More Football Tournament Action
By from July 10, 2004
Although it may not be as recognized as Euro2004, The South-/Central American tournament is now underway in Peru. Copa America contains 12 teams, including multiple-World Cup-winners Brazil.
Columbia leads Group A (Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela), Argentina leads Group B (Uruguay, Mexico, Ecuador) and Brazil leads Group C (Paraguay, Costa Rica, Chile). There are still 10 matches to go in group action, so those standings may change before the elimination rounds.

Yes! Thanks for mentioning this tournament Curt. Steve and I were talking about how much more publicity the Euros get, when there are awesome other continental tourneys. Copa America!
BTW--I'll be checking out the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup next weekn when the San Jose Earthquakes play the Portland Timbers at PGE Park. I'm pumped!
