Chile win Copa America title after beating Argentina on penalties
Chile won the Copa America for the second time in a row, beating Argentina 4-2 on penalties after a fractious, physical 0-0 draw in New Jersey.
It was a repeat of last year’s final, when the two sides had also played out a goal-less draw before Chile winning 4-1 on shoot-out.
The final in New Jersey, which was an end to end affair that saw both Marcelo Diaz and Marcos Rojo red-carded in the first half, could not be decided in regular time nor extra time.
Arturo Vidal missed Chile's first penalty, only for Lionel Messi to balloon his kick well over the crossbar.
Argentinian midfielder Lucas Biglia then missed the crucial fourth kick, allowing Francisco Silva to net the winning penalty as Chile defended its 2015 title.
Ronaldo is a nancy boy .........
He will have to prove it on Thursday against Poland.

"Lionel" literally means 'young lion". So, Messi could rename himself as 'Asad Al Messi' and play for Qatar.
