Destiny says it's Chile's time at last

WHATEVER happens in this weekend's Copa America final, it is a sure bet that history will be made.

For the football purists out there, it is a dream final pitting the favourites Argentina against the host nation Chile, a fitting fixture to round off the intense three-week South American football showpiece.

The match at the 48,665-seater National Stadium in Santiago is, unsurprisingly, completely sold out and will start at 4am on Sunday (Singapore time). Already, tickets are going on the black market for US$900, with the price surely going even higher as kick-off approaches.
