There's only one quarterfinal left at Copa America and that means there is only one semifinal place left up for grabs. It'll be either Chile or Venezuela who grabs it and it will be determined in the next two hours in San Juan. Paraguay defeated Brazil on penalties earlier so the winner of this quarterfinal earns the right to play the Paraguayans for a spot in the Copa America final.
Copa America 2011 Quarterfinals, Chile Vs. Venezuela: Lineups
Chile will once again lean on their two dynamic frontmen, Alexis Sanchez and Humberto Suazo, but Arturo Vidal may be the most important player. He has been a force in the midfield this tournament and they'll need more of it today. Venezuela is the surprise team here and the definite underdog, but a good performance by Tomas Rincon and another dominant shift at the back by Gabriel Chichero might be enough to see them through.
