Brazil against all: the most unpredictable Copa América starts

Finally, after many twists and turns, the Cup America I know will play. Y it will not be played in Colombia Y Argentina, as stipulated in the year 2020 before suspension for the pandemic. First they went down to Colombia due to the political and social outbreak that was lived in the coffee country. Afterwards it seemed that Argentina became strong and asked to do the America Cup full, including its president Alberto Fernandez gave rise to it. But the pressure of the people and, above all, politics (both from the opposition and from his own government), made Argentina will decline to hold the contest just two weeks before the start due to the large number of infected and deceased by the coronavirus pandemic.

At that moment, Conmebol He had to make a decision. All the federations met and no one seemed to take charge of the situation (Chile was about), until a call to Bolsonaro from the CBF unlocked everything: “Yes, Brazil will host the Copa América.” The president of the Rio de Janeiro country took advantage of the tumult and made Cup, just like in the year 2019. Another political measure.

In the middle, the protagonists. Some raised their voices, others preferred not to. The federations (which had already received an advance for the Cup America) did not object either. Y Bolsonaro He found his rival at home: Tite and his team were against the holding of the oldest tournament at the world national team level due to the health situation in the country. But, once again, they didn't go to the end. And the Cup America it will be played in Brazil.

In the strictly sports, Brazil is the favorite (and now playing local, despite not being able to attend public, more). Argentina will try to cut a streak of 28 years without Copa América and Colombia, Uruguay, Ecuador or Chile They will try to surprise.

The Selection from Tite and of Scaloni they are the favorite maxims, but for different reasons. While the local is already armed, knows what it plays and has solutions in all the lines, the albiceleste is forming a process that has to begin to bear fruit and that also has Messi in their last continental competition. The still Barcelona player has an outstanding debt with the national team and in Argentina public opinion is already (almost) completely in favor of '10'.

Luis Suárez, Cavani, Godín and Muslera, guided by TabárezThey will be the standard bearers of the new breed of Uruguayans that has been stomping and always leaves everything on the field. Alfaro Y Berizzo, two Argentines, they will try to Ecuador and Paraguay come back to compete. Colombia, with a great generation, wants victory. And Chile will once again be a benchmark.

Therefore, the Cup America Will play. Many will say that it should not have been played and they will be right, but it is also true that the Conmebol wants your selections to reach Qatar 2022 with filming, and not playing such an important competition would have given the European teams a great advantage. The “show” continues.
