you say this like it's a regular thing for them to play in California. Have they ever??

Argentina and Chile should easily advance from the group stage. By then, Chile could get back into a rhythm. Lots of injuries lately. Do you know of anyone besides Charles Aranguiz that will not be available for this tournament?


CA is clearly Copa America, where they play is just a mere coincidence

Apparently Marcelo Diaz is getting back into shape, Jara also coming back from injury soon, if someone 100% misses it by an injury? nope... yet, most of the guys missing will be due to coach decision, which is kinda concerning since we don't know exactly what his plan is in terms of call ups

my mistake. I saw that Chile and Argentina are playing in Santa Clara, CA on Monday June 6, so that is why I was thinking California instead of Copa America. My error.

With Aranguiz still out they really need Diaz to be back to form. Valdivia was very erratic in the last matches in November, and Fernandez looked out of sorts also.

In fact, when mentioned some guys dropping out, would say Valdivia is the biggest name that won't be called anymore.

The 4 game suspension, along with his poor form, the quality of his league, age and considering Sampaoli was a big reason why he was on the team... tells me his period with the NT is over.

Vidal with a suspension himself, Diaz back from injury and who knows if Aranguiz can even make it, we have problems when it comes to midfielders for the next match vs Argentina & Venezuela and since we're not in a good spot for the Russia qualifiers, it really feels like Chile will use this Copa America to adapt to what the coach wants.

Going past the group stage shouldn't be a big deal, but don't like our odds in a potential QF matchup versus Mexico or Uruguay.

Who are the call ups going to be? that's another exciting(for me) element for this...

Would the countries go hard and bring out their best/big guns? or stay true to most patterns?

For this, I believe we're going to see some big stars and top talent....

very proud and excited to see....

is anyone going to any of these games? I would like to see a game in Orlando, but the only option I am seeing for now is a venue pack which forces you to purchase all 3 games.

individual game tickets are not available through ticketmaster, so you have to go through re-sellers. They ticket prices are through the roof on Stubhub and other outlets. They really screwed this up. I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of empty stadiums on TV this summer. You would think that as much hassle as they went through to actually get the COPA here, that they would have had a logical plan for ticketing.

Not a lot of talk here on this, but I've got tickets for the opener. I'll be wearing a USA jersey while my Colombian wife is rocking her country's

enjoy yourself. I'm so jealous.
There will be lots of world class players on the field for that game. Expecting it to be one of the better matches of the entire tournament.

Thinking about June 6 since there will be no NBA Finals that day.

Too bad it happens in a country that doesnt care about the sport.
Compare this opening with the Euro Cup soon, and see the big mistake of choosing USA as host country.

Not watching the game, but how are we playing?
