As if there's not enough football already this summer, there's also the mighty fine Copa America starting this week as well.

Chile v Peru is always a tasty rivalry and they play this weekend. Vamos Chile!

Hopefully, Argentina have World Cup hangover and Brazil play shite so someone else can win.

USA looked horrible the other night against Columbia. I think they need a new manager

Watch out for Mexico

I'm with Dels, an unexpected winner would be great for the tournament. Brazil & Argentina have enough trophies already so I'm hoping they come unstuck this time. :fastheadbanging: :fastheadbanging: :fastheadbanging:

Quality team but shaky management usually. I think they will have a great tourney and when they play it will be like a home game

I think my pick will be Colombia. They have a decent team, they have very good form going into the tournament. They'll be there or there abouts.

They expanded it to include I think 6 North American teams. Wanted an expanded tourney in anticipation of the WC. Also, I am sure there was cash involved, and lot's of it

In FIBA, the confederation is actually all the America's together. I wonder if there is a move afoot to do that in FIFA

It's the right choice. I always thought Mexico and the US should be involved in it.

I missed it but didn't sound like a great game and the field was crap I heard. They wheeled it in and layed it over the artificial surface. Hey, I got an idea, the USA has loads and loads of big stadiums with grass fields, why not use them? Dumbasses
