    Argentina’s biggest obstacle: Uruguay or Colombia?

    The story of this year’s Copa America seems tailor-made for Argentina. It feels like Lionel Messi’s victory is destined at the end of this tale. So, we can’t consider the tournament as scripted or pre-planned. It’s as if the god himself wants Argentina to claim this year’s Copa America title.

    Argentina wasn’t troubled after Messi missed a penalty in the Penalty Shoot-out. Goalkeeper Dibu Martinez had another chance to shine by himself. Argentina doesn’t have much to worry about regarding their semi-final opponent, Canada.

    Comparing the football styles of past years, you can’t match Argentina’s playstyles in Copa America. Scaloni’s team has faced criticism for lackluster performances, yet Argentina still made it to the semi-finals.

    Argentina beat Canada 2-0 in the group-stage opener match. Based on the stats, Argentina should reach the final easily. One of the high-voltage matches this Copa America will be the semi-final between Uruguay and Colombia.

    Argentina will have concerns if Uruguay makes it to the final. Uruguay is in great form this year. Star players like Darwin Nunez and Valverde are giving fans hope. Moreover, the master tactician Marcelo Bielsa will plan their strategies. But Colombia won’t be an easy opponent. Colombia is unbeaten in 27 matches which is very surprising. Uruguay and Colombia are currently the toughest teams that could challenge Argentina.

  • The Mystery of Argentina’s Rotating Island in the Paraná River

    The Mystery of Argentina’s Rotating Island in the Paraná River

    The Paraná River flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, making it the second longest river in South America. In the river’s delta in Argentina, there is a peculiar circular island with a diameter of 120 meters.

    Rotating Island

    Floating islands are found in various parts of the world, including Finland, Turkey, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Bolivia, Peru, and India. However, the circular island in Argentina stands out due to its unusual shape, and it is known for constantly undergoing rotation.

    This unique island is home to essential aquatic plants, and at one end of the swamp, tree roots grow. Despite the presence of vegetation, the islands in the lake are sometimes affected by severe storms and strong winds along the coast.

    Argentinian film director Sergio Neuspiller, in search of a perfect delta for his film, discovered this extraordinary location. Originally planning to film supernatural phenomena, he was unaware of the island’s constant rotation. After spending time at the site, he observed the island undergoing a continuous revolution.

    The mystery surrounding this rotating island became evident through images captured by Google satellites on different days. In 2003, the island was part of the Paraná Delta, and the enigma started in 2016.
