The Copa América Centenario is coming to the US!

I guess this is still good to go?!!!!

very exciting!!!

do we know of the draw?

I hope to get some teams I favor around my area.

copa america in usa? that's odd. i guess olympics took the only other feasible country

Orlando will be a host city!!

anyone with an idea of when the draw will take place? 16 teams, four groups of 4... very exciting!!!!

I saw that. Soooo pumped!
FL couldn't have been shut out with Tampa/Orlando/Jacksonville in the final 24. I was hoping at least one of them would make the final 10.

They say each city should host at least 3 matches.

I have Metlife and Foxborough within reach... i'll take it...

Give me USA/COL/URU bloody hell!!!!!

hope teams don't take it serious , alexis at world cup 2014 , copa america 2015 , copa america 2016 , confederations 2017 , world cup 2018.. he may never get an actual preseason at Arsenal and will burn out.

Of course they take it seriously, they're playing for their countries. Alexis will be fine.

anyone get their tickets yet?
Maybe just me, but I find it backwards that they want to start selling tickets before even announcing the draws.
Draws will be decided 2/21 on Univision.

Yeah ill wait and see. Doubt they sell out quickly anyways

Yea, i'm like, why on earth will I buy tickets now not knowing who plays where or when....

not too smart on their end IMO...

unless its the championship spot or two semis ok I get that...

Some people want to secure tickets in their city regardless, but I wanna see who we get before shelling out any money

yea, no offense, i'm not exactly excited to watch a potential Honduras vs Bolivia around my area LOL...

Yeah, it's a crap move in my opinion to even try and sell the tickets this way. Unless your a fan of the 4 teams listed and assigned to a specific venue, then why would you buy the tickets. All it does now is give a chance for stubhub and other brokers to buy all the tickets and mark them up.

I'm waiting to see Chile play, and if they're not coming to Orlando then I'm not buying and Orlando tickets but instead will buy for the venue they are actually playing in.

Never seen something so backwards in my life. Who thought this up anyways?

I have a feeling Colombia is going to get the Orlando venue and you're going to be lucky to see your team in your local city.

As for me, Chile will likely be placed in the farthest venue from Orlando and I'll be incurring some hefty travel costs. Fingers crossed they end up in Orlando. As the defending champs, I'm not down with them being left off the marquee as one of the 4 named teams.

Saw Carlos Bacca with a nice finish the other night as Milan beat Intermilan 3-0

How you feel about Jorge Sampaoli leaving?

Dude, I'm devastated. The timing couldn't be worse. They are on the cusp of achieving greatness and now our leader is gone.
I am thankful for what he did, and very sad to see him go.
Some say that we will be fine, but I think this hurts very very much. The players loved playing for him. As a fan, I loved watching his strategy of always pressing.
I know nothing about the new coach at all.

Draw coming up in a 1/2 hour.
