Carlos Bacca abrió el marcador en el partido Colombia vs Paraguay
The preparations before Colombia"s 2-1 win over Paraguayon Tuesday evening offered yet more proof that the Copa America Centenario is truly cursed, after not one but two anthem gaffes.
As per usual, the referee flicked the coin into the air, only for it to fall to the turf and land on its edge -- much to the amazement of the respective captains, James Rodriguez and Justo Villar.
Apparently, the chance of a coin (specifically a U.S. nickel) landing vertically is roughly estimated to be 6,000-1.
