    Considering the way they have structured the groups for next year's Copa America, it is a little strange. Having 2 groups of 6 teams with the top 4 teams advancing to the quarterfinals...it is a little weird

    But that being said seeing the 2 groups of 6 teams

    Group A

    Argentina (co host)
    Australia (invitee)
    Bolivia
    Uruguay
    Chile
    Paraguay


    Group B

    Colombia (co host)
    Brazil
    Peru
    Qatar (invitee)
    Ecuador
    Venezuela


    Who do you think will be the 4 teams that advance from each group?

    Considering we are less than a year away from Copa America, which team do you guys see it winning it all? Which player will be the best young player to make their arrival on the world stage by shining the brightest? Which player do you see as Copa America top scorer?

    My pick to win Copa 21 will be one of the co hosts, Argentina

    Best young player that I see making their arrival on the world stage, by stealing the show at Copa America 2021 will be: Vinicius Junior of Brazil

    Now as far as who will be Copa America top scorer, I see it being: Lionel Messi of Argentina

    I expect Colombia to make a deep run because they will have home-field advantage throughout.

    Chile has won how many Copas in the past few years? Chile is an aging team now but they also have young talent too coming in...which should make them a favorite or at least a dark horse.

    Conmebol is short of World Cup qualifier weekends. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2021 Copa América is postponed.

    They also postponed African Cup of Nations until 2022 so I wonder if Copa gets postponed to 2023 and the 2023 Copa America gets postponed to 2024 or 2025

    There is no 2023.

    The next Copa America after the postponed one will be Copa America 2024, followed by CA 2028

    Assuming they do resume CONMEBOL qualification in October as planned I think Copa America 2021 will be played as scheduled. Now if those October and November matches don't happen something has to give and it would either have to be the Copa America or the qualification process.

    October 2020 Matchdays 1-2
    November 2020 Matchdays 3-4
    March 2021 Matchdays 5-6
    June 2021 Matchdays 7-8
    June/July 2021 Copa America
    September 2021 Matchdays 9-10
    October 2021 Matchdays 11-12
    November 2021 Matchdays 13-14
    January 2022 Matchdays 15-16
    March 2022 Matchdays 17-18
    June 2022 Intercontinental Playoffs

    Thread bump!

    Conmebol's World Cup qualifiers week in March has been postponed because European clubs would refuse to release players.

    They say that the Copa América won't change dates. But there's not enough dates for the qualifiers.

    My guess is they'll go from 2 to 3 matches in certain windows like CONCACAF and UEFA are doing to get all the matches they need to in.

    #CopaAmérica in USA picking up momentum:
    Pandemic crisis in Argentina with both health and soccer officials saying either move or suspend the tournament.
    Conmebol has begun to consider USA as an option.

    I honestly would love it if Copa America was in the USA but wouldn't that interfere with Gold Cup 2021

    COVID up throughout South America, including Argentina, which now has more daily cases than the USA despite less than 1/7th the population. Uruguay now is averaging more cases and deaths per capita on a daily basis than the USA was at the height of the pandemic here.

    The unexpected news: The CDC and State Department issuing warnings against travel to Japan for the Olympics, even for people who are vaccinated. Per a CDC statement: "Travelers should avoid all travel to Japan. Because of the current situation in Japan even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants and should avoid all travel to Japan." The current case and death rates in Japan are about half that of the USA.
