Previewing the Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 candidates – Analysing group A: Special Feature (Part 1)
Let’s take a look at the teams in the Copa America competition which is set to kick off on 1st of July, 2010. Teams from Central America and South America will step it up in Argentina when Lionel Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 take the field. Let’s take a look at group A and see which team has the best chance of qualifying to the knockout stages of the tournament...
Argentina
The most successful team in Copa America history host the competition this time around and it won’t be surprising to see them win the tournament considering that they are the favourites to win it in the first place. Led by the genius of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, Argentina have a great chance of making it to the knock out stages of 2011 Copa America. They have the home ground advantage and the best player in the world in their side. Moreover, Argentina’s squad for the Copa America is probably the most comprehensive one out of all the big guns in the tournament.

Furthermore, the Lionel Messi factor might come into play here. The little Argentine has been compared to Maradona due to their similar style of play but the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 forward has been criticized in the past for not achieving enough with the Argentinean international team. Additionally, Messi failed to fire on all fronts in the FIFA World Cup which adds a bit more fuel to the fire given that the competition is taking place on Argentinean turf this time around.
Other than Messi, Argentina will also look towards Sergio Aguero for inspiration. Maradona’s son in law might not start every match of the competition for Argentina but he has the capacity to be an impactful substitute if called upon by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Batista-c7379. The Atletico Madrid striker has already hinted that his future lies away from the Madrid club thus stellar performances in the Copa America will only add to his price tag as well as his chasers.
