COPA AMERICA discussion

This COPA America is just an underdog cup after looking at the result of many matches.
I lost some btc betting on Brazil winning. Looks like every team has a chance to win the cup from past results.

An underdog cup? Argentina are the losing finalists of the last World Cup, technically they're the second best international team in the world based on that. Brazil are always there or thereabouts in every tournament they enter. Colombia reached the 1/4 final of the last world cup & Uruguay are a good team.
There are some crap teams like Jamaica in the Copa America but the teams I listed above are not under dogs.

Oh my god, somehow I didn't realize this had already started.  I'm catching up now---hope some games are still left to watch.  How far in are we?  Past group stage yet?  Any invitations from North America?

It is still in the group stage, and all teams have just one more game to play except Peru and Venezuela.
Mexico and Jamaica are invited to play this year.

Mexico and Jamaica are concacaf teams (see post above yours).  Thanks guys!  Now to find streaming options and maybe place a few bets on directbet.eu.  What are you guys wagering on?

What are you guys wagering on?

Seriously it is very hard to predict the winner of the match. People lost alot for the Brazil vs Colombia match , including me, I bet No one expected that Colombia will win without Brazil even scoring any goal at all. The odds for Brazil was like 1.7 but for Colombia it is over 4x. I should have listen to my guts to bet on Colombia +2 , too bad indeed

My advice would be not to wager anything at this groups stage for now, much better later on after we past the group stage

I lost my bet, I thought Brazil would win even though it was a small bet.
The game was very bad after the Brazilian selection take the first goal was very discouraged. The situation was complicated, in addition to losing the best player of the selection have to win Venezuela

I lost with Brazil - Colombia match.

Any opinion about Peru - Venezuela ? I don't want to loose another time.

I think the selection of Peru better than Venezuela, in this game I bet on a win Peru

What you think about the car accident of Arturo Vidal? Have Chilean federation done well keeping him in team? A serious player couldn't drive drunk and he was also with his family. For me Chilean federation took a wrong decision.

Btw for me Perù-Venezuela will end with a draw

He was definitely driving under the influence of alcohol, unsure if he was drunk but it's definitely illegal. He's had his licence taken off him but is allowed to continue playing. I suppose if it's not an offence bad enough to incur a prison sentence then I don't see why he can't play.
He's an idiot especially considering he had his family with him, I suppose Chile will hope he plays really well & they go far to justify his continued presence in the squad.

Here's a pic of the car, it's smashed up pretty bad -

Thanks for the info. I will not bet on this match, i don't have any favourite.

[brendanjhwu]

I think the host country Chile will win the cup this time around.

Unless it comes down to penalty shots

copa america is being more complicated year by year
so many surprises and nothing going as expected
I think you should save your money till another event , every big team is coming with surprises and specially Brazil
for me I gave it up after Argentina vs Paraguay , it was really unexpected results after the first half
and the cameras showed messi and Dimaria making fun jokes about their coach when he told them that even if Argentina is leading by two goals the game still hard
and the coach was right  Paraguay scored two goals in the second half and Argentina wasted two precious points

The big match is tomorrow to Uruguay-Paraguay. for me, if Uruguay win, have more change to return in game to winning a cup, because i don't see a really favourite team

did you know, whether Louis Suarez plays?

[Cearea11]

Suarez won't play. On this match bet on X. With a draw both teams will go to quarter-finals if Argentina win.

Why X ? i think Uruguay has an awesome chance to win this match,the odd is 2.05 i think that is like a present for gamblers
Draw wont be for sure!!! For me this is an easy win predicted for Uruguay!!!

Still serving an international ban for biting Chiellini at last summers world cup.

It hard for me to pick champion or prediction for Copa America 2015.. All the team have they best youngest and they senior ro play.. I think It will come more unpredictable game after venezuela beat Colombia in the 1st game where colombia before game was predicted can easily beat venezuela..

But after review from a few match i predict for Final game were :

Chile  vs  Brazil/Argentina.. And for the champion i must look again a few match before Final..

Thats all...
