The Copa América in Brazil is well underway and we are now in to the second round of group stage action. With powerhouse squads like Brazil, Colombia and Chile the goals nor the play have disappointed. The early favourites are definitely looking like the host country Brazil, as well as Uruguay coming off of a big 4 – 0 victory against Ecuador. Argentina, normally a powerhouse, are experiencing some unusual scoring issues, sitting on a 2 – 0 loss to Colombia, and a 1 – 1 tie to neighbour country, Paraguay. The action continues today with Uruguay vs. Japan at 7pm EST, and continues with the group stages through June 24th.
