19.07.2011 - La Vinotinto se convirtió de Cenicienta en
Revelación pasando por
primera vez en su historia (e invicta) a las semifinales de la Copa América.
Venezuela empató 2 partidos (Brasil - Paraguay) y ganó otros 2 (Chile – Ecuador): hasta

Uzbekistan's Islam Karimov 2007 Election 80%
Kazakhstan's Nursultan Nazarbayev 2005 Election 91.
