Starts a week later than the Euros but after that it's completely simultaneous. Quarters, semis and final all on the same days. In the group stages on some days there are 6 games a day between the two tournaments ![(lol)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/lvpvZ64EmrkLcuVniUmo.gif) edit: it's also the biggest Copa America ever, with 6 extra teams on top of the 10 CONMEBOL nations. The six "invitees" being USA (hosts), Canada, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Panama and Mexico

Who are the favourites? Who’s showing it in the UK? Brazil and Arg of course, but Colombia are dark horses, they're unbeaten in about 25 games or something, and whupped USA in a friendly the other night. Bielsa will of course make URU an interesting watch.

Copa America is being played in the US. A warm up for the world cup I guess.
This just emphasizes that the US Eastern time zone is the best time zone on earth for watching sport.

I know some venues are out of town and will charge $100odd to park there. And concessions inside will be ridiculously expensive. If I got the chance to go I'd go to Atlanta / Vegas. Both of these you can walk from downtown.

I guess if you are talking about it being expensive then yes it is, and always will be horrendous in the US (and many other places). But the games, stadiums and most infrastructure to get to them are excellent.

Not if you want to watch the Euros and the Olympics this year it isn't. The Euro's kick off at 9am, midday and 3pm. Can't get better than that! And the Olympics will be on from 6am until around 7pm I guess... again, perfect!

Starts tonight, Argentina v Canada the opening game in Atlanta. Jesse Marsch is now the coach of Canada, couldn't be a tougher start for him. No Stoke City players in this tournament either as Daniel Johnson was dropped from Jamaica's squad after playing in two world cup qualifiers earlier this month.

I don't rate Marsch at all but I hope I'm proved wrong.

Canada really put the wind up ARG in that first half, had some great chances. Arge did too though. Open game

ARG weathered the storm and win 2-0, Messi missing good chances but playing a delightful little through-ball for the 2nd

Frenetic first half, Peru kicking lumps out of CHI. Stadium full of PER fans. Chile well on top but lacking composure, Alexis missed 2 very good chances. Shit ref but can see a sending-off coming
