draped in coats and capped with ski hats.
Luis Suarez was on fire, though.
The Liverpool man's goals in the 53rd and 58th minutes gave URUGUAY a 2-0 win over PERU and a spot in the final of SOUTH AMERICA'S continental championship.
I watched the game on Spanish-language broadcaster, UNIVISION, from the comfort of my air-conditioned living room, where I was chilled but not as cold as the Uruguayan or Peruvian fans in La Plata.
It's been an entertaining tournament, made more so by the presence deep in the competition of surprise teams such as Peru and VENEZUELA, who play PARAGUAY in the other semifinal tonight.
South American heavyweights Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile all fell at the quarterfinal stage, allowing some of the continent's other soccer-crazed nations to emerge.
