America's Cup starts tomorrow

Tomorrow begins the Copa America, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world selections. 12 American teams meet to play this competition. Then I'll tell you everything you need to know about this Cup preview.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay are the 12 teams contesting this tournament played in Argentina. They are divided into three groups of four teams each:

Group A: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia and Costa Rica.

Group B: Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela and Ecuador.

Group C: Chile, Uruguay, Mexico and Peru.

The major candidates are the usual: Brazil (which comes from winning the last two editions) and Argentina (which comes from being a finalist in the last two editions and has the homecourt for). However it is noteworthy that not far behind in time is the fourth World Cup in Uruguay and obtained by the good performance of Chile and Paraguay in the tournament.

The other teams seem to get at a disadvantage, especially Mexico, which comes with lots of youth (the coaching staff to 8 players split the team concentrated on a scandal with prostitutes).

The opening match will be tomorrow: Argentina will face Bolivia to 21:45 (local time).
