The likes of Messi, Tevez, Higuain and Milito make up the strong Argentina squad who are favourites to be Champions. The squad will be familiar to fans of the top leagues across Europe, only 1 player in the team plays outside of Europe and the majority plying their trade in England, Italy and Spain.

About Copa America

The Copa America tournament consists of 12 teams that are separated in three groups of four. The Latin America federation has 10 football sides, thus there are two teams outside Latin America that participate by invitation. This year those two teams are Mexico and Costa Rica.

Top two from each group are progressing to the next stage. The best teams that finish third from each group are progressing as well so we have the Quarter Finals.

Brazil have dominated Copa America in recent years, winning an incredible 4 of the last played, the last 2 of which were won by beating Argentina in the final! Brazil are second favourites to win Copa America 2011! The 8 time champions also boast an impressive line-up with Robinho, Pato, Ramires and Alves all called up to participate. They will be eager to not only beat their South American rivals on home turf but also to become the first team since Argentina in 1945, 1946 and 1947 to “three-peat”.

With 12 teams taking part in total, it is of course not only about the big two and betting on Copa America is going to be as exciting and unpredictable as always. Uruguay also have a fantastic history in the tournament with 14 titles over the years – the same as Argentina. They last won in 1995 beating Brazil in the final on penalties.
