Crespo out, Uruguay in

Bad news for Argentina, as the Argentinean medical team confirmed what Hernan Crespo had assumed yesterday: a torn quadriceps means he's going to miss the rest of the tournament.

This is terrible news for both Argentina and Crespo himself, who was participating in his first Copa America and had already scored 3 in 2. Argentina loses their most experienced striker and one of the leaders of the team. The onus now falls on either Carlitos Tevez or, more likely, Diego 'el Principito' Milito to pick up the slack.

Crespo tore his muscle while taking a penalty against Colombia that tied the match and brought his goal total with the National Team to 35, second behind Gabriel Batitusta, who has 56.

The U-20s, meanwhile, blasted Panama 6-0, after drawing 0-0 against the Czech Republic in their first match.

Meanwhile, back in Venezuela, Uruguay and the hosts drew their final group match 0-0, after Peru and Bolivia drew 2-2 earlier in the day. The results mean Bolivia is officially going home, while Uruguay qualifies as one of the best-third-place teams. Venezuela wins the group and Peru finishes second.
