    I'm not into Copa America this year because Mexico did not send its real squad (I do blame them for that though)...it sent its under 22 Olympic squad (Giovani Dos Santos was the only regular player from the real Tri)...so I lost interest. Having said that...Mexico deserves scorn for not giving it any effort...so they are the ones to blame...so I'm not attacking Copa America...just this particular Mexican team.

    Mexico also finished runner up twice there.

    BTW...did you know Mexico has a winning record against every single South American team except for Brazil and Argentina?


    Here...look for yourself...starting with Mexico vs Chile...

    Mexico vs Uruguay...

    Mexico vs Colombia...

    Mexico vs Paraguay...

    Mexico vs Peru...

    Mexico vs Bolivia...

    Mexico vs Ecuador...

    Mexico only has losing records against Brazil and Argentina:

      And either Brazil or Argentina will win it this year....no disrespect for Chile but I really don't think they can't beat either of them.

          I don't want to get too confident, but I feel pretty good about U.S. chances. The teams match up pretty well with good defenses and quick counters. I'm hopin gthe U.S. size and fitness will ultimately win the battles around the and in the box.

              Chile is the Cinderella team this year. Brazil is going to get ousted by Paraguay on Saturday they are not the same powerhouse they used to be As for Argentina ,they barely made it to the second round Uruguay is a much better team .they are gone on Saturday also.Chile will beat Venezuela to advance on Sunday the Red machine is strong

                Extremely sexist about preferring to watch nude female soccer players...if you ask me.

                    Luckily the women on this board are not reading this thread...I don't think they would like it much.

                    But then again...they don't seem to be supporting women's soccer here...so...who am I to take issue with this...I'm just a soccer fan.

                          Good luck. All I can go by really is having watched World Cup play and Chile, Paraguay, and Argentina all play USA men in friendlies. I know Paraguay beat the U.S. but it wasn't a thumping while Chile and Argentina played to a draw. Brazil may not be the team it used to be, but they figure out how to win which is why I give them an edge. Same with Argentina. They are both just juggernaut soccer nations that they seem to step up (just like all powerhouse teams do) when the tension increases.

                                Awesome game!!!

                                Gotta give credit to those gritty Japanese women...kudos to them...and a great feeling for them after the horrible tsumani experience.

                                But going to the penalties...I thought the USA was going to win for sure...they have better set-type kickers...and of course Hope Solo...but I think a couple of the players choked taking those kicks...and the Japanese goalie sure came up big...I was so impressed with her.

                                I'm sad for the USA...but I'm also happy for Japan.

                                Great World Cup...these ladies are awesome...
