alrightttt!! place your bets please

braaazillll

either uruguay or brazil

argentina has been so poor

having said that ,its very difficult to say for sure who will win
unlike world cup, u still have a fair odds on who is favorites
all the teams in copa america, seems fairly strong
the underdogs all also kuat
watch them play against one another during friendlies and such
ull nv have a 1 sided scoreline,
always different and unpredictable

one thing is for sure, its best to avoid betting in this sort of tournament
for sure heart attack,

uruguay!

the most i like about this tournament, every games had potential to be an exciting /open game /attacking game. even game between 2 poorest participants. Euro are superior tournament, but numbers of games will be tight /dull /defensive.

the most i hate about it, the games will be in morning (not checking the Astro yet, but i assume between 5am -9am). i love it when im still in Uni, not now..

Chile.

Not the tournament favorite to lift the cup but i think they are the tournament dark-horse. Argentina @ Brazil @ Uruguay better watch out

I root for Uruguay. They overachieved in the World Cup. Surely there should be a trinkle effect on this competition.

Too bad no Japan, if Brazil don't improve on current results, I don't think they can go far.

I think this will be the best time for messi to achieve something in country level which argentina have yet to achieve so far.

BRASIL!!!

Argentina

looking at all of the 3 groups. Argentina seems like have no problem in clinching top spot, while Brazil group a bit tricky, with both Paraguay & Ecuador but Venezuela can't be underestimated still, though

Group 3 clearly the group of death. Any team in this group can beat each other at any day. But i reckon Uruguay & Chile to advance @ fight for the top spot

BRAZIL!!

vamos argentina

uruguay,brazil and argy.

and lol at invite team they should invite malaysia too

money in liau.

uruguay to win the tourny.

Malaysia The Argies...

Brazil or argentina

brazil..cz pato is set to shine

brasil, argentina or uruguay. and chile..( coz ada alexis sanchez..hehe)

Will the matches be shown live?

in HD

Yo aressandro

So the first match is at 9.45 today? Argentina vs Bolivia

boring even messi tevez n the gang still cannot crack the bolivian wall

Because play so many years d .. So know each other well ...

Bolivia 1

Kun scored

haha 1-1 what a shock indeed 4 hoster

Ya consider argentina has the world 2 most best strikers

poor performance by Messi & geng.. betul betul betul..

May be messi need apply to be Spanish players then sure get a lot nice passing from Xavi and iniesta.

I think argentina is the favourites this time. Then goes to brazil.

If Angentina continue to play like today, they will have no chance of winning the cup.....to me, brazil is the 1 to beat...

messi needs call xavi n inesta to come!!

hopefully brazil will played with top gear and good start of the competition is utmost important as defending champion ......

any fixture guys?
i got 1 but in metro paper

Check my thread bro..already posted up whole group fixtures

is chicharito playing? no?

dont think so..I think Mexico have sent an Olympic-aged squad

tonight midnight got game?

only watched Argentina's game half (1st half) yesterday. Messi is the spark of their lively attack. glad about the result (1-1)

im not the supporter of the 2 usual suspects (Brazil & Argentina).. hopefully the rest can step up and 1 of Chile, Uruguay or Ecuador can win it..

So far,

Argentine 1 Bolivia 1
Colombia 1 Costa Rica 0
Brazil 0 Venezuela 0

HT : Paraguay 0 Ecuador 0

Such a boring tournament thus far with not much scoring games..

The brazil team totally a new 1 ... Needs more time ...

Such disappointing with argentina performance.....It seems like the coach still couldn't find the right balanced of the team....Every1 over relying on messi alone..tevez is the most disappointing....I hope the coach will do something about the formation in the second game...

for me, as always I prefer aguero more than tevez and also dimaria in the starting line up.....while I still wonder when will the coach start using pastore in midfield....they need him as a playmaker in midfield so that messi dun need always to drop deep to collect the ball......

Ya I also wonder about Pastore. I think Banega's role during last match is more suited to Pastore. But Batista has tried Pastore in his tactic before during friendlies right? Did he perform any better than what Banega showed?

Chile vs Mexico should be entertaining

Go Isla

Uruguay & Peru match ended in a stalemate... i see another draw coming when Mexico meet Chile

(The coach did affirm that he talked to Barcelona phenomenon Messi after the game, and counselled him that he had to stay further up the pitch in order to perform his centre-forward role. "I was seeing Lionel the wrong side of the halfway line, and that cannot happen. He has to play in the last quarter of the pitch, there cannot be midfielders ahead of Messi," he admitted.)

source--> http://www.goal.com/en/news/585/argentina/...t-stay-up-front


It's unbelievable man!!
Batista is here for 1 year and it's only now tat he notices tat Messi comes too deep in midfield?!?LOL?
I thought Messi was doing tat on purpose and following Batista instructions??

Ok, so Batista knw that Messi must be in the last quarter of the pitch, but then HOW?!? If there is no ball supply, should he just stay static there?? If you notice the problem, Mr. Batista, why don't you provide him with the attacking midfielder we have in da team, i.e. Pastore? And then you said no midfielders should be ahead of Messi, then what was Cambiasso doing? He became our no 9 without your instruction?

I'm also disappointed that Aguero won't start the game. We'll stay with Tevez-Messi-Lavezzi. I dunno what contribution in the last game Tevez made for him to be included in the squad.yeah tevez is the most disappointing

Batista is out of his mind, lost and he doesn't know what he's doing !
and apparently we have a wonderful coach. Hilarious LOL!! -.-"

Mexico just play another competition before this right ? They beat US in the final

Their player must be exhausted

thats senior team, this one U23 team.. but still, same few players included, eg Dos Santos.

looking forward for tomorrow Argentina game, im not working tomorrow..

so far not so good. lack of goals..

bravo yepes stopped every messi's movement...haha

watched Argentina-Colombia.. good game, but no goal.. Colombia got numbers of clean cut chances, a big missing opportunity for them..

messi isnt that messiah without his barcelona teammates.. still a great player though

a MUST win game next for Argentina, to confirm qualifying to next stage..but i don't think Costa Rica will be an easy opponent to them..and the way they playing in the tournament was not helping either..

no goal fest lor this copa.. damn bored

Costa Rica beat 10 man Bolivia 2-0. Anyone can post the standing?

Hi champions,

Where can I watch Copa America 2011 live (or delayed telecast) over the internet? I don't have an Astro at home but I do have Unifi.

thanks,

haiyah can wiki mar whats the use of wiki if u dont ever use it at all

Colombia a favourites now too eh? hehe

young brazil draw against paraguay

can say not a bad result for brazil consider the team is still young

lucas, jadson, ramires, pato, neymar ... only robinho the most experience in the front line.

at first i thought arg or brazil..
but then i saw how the chilean play, they seriously want to win the tournament..and now im fancy them..

good luck chile

Argentina looks good..

There are holes in the Argentina defense which worry me. I think Uruguay will move forward. I predict Brazil and Uruguay in the final, and Brazil winning. But I would love to see Chile cause problems for Brazil

I thought Mexico could give some challenge but it seem winning Gold Cup is not a real benchmark for Mexico.

Arg-Uru cracking match in progress..

lulz...harsh for argies

Penalty=cruelty..both goalkeeper played extremely good during the 120 minutes

Muslera FTW!

One f the best penalty shootouts i have ever seen from Uruguay. Last 2spotkicks dasyatlo. No chance of saving tat kind of penalties. Under pressure sumore. I think the Uruguayans actually practiced penalty kicks before the match.

Like this Chile sure win, Argentina all shoot until damn weak, only Pastore shoot nice.

Serve Argie rights

Hopefully Chile in Final Copa

bye bye Messi....

Mascherano sent off was a joke......

Media are going to criticize Messi again despite he is the 1 who keep on creating chances for all the other player....

he is the best player in the world, no doubt.. but he still need a very good midfielders behind him.. its team game after all.. i love the result, never like Argentina much.. red card to Mascherano indeed harsh, but i never like him, so im OK with it..

they probably have bunch of very good midfielders, most with 20-50 mil GBP price tags. very promising, but failed to live up the hypes.

Chile vs Brazil will be nice final, but they probably meet in semi.. so im root Uruguay vs Chile.

hopefully will see brazil getting uruguay in the final it will be interesting classic final if it would be happen then

cheers.

Yup remembrance 1950.

Brazil lost penalty 0-2 against Paraguay

It seems their studs betray their legs because none of Brazil player manages to score

haha..full of suprises..even japan won women world cup..if Venezuela win..it completes 4 underdogs..

something fishy with Brazil today,why the hell suddenly all shootout either fly too high or too slow???

Not even a brazil standard at all....


ps:replay again the video,it looks so obvious they wanted to lose.....haihz.

venuezela is leading 2-1 chile

4 underdogs.. Uruguay are the most illustrious one.. this is nice..

ya brazilian famous in scoring penalty ... it means they are mentally stress at that moment ...

still a long way to go for this young team ...

chile va venezuala who won?

Venezuela won 2-1

Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay, Peru.... i think Uruguay are heavy favourite...but seeing the case of both Argentina & Brazil...anything can happen

Since Japan can end their fairytail with winning the women title....I can see Venezuela or Peru doing a fairytail here too.......

hopefully to see more suarez and forlan goals..

I lol'ed hard this Copa

I hope it will be Uruguay vs Paraguay

but not a surprise it will be Peru vs Venezuela

Something wrong with the pitch, like bump or something. You can see they're kicking the ground along with the ball, so much sand. Or Brazilian player purposely done that.

Uruguay for the title.. poor Argentina.. i think both Argentina and Brazil intend to lose this tournament.. :-(

i think both brazil and argentina has a lack of experience coach... uruguay should claim the cup

Uruguay beat Peru 2-0

2nd semi-final: paraguay beat venezuela 5-3 in penalty shoot-out.

if paraguay can hold uruguay for 120 minutes and defeat them in penalty shoot-out, maybe they will be the 1st team to win a title without winning even one game

any good streaming link for the final ??

Uruguay to win the final. Uruguay 2 Paraguay 1

Uruguay won 3-0. Forlan's brace and Suarez goal

It was nice to see Uruguay score goals like this! Forlan fired in the 2nd goal, I loved it!

jose pablo guererro is good player, he should be a silver ball awards
