Copa America huge chance for Chile to finally win big title

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — It feels like it's now or never for Chile.

The Copa America host heads into Saturday's final against Argentina with one of its best chances ever to finally break through with a major title.

Playing in front of the home crowd and with an unprecedented generation of players, Chile has almost everything going its way. Another victory will be enough to give the nation the coveted title, and failure will feel like a huge missed opportunity.

Chile is playing in its first Copa America final in 28 years. It was runner-up four times, including at home in 1955.

Playmaker Jorge Valdivia says "the Chilean people are happy" with what the team has achieved so far, "but we still haven't won anything."
