Not too sure how many of you guys are going to watch it/are interested in it. But I find it great watch, even without some of the higher profile players being there.

It doesn't start for a few weeks but I thought I'd start it up. I believe we have a few Americans and a guy from Venezuela that may have an interest in it anyways. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Group A
Venezuela
Uruguay
Peru

Chile

Nice thread dude. I was going to open it in days. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Without Ronaldinho and Kaka' and probably without some of the big from Argentina this Copa America is not that important. Brazil and co don't take it seriously.

In Europe, everybody fights for a European Championship (like Euro 2004, Euro 2000...) but in Copa America, the big 2 don't give a damn.

Anyway, obviously I'll follow it.

Copa America 2007 from 26 June to 14 of July.

No Kaka... but I always liked the Argentines!

Argentina are superb to watch, regardless of the players on the field. So I like to see them go quite far. Hopefully Athletico's Sergio Aguero gets picked in the sqad, I'd love to see more of him!

Obviously I enjoy watching them fall at the last hurdle. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think he's only there because Maxi Rodríguez spent alot of the season injured.

Does anybody know if Higuain can play for Argentina yet? I heard he was applying for citizenship, but I dunno how long that takes.

Starts today with:

Uruguay vs Peru

Venezuela vs Bolivia

[kurtsimonw]

Peru lead Uruguay at half time, 1-0. Not sure if it's been any good though, I was at work.

I'm watching it. Peru are playing surprisingly well. So far (60th minute or so), Uruguay are utter shite. It's been a pretty decent game. Peru had a second goal disallowed in the first half, btw.

USA has a VERY VERY VERY young squad at the tournament. Our team has gotten to a crossroads where a lot of the veterans are slowly falling off and a new group of youngsters are coming through. our coach decided to leave a lot of the veterans in the states and let the young guys go to a hostile environment. a lot of these guys have only a couple of caps under their belts. this is going to be a great chance for our young talent to see what it's like in an extremely hostile environment.

i may be going back too far, but the last time we were in this tournament we beat Brazil (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

our first game is against argentina (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

if we make it out of the group stage i'll be ecstatic
if we, somehow, win the whole thing...i will die

You're probably in the toughest group of all, there is no weak team. I'm sure a top 3 finish will be enough to get you a 'best third placed tea' position in the QFs though.

My understanding is that the US coach had to rotate the call-ups between the Gold Cup and the Copa America, since MLS is in the middle of its season. The Gold Cup, being the CONCACAF tournament, got the priority. So yeah, some of the names you would normally expect to see won't be there. (However, I'll be interested to see how the two DC United guys do. They're my local team.)

Well, Roque Santa Cruz has scored twice so far to put Paraguay ahead of Colombia (48th min). Not the most thrilling of games, thus far.

Edit: Make that three goals for Santa Cruz. And yet another from Paraguay just now (85th minute). Er. And another in the 87th. Poor Colombia. DULL game.

From yesterday match... Robinho >>> Brazil squad. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well, without Kaka' and Ronaldinho... Robinho is the best foward/SS/LW they have. So it's not big news.

Hot d*mn. USA 1 - Argies 0. Eddie Johnson on a penalty.

USA lead. 1-0 penalty. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I think they should be docked points for wearing such an ugly shirt. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Well, that didn't last long. Crespo scores in the 11th to equalize. The new haircut looks good.

[Warchant]

Well. Is this the Copa of upsets? The US - minus a number of regular starters - are holding a full-strength Argentina to a draw at halftime. I don't really follow the MLS much and know very little about the US national team, but so far tonight I've been very happily surprised by their performance.

[Darunia]

Argentina starting to play better, Veron hitting crossbar then Crespo close.

All things considered, it wasn't a bad performance by the US team.

This is definitely not Brazil's tournament. Fred broke his foot in training and is out.

That's the last time they snub Kurtinho. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Bolivia-Uruguay is turning into a kicking match. The ref is horrible and has pretty much lost control. 0-0 in the 57th.

EDIT: Uruguay finally scored a goal. Sanchez in the 59th.

This thread is cursed, as soon as somebody says something, there's a goal. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Uruguay 1-0 Bolivia. Vicente Sanchez with the goal.

[whoarethepatriot...]

Fred and Cris as the most unimpressive Brazilian names ever

They sound like their from Grimsby more than Rio

[kurtsimonw]

Uruguay owe Carini, big time.

Uruguay 1-0 Bolivia FT
