Just four teams are left in the running for the Copa America.
Some of you may wonder why I didn’t do a Copa America blog for the groups with a game to go or a quarterfinals prediction blog. Firstly, blogs are too tiring. I like the Copa America but my hands can only take so much typing and I can only have so much inspiration. I’m not a professional blogger. Secondly, I was on vacation in my city…

El de hoy es un nuevo aporte de Javier Padilla, mediante el cual se ha diseñado y añadido a la Galería de banderas y escudos de clubes desaparecidos la bandera del desaparecido Club Atlético Charrúa, uno de los escasos clubes verdinegros del Uruguay cuya sede se ubicaba en la calle 8 de Octubre 4695 del montevideano barrio de Maroñas.
Gracias a Gabriel Ladetto Porrini sabemos que el club arrancó en la órbita A.U.F. en el año 1911 participando en la Tercera División y luego actuó de manera muy intermitente en la Extra, datando su última presencia oficial del año 1935 y completando nueve temporadas de actividad oficial.
Nice challenge, Anon! since they're all related it's difficult to spread one clean line. But let's suppose I could and this would be the result.

Disclaimers: Abya Yala is the name for the land known as "America" in the kuna language, adopted by other indigenous groups. Pindorama is the name of the coast of the land known as "Brazil" given by the tupi-guarani people, but also used to talk about the entirety of the modern country. I'll be using these terms throughout the posts.
The boleadeira is a type of weapon used in the south Abya Yala for centuries, first used by the indigenous people of the land (Charrua, Minuano, Guarani, etc) for hunting and in battle as well. This first version of the boleadeira is somewhat different to the modern one.
ID: Two photos of different pre-colonial boleadeiras made out of rock, on a white background. The first is oval and has a hole on the top and a large sort of slit in the middle. The second is circular with a small and a large point, a number painted in white on it. It also has the same sort of slit. /End ID
Pre-colonial boleadeiras were made out of rock and usually circular or oval, the slit in the middle occurring due to the rope that was tied around them (as is speculated by archaeologists) causing a sort of friction. Some boleadeiras had points, the ones with several points being called boleadeiras mamilares.

It's believed the oval and circular ones were used for hunting; similar to its modern use, the hunter would raise the boleadeira, spin it, then throw it towards the legs of the animal. The animal would then fall, being completely immobilised. This was used mostly with large animals such as emus.
The ones with points, however, are believed to have been used in battle, in a much similar way, but thrown in a way to hit the other person instead of immobilise them, as the points could cause great harm.

Another example of a pre-colonial boleadeira, this time a properly circular one. All of these were, as far as I can tell, found in Pindorama, in the land known as 'Rio Grande do Sul' nowadays, but as mentioned, other territories of Abya Yala had boleadeiras, such as, but not limited to, Argentina and Uruguay.
Modern day boleadeiras look differently and serve a different function as well. They were used on horses and cattle to immobilise them, however, not for hunting, but for capture and sometimes for sport in rodeos or dances. They are made of leather, metal or rock and tied to ropes of equal length. This rope is either tied around the balls or around some sort of ring that is attatched to them. Usually there are two or three balls in a boleadeira.
It’s interesting for the World Cups, the host nation is normally in the first group. Same with the Euro. The Copa America has the defending champions in Group A instead and the host nation in any group. Here it’s Group C. Not that I have a problem with it. It’s just unique that way. In the meantime, here’s my look at Group C of this year’s Copa America:
