Paraguay Eye Third Pickup Truck as Prize for Argentina Upset

CONCEPCION, Chile — Paraguay coach Ramon Diaz, famous for his motivational methods, revealed on Monday he owes his squad two pickup trucks plus a third if they upset Argentina in their Copa America semi-final.

Argentina are favourites to win Tuesday's match in the northern city of Concepcion (2330 GMT) and reach a final against hosts Chile or Peru.

"Did I promise the squad something? Ask the players, they've already won two," Argentine Diaz told a media conference, laughing.

Striker Edgar Benitez later confirmed: "We've already won two pickups off him and we're going for the third.
