AmeriCup 2011: Day 12

USA won Group D after a 2-0 win over Bolivia in the Troccoli stadium.

Brandon Mortz and Brad Schnitzke scored the US goals to take them above Chile, who could only draw with Costa Rica 1-1 at the Centenario. Pablo Antonio García scoring for Chile; Hernán Pastor for Costa Rica.

AmeriCup officials conducted the draw for the next round to begin tomorrow, with Peru handed a potentially lethal tie against Uruguay, Brazil play Chile, and Argentina play Paraguay, but the pick of the bunch has to be USA v Mexico, as the Mexicans are looking for their revenge after losing to the US in the North American Cup final last month.

All quarter-finals - as well as the semi-finals and the final itself - will take place in Montevideo's Centenario Stadium.

Draw for AmeriCup 2011 quarter-finals:
Uruguay v Peru
Brazil v Chile
Argentina v Paraguay
USA v Mexico
