Argentina knew they had an entire country rooting for their failure. So they sent a message that it'll take much more than boos to send them packing.
Lionel Messi had three assists, Angel Di Maria scored two goals, and four others found the back of the net as the Argentines turned in a dominant all-around performance to earn a 6-1 win over Paraguay in their Copa America semifinal.
Messi assisted on both first-half goals, setting up Marcos Rojo and Javier Pastore. Di Maria netted both of his goals in the second half, helping extend Argentina's lead beyond reproach.
