The Copa America has reached the quarter-final stage and most of the big hitters still remain, with Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay among the teams looking to find a path through the knockout stages.
But the United States, who are hosting the tournament, have been knocked out and it has not been plain sailing for every team.
Some underdogs have also managed to earn a spot in the last eight and will be looking to cause more upsets.
With the quarter-finals on the way, BBC Sport runs you through the stories to look out for in the Americas' biggest tournament.
Copa America quarter-final fixtures
Friday (02:00 BST): Argentina v Ecuador
Saturday (02:00): Venezuela v Canada
Saturday (23:00): Colombia v Panama
Sunday (02:00): Uruguay v Brazil
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez played a significant part in helping Uruguay achieve a maximum nine points in the group stage and reach the last eight.
He has played in each of their three games, scoring in the 3-1 win against Panama and the 5-0 victory over Bolivia.
Uruguay face tough opponents in Brazil, but are technically strong under former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa, with Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde impressing.
Uruguay beat the USA to knock them out in the group stage. Can they get past one of the favourites in their next game?
