Copa America Kicks Off In Venezuela
The 42nd edition of the Copa America kicks off in Venezuela with high expectations after the host invest millions on new infrastructures, especially three new stadiums built for this event.
And with that, fans would certainly want to see the likes of Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Robinho and Diego Forlan, and their silky skills, a trademark of the South American style of play.
The favourites will be Argentina, with a full strength squad are surely the team to beat. They have a solid defence and forward players like Carlos Tevez, Riquelme and Milito are in great forms. Watch out for some all out attacking football and incisive passing manoeuvres.
But of course, you can never write off the Brazilians, even without Kaka and Ronaldinho, they still have enough resources to win this tournament. All eyes will be on Robinho and Alfonso Alves and expect the usual Brazilian flair.
Other smaller nations must not be taken for granted. Mexico and Paraguay may spring some surprises and there are bound to be some upsets. This is a tournament that you won’t wanna miss.
