    What now for Paraguay?

    No doubt Ramon Diaz's players want to go home.

    Unfortunately they must play Peru in a third place play-off first.

    At least Diaz won't have to fork out on any pick-up trucks for his players.

    Wow. 

    That was really special by Argentina.

    Four of the six goals came from Manchester-based players.

    The final moments are a damage limitation exercise by Paraguay. The quarter-final winners over Brazil don't know what has hit them.

    Host Chile will not enjoy watching this.

    Argentina have suddenly come alive at the perfect moment.

    This has been a ruthless display by Gerardo Martino's men.

    Next stop...Santiago.

    Sergio Aguero hardly had time to celebrate when he was replaced by Gonzalo Higuain.

    And the Napoli forward has wasted no time getting in on the act, finishing from close range after Paraguay's shell-shocked defence fails to deal with another attack.

    Paraguay just want this game to end.

    Too easy.

    Sergio Aguero, unmarked eight yards out, gets on the end of Angel Di Maria's cross to score Argentina's fifth goal.

    Argentina 4-1 Paraguay

    The high intensity has evaporated from this game. Barring a sensational Paraguay comeback, Argentina are in the final.

    Another change by Gerardo Martino. This time Javier Mascherano, who is a booking away from a suspension in this tournament, is replaced by midfielder Fernando Gago.

    Javier Pastore's work is done.

    He's been excellent for Argentina and receives pats on the back from the coaching staff as he is replaced by Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega.

    Fifteen minutes remaining.

    As the atmosphere drops with Argentina in total control, how about a strangely timed newspaper review.... No surprise that today's newspapers in Chile were focusing less on this game and more on their home team's victory in Santiago. In fact it dominated the local media so much that La Cuarta and Las Ultimas Noticias didn't have any non-football news at all. The El Mercurio called Chile's achievement "A historical step". Meanwhile in another reference to the spat between Chile and Peru over an alcoholic cocktail (I'm not going there again!) La Terceca went with the headline: 'He (Vargas) drank all their Pisco!'

    The only thing missing from this Argentina performance is a Lionel Messi goal. The Barcelona forward links well with Javier Pastore but, just when it looks as though Messi might get on the scoresheet, he is thwarted by Paraguay's goalkeeper.

    Can Angel Di Maria become the second player of the tournament to score a hat-trick? He's certainly giving it a go.

    Argentina are toying with their opponents. They've taken their foot off the gas since scoring the fourth but continue to dominate possession.

    Just over 20 minutes remaining.

    Poor Paraguay.

    They won so many plaudits for containing Brazil in the quarter-finals before knocking them out on penalties.

    But they have been handed a lesson in clinical finishing in Concepcion.

    Argentina are rampant.

    They have scored as many goals in this game than in their previous four matches of the tournament.

    And they're not finished. Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Javier Pastore are causing carnage.

    Alexi Sanchez versus Lionel Messi. Angel Di Maria against Eduardo Vargas.

    Whatever plans you have for Saturday...cancel them. The Copa America final promises to be something truly special.

    Angel Di Maria rounds off another delightful move which sees Lionel Messi hold off two challenges before laying the ball off for Javier Pastore to set up the Manchester United man to fire into an open goal.

    The more times I see that goal the more I admire Javier Pastore.

    That was one of the passes of the tournament by the Paris St-Germain man. Absolutely sensational.

    Breathtaking goal right off the training ground restores Argentina's two-goal cushion.

    It's a beautiful low angled finish by Angel Di Maria into the bottom corner of the net after a defence-splitting pass by Javier Pastore whose influence on this game is growing by the minute.
