Colombia secured a place in the quarter-finals in Copa America 2011 as well as topped Group A with 7 points. Argentina, the host, from which was expected so much, will have to satisfy with the second place, only if they manage to beat Costa Rica in their last game.
Colombia are happy campers on the first spot in Group A, which they deserved after two victories, over Costa Rica and Bolivia, and a draw against Argentina, a draw which could have been won as well. Speaking of Argentina, the team sits on the uncomfortable 3rd position, and needs a victory tomorrow against Costa Rica, if they want to be 100% sure they will advance to the quarter-finals.
Despite the bad positioning of both favorites for the tournament Argentina and Brazil, their outright odds to win Copa America 2011 remain almost the same.

Argentina’s odds have gone up with 0.40 since the start of the tournament, while Brazil’s went up with 0.73. Colombia’s odds went down with 41.00 when the teams advanced to the quarter finals, Chile’s as well with 4.50.
There are no games on July 11th, but on July 12 Argentina plays their last game, against Costa Rica at 01:45 UK. The draw is priced at 7.00, if you believe there’s still room for errors. (bet365)
A victory for Argentina with 2 goals margin is almost not worth touching, odds at 1.60 (bet365). However 3 goals margin has odds of 2.50 (bet365) looks rewarding, but many lost faith in the Argentinian squad after the first two ties.
Odds for Lionel Messi to score in this game at anytime are 1.44 (bet365). Can the logical happen finally this time? The most recent game between both teams was a friendly in 2010, which finished 3:2 in favor of Argentina.
Over 3.5 Goals is priced at 2.50 (bet365) which is the bet I would go for and highly recommend.
