The 2024 Copa America is in full swing in the United States, as the “Summer of Soccer” treats fans around the globe to some of the most iconic international rivalries of the beautiful game.
Being played simultaneously alongside Euro 2024, the Copa America takes flight in the US, with several CONCACAF nations guest participants in South America’s continental championship tournament, including hosts USA.
They will look to challenge the best CONMEBOL has to offer, including defending Copa America and World Cup champions Argentina, ranked No. 1 in the world and led by legendary forward Lionel Messi.
Their arch nemesis, Brazil, hope to dethrone the Albiceleste, while Uruguay and Colombia came into the tournament in great form.

Brazil may have opened their Copa America with a stalemate against Costa Rica but Dorival Junior made changes for the second game vs. Paraguay and they looked much better going forward.
Savio was the main difference, as his trickery created multiple chances and saw him on the scoresheet. Those chances also fell kindly to Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, who bagged a brace.
Had Brazil not been so dominant in that match, this prediction would be vastly different as Colombia are in remarkable form. They’re unbeaten since the 2022 World Cup. But with Brazil needing a win to secure top spot, it’s hard to go against Selecao.

This one looks likely to be a shootout for pride, but there is still a slim chance that Costa Rica could spring a shock and knock Brazil out, if the Selecao are beaten heavily by Colombia and Los Ticos can somehow do the same to Paraguay. The table suggests that Paraguay are there for the taking, but we are expecting this one to be tight. The head-to-head matchups between these sides read three games won each, and three draws. Two of those draws have come in the last two meetings, and they were both 0-0.

Understandably, FIFA’s top-ranked side Argentina — defending Copa America champions and fresh off a World Cup crown — were the strong favorites to win this year’s competition as the tournament got under way.
Brazil were right there as second-favorites, but that’s largely on brand recognition as they enter the competition in significant turmoil and without injured talisman Neymar. The in-form South American sides are Uruguay and Colombia, while hosts USA are amongst the second tier of title contenders but still have to prove their worth.
