Copa America: Twitter reacts as Paraguay do great escape against Argentina

After Argentina were shockingly held 2-2 by Paraguay in their Copa America group game at La Serena, Twitter users have reacted over the tournament favourites' inability to ward off weak opposition.

Despite taking an early lead, thanks to strikes by S. Agüero (29th minute) and talisman Lionel Messi (36th minute), Paraguay came back in style thanks to Valdez's powerful shot which left keeper Romero helpless in the 60th minute, whereas Barrios completed the comeback with a priceless goal (90th minute) when the game was almost about to be over.

Here is a list of reactions from Twitterati who are upset at the 'Albiceleste's' inability to close out 85th ranked opposition.

This tweet pokes fun at Argentina's 'non-existent mid-field'.

While this one complains about coach Tata Martino's 'idiotic' strategy for the game.

Tata Martino can have no complaints. He brought on two strikers when Argentina were on the ropes. Utter idiocy.

Meanwhile check out Valdez's thunderbolt of a strike.

It hasn't been a great game for Paraguay, but at least they have this thunderbolt of a goal. http://t.co/ii5N8ZAEVK https://t.co/ZxvOr7xKQL

Though Argentina have stumbled in their opener, they still have a tough next game against a strong Uruguay side on June 17th.

Despite losing an opportunity to gain three valuable points in today's fixture, the fate of Argentona's campaign will in all certainity be defined by how they fare in their next game.
