LIVE: Brazil, Argentina Battle for Place in Copa America Final

South American rivals Brazil and Argentina meet with a place in the Copa America final on the line, as the two play at Estadio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte Tuesday night.

The sworn enemies are both looking to vanquish some past ghosts in this semifinal. For host Brazil, it's about returning to the place of its most infamous defeat–a 7-1 loss to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinals–and emerging victorious to move onto the final. For Argentina, it's about quieting its throngs of critics and ending a trophy drought–one that extends back to 1993 and has always been the key talking point for anyone disputing Lionel Messi's place among the all-time greats.
