Cam tot ce trebuie sa stim despre Copa America

      Intr-o perioada de pauza competitionala, in care microbistii de obicei se plictisesc, fotbalul din America de Sud ne va mai umple putin zilele, iar incepand de joi noaptea vom putea vedea pe micile ecrane Copa America, transmisa in Romania de DigiSport.

      Copa Amercia este cea mai veche competitie continentala din lume, prima editie dispuntandu-se in 1916, luand parte doar 4 echipe; Argentina, Uruguay, Brazilia si Chile. Acel turneu s-a desfasurat in sistem grupa, iar ocupanta locului 1 la final urma sa intre in posesia trofeului, castigatoare fiind nationala Uruguay-ului. De altfel Urugauy detine recordul trofeelor castigate, 15, urmata de Argentina cu 14 si Brazilia 8. Tot nationala Uruguay-ului este si detinatoarea trofeului, castigand ultima editie, cea din 2011 disputata in Argentina, dupa finala cu Paraguay scor 3-0.
      Ca in fiecare data favoritele pot fi considerate Brazilia si Argentina, insa nationala Columbiei poate avea un cuvant greu de spus in aceasta editie, actuala generatie fiind una de exceptie cu jucatori de certa valoare, amintindu-i aici pe Bacca, Rodriguez, Falcao, Cuadrado sau Martinez. Competitia va debuta pe data de 11 iunie, iar finala se va disputa 4 iulie. Marele absent al turneului este uruguayanul Luis Suarez, atacantul Barcelonei fiind suspendat in urma incidentului de la mondialul din Brazilia.
