Copa America 2011 begins with hosts Argentina taking on Bolivia on July 1, leaving us plenty of time to talk about all of the teams involved in the competition before they kick off the tournament. Brazil and Argentina are the most glamorous teams in the world and more or less joint favorites for this competition, but there are plenty of other teams deserving of some recognition.
Yes, we'll be covering Brazil and Argentina, but we'll also be covering the other 10 teams involved in the tournament. After their entertaining performances in World Cup qualifying and the 2010 World Cup itself, both Uruguay and Chile deserve equal time, and the likes of Colombia, Paraguay, and invitees Mexico shouldn't be left behind either.
In the build-up to the tournament, we'll have previews on all of the teams involved before Argentina and Bolivia kick off the tournament a week from Friday. The fun will start with Uruguay and finish with Brazil.
