A person looks at volcanic ashes and smoke from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano as seen from Entrelagos, in southern Chile, on June 10, 2011.
The Copa America soccer tournament held in Argentina and set to start July 1 will likely be postponed due to an erupting volcano in Chile that is grounding flights. The South American futbol competition is being delayed due to the amount of ash that the volcano is spewing into the air, which is making it difficult for teams to arrive via airplane.
