Brazil big favourites imo but we will see, there are always surprises in this tournament after a long season.

This tournament is not an easy one for any favoured team, yes Brazil is the one that seem so but upset is so rampant here. I can't put my bet on any yet. Chile as the defending champions won't be an easy ride.

If Argentina and Brazil really involved in this tournament with young players then we won't see regular players such as Messi playing however these two teams always be the favourite although lately the champion of this tournament belongs to usual teams such as Chille

This is biggest event of summer, so I'm probably going to watch Copa America. But probably match times will be not very convenient for us in Europe to watch :/
Brazil and Argentina are favorites as always, but in few recent cups none of these teams weren't able to win. Offcourse, there are more teams which have good chances to win - Colombia, Uruguay. I'm going support Uruguay.
It will be a bit strange to watch Japan and Qatar fighting for Copa America trophy. Qatar surprisingly won Asian Cup, but it will be interesting how they will perform against teams like Argentina and Colombia.

Have you at least looked at squads. Both teams will play with all their biggest stars.

[Harkorede]

This might be Messi's last shot of winning a trophy for his national side at senior level, I'll be supporting Argentina all through the tournament solely because of Messi, I really do hope he can finally break the jinx that comes with playing with Argentina. And after such a stellar and decorated career so far, a trophy with the national team is the least of what Messi deserves.

[Tipstar]

It's the fifth time Brazil is hosting the Copa America and on all the previous four occasions, guess who was the winner? Brazil
Brazil has an impressive 100% win record for Copa America when hosted on their own soil. Though every records are breakable, Brazil would be the favourite to start with.

I have the same opinion and I'm all in on Argentina for winning the Copa America 2019. After another disaster suffered in Champions League, Messi should be eager to get this trophy especially after what happened last time Argentina reached the final with Messi missing a penalty that could have potentially be the winning goal. Again, we have to keep in mind that Messi is not the whole time and he can't do everything alone so I hope his teammates will work as hard as him to lead Argentina into the final again.

Good to see the topic. After the EPL and the only match left for CL, I was thinking my days will be going boring. Now, I can not wait to see the tournament to start.

I am going with Brasil. 🙂

Anyone considering a pool?

[Harkorede]

Anyone considering a pool?

I'm definitely in,  If there's anyone willing to create one.

The only problem would be getting about enough participants, not too many people seem to be interested in the Copa America.

Brazil and Argentina are favorites as always

Do you think Argentina, with an inexperienced manager (this is actually his first job as a football manager...crazy), and a bunch of newcomers in the squad, are actually favorites? Honestly, I'll be surprise if they make it to the knockout stages, their recent performances have been awful, with and without Messi.

The only problem would be getting about enough participants, not too many people seem to be interested in the Copa America.

There's hype surrounding the Champions league and europa league finals...After that, people will focus on the next big tournament, which will be the UEFA Nations League finals, and then a week later, the Copa America. We should wait after the Nations League is over to see if there's enough people to create a pool 

[Gozie51]

This is true, messi has not got his hand on such even world cup for the Argentine side. He has been doing his best to lift them during his time but none yet.

Me too will be in.

By the way, if there are enough votes say may be minimum 10 then we can do it in superbru. We can decide an entry fee for the pool and find an escrow as well. Lets see the interest then?

Please comment with the expected entry fee and escrow you will like.

Will messi play in argentina? İf yes, my big favourite country is argentina. Messi is the best in my opinion.

Yes Messi is playing. Here

It's kind of strange that Messi can not perform well (fails to fill up expectation) with his national team but he is a dangerous player in his club.

Brazil and Argentina will always be the favorite in the Copa América tournament, Uruguay cut also end up as the winner of this years Copa América tournament.

Mine all time favorite teams for Copa America are Brazil and Argentina. This will be a biggest event for this year.

I would suggest OP to include the Copa America Matches schedules too so no one misses to watch his favorite team match.

[mich]

With Copa being in Brazil it is only likely that Brazil will be heavy favorites to win the Cup.
2019 AFC Asian Cup I won some nice money on Japan so if they are in good form I will be backing them during this Copa.

[Cacingkemi]

If viewed statistics for Brasil Argentina and Chile they have the potential to become Winner, but I hope that in this competition there will be a team is unseeded be able to provide better resistance so that the competition becomes more interesting.

Yes it's interesting if there is a pool created for this tournament, maybe someone who is habitual to managing a pool is willing for this tournament. The Copa America is a tournament that is not easy to predict with an underdog team that might surprise and I think this will be an interesting a pool and I'm ready to wait.
