Default 2024 Copa América

The CONMEBOL Copa América is the continental championship for South American men's national soccer teams. Contested on a somewhat irregular basis, this year's edition will be hosted by the United States. Since there are only 10 members of CONMEBOL, 6 members of CONCACAF (the North American confederation) were invited to fill out the 16-team field. Argentina is the defending champion, after defeating Brazil, 1-0, in the 2021 edition. The winner will play the champion of Euro 2024 in the CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions next year.

This contest is part of the 2023-24 Legion Cup. It also allocates points toward the Global and Football/Soccer Cups. The winner will also receive 2 slot-equivalents as a prize.

The 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups of 4 teams each. The top-2 teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals. It then proceeds as a usual knockout tournament. The point structure will be 1-1-2-4.

Here are the groups for the group stage. You will pick the top-2 teams for 1 point each.

Group A:
  • Argentina
  • Peru
  • Chile
  • Canada

Group B:
  • Mexico
  • Ecuador
  • Venezuela
  • Jamaica

Group C:
  • United States
  • Uruguay
  • Panama
  • Bolivia

Group D:
  • Brazil
  • Colombia
  • Paraguay
  • Costa Rica

Here are the group start times:
  1. June 20, 7 PM
  2. June 22, 5 PM
  3. June 23, 5 PM
  4. June 24, 5 PM

Good luck!

The group stage concluded yesterday. Here are the advancing teams:

Group A:
  • Argentina
  • Canada

Group B:
  • Venezuela
  • Ecuador

Group C:
  • Uruguay
  • Panama

Group D:
  • Colombia
  • Brazil

Of note, only two North American teams made the cut, and neither was the United States or Mexico. That's 2 points dropped by everyone, so no net loss there.

Here is how everyone did with all of their picks:
