  Copa America 2024: Colombia downs Costa Rica, could play in Arizona again next week Eight years ago, South America's CONMEBOL soccer federation made the bold move to hold its 100th anniversary continental soccer championship tournament in the United States. Three matches were held at what is now State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. In 2024, Copa America is back in the U.S, and the home of the Arizona Cardinals is host once again to three matches. The first took place Friday, a Group D match between Colombia and Costa Rica. It was little surprise which team's fans would have the largest presence. Colombia fans traditionally travel well to FIFA World Cups, and many came from South America and other parts of the U.S., washing the stadium yellow. Colombia can seize control of the group with a win, while Costa Rica can move in to first place temporarily if it gets the three points from what would be an upset victory.

  South Africa skittle Afghanistan to reach first T20 World Cup final A clinical South Africa skittled Afghanistan for 56 on their way to a comprehensive nine-wicket victory in the first Twenty20 World Cup semi-final in Trinidad on Wednesday, sending the Proteas into their first ever final. It was a first victory in eight short-format World Cup semi-finals going back to 1992 for South Africa, who will now take on the winner of Thursday's second semi-final between India and holders England for the title in Barbados on Saturday.

  Semi-Final Preview: India eye revenge against defending champio ns England   India versus England in a Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final – this is a game where more cricket history will be written. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide, when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to victory in the sort of manner that forced a complete rethink in India’s T20 strategy. This time around, though, India have more batting firepower, more options through the middle overs, and more variation in their attack, but the defending champions will take some beating, especially with Buttler and his new opening partner Phil Salt both in blistering form. England are two games away from becoming the first men’s team to retain a T20 World Cup. India have not won this tournament since its inception back in 2007, and are searching for their first World Cup win in any format since 2011. T
