They are favorites but they are certainly don't play the best football. In my opinion , Uruguay is currently playing the best football in Copa America by far and that is because of Bielsa and his total offensive football style that most likely will carry this Uruguay team until finals. 

Today , I could see Mexico winning but also we might have a surprise with Jamaica making a draw or even win against Venezuela.

I see Argentina as the favorite of this competition because they have being consistent since the beginning of the competition. I know that they will win their next match and I hope to see them in the finals. Their performance has being superb, but I cannot conclude that they will win the club because we might see another team that will surprise us.

Argentina is still my favorite to win am not supporting Canada and Portugal. Since they have come this close, I know they will reach the final. Look at their performance today you will observe that the players are really serious, and they have devoted their talent to the game.

What am I thinking? I just forget about Brazil. They are one of my favorites as well but this time around I would choose Argentina because they have better performance than Brazil.

You can expect Uruguay to score 3 goals, but then I expect Argentina to reply with 4 goals. Of course Uruguay is one of the favorites, but Argentina is more expected to defend its title. Argentina's performance so far has been very good, even without Messi Argentina can still play well without conceding and scoring several goals. Messi's presence in the squad will increase team spirit, of course victory can be expected even against any team.

The one thing that was most unpleasant in the Argentina vs Peru match was Leandro Paredes' failure whwn they get penalty. Leandro Paredes missed the chance when his shot hit the post, but Lautaro Martinez really proved his worth again. Lautaro Martinez is so far the top scorer in the Copa America with 4 goals in 3 matches. He has not missed scoring a goal in 3 consecutive matches.

Argentina has now proven that they deserve to remain the favorites to win the copa, Argentina who are the defending champions have of course proven their performance and consistency very well in order to maintain a positive trend, I personally also see that currently Argentina is indeed very worthy of being the favorite to win the Copa again in a row,  the squad owned by Argentina is currently a very perfect squad and is very ready to be able to defend the championship trophy because it does have even strength in each line.

At first I thought that Brazil and Argentina would be able to meet in the final match later, but seeing their current game like a roller coaster (inconsistent) actually made me doubt if Brazil would be able to pass the knockout phase and reach the final, although indeed the Brazilian squad is filled with young and talented players, but I actually see the absence of a strong mentality from these players when playing in international matches like today, a lot of senior players don't get a place in the Brazil squad at the moment and I think Brazil are starting to try to regenerate their squad, so it's quite natural that Neymar is no longer getting a call-up from the national team, especially now that Neymar is recovering from a long injury.  

With how Brazil has performed in this year's Copa America, I believe they will try to push Argentina if they meet again and both do well enough to reach the final. Vini junior is doing well and assisting his country in the competition; without him, I don't think Brazil can still be in the competition. Neymar is weak due to injuries, so only Vini jr and Rodrygo are doing well in that striker role, and they win their matches. Let's see whether they can get the opportunity this time and win the trophy after failing against Argentina the previous time. When I so there fixture against Paraguay have already believed Brazil will definitely defeat them is when I so they are winning one goal i started surprise like Brazil will draw the game but  with the good work of vin Jr he make Brazil get opportunities and score goals and lead to winning, Brazil do well and get a good result from Paraguay.

Good come back by Brazil football team . Today Brazil football team won the match easily against Paraguay national football team. The match was one sided but I didn't like that kind of match and I  like tough matches and I like that matches in which both teams play well. Alderete is the only person who did one goal for the country but no other player could do the goal for the country and Paraguay national football team lose the match by high margin. We  saw Brazil team in excellent form and we can expect good performance in the future and I think they are capable to win this Cup . Júnior was top performer of Brazil football team and he did 2 goals for the team and he bent the match to their side. After that Paraguay national football team could not handle the pressure and Brazil played were dominant on Paraguay  team.

If a match is a goalless draw then there is no excitement in the match. Chile played with ten in this match but sadly Canada couldn't score any goal. However, in this draw, Canada has retained its second position while Chile is in the 3rd position. Although there was no goal in the match, The atmosphere of the match was not good. Chile could not take losing their teammate because of the red card, for which they also criticized the referee after the match. But sadly true I considered Chile as the winner in that match.

With the way the other teams are performing, I think it's clear that Argentina are favorite because the only team that I feel that can even stand a chance against them which is Brazil are aslo not showing that signs of been decisive when it comes to winning of their games although their last game was a convincing 3-0 win but their gameplay is still quite questionable.

Canada and Argentina have different situations. Canada did manage to get to quarter finals, but that is an "achievement" for them to be there and they should be happy about that, Argentina just played games the way they do and it is only natural for them to be there, it is not an achievement for them, it is what is expected of them to do in the end.

I think it's clear that we are not going to see a lot of people have anything less than finals expectations for Argentina at this point, it looks like they will get there. I believe that we are going to see some stuff changing in the end, but that won't be too easy at all, it could take a while. I believe the best thing to do right now would be just wait for rest of the teams.

Argentina were consistent early in the Copa America but Brazil had consistency problems but now Brazil and Argentina are moving forward together. Considering the performance of Brazil and Argentina, the performance of other teams in the Copa America is very weak. If we consider Brazil and Argentina in the finals this season, like the last Copa America season, we will not be far wrong. 
Argentina and Brazil are unbeaten in their group stage matches although Argentina have won all of their matches while Brazil have drawn only one match. Based on their points table so far, both Brazil and Argentina will be group champions and qualify for the next round. Even though Neymar is not in the Brazil squad for the Copa America, he is seen cheering on his players from the gallery in every match which is definitely an inspiration for the team

The favorite team without a doubt is the Argentine team, which has been competing for important titles for many years... Brazil will only be a test for a new squad that is being formed for the 2026 World Cup, while the Argentine team has already has a team formed and functioning well.

When we talk about the Copa America League, Argentina, and Brazil are people's favorite of lifting the trophy. However, All eyes are on them for the possibility of any of them lifting the Copa America trophy. Let's see how the league matches will turn out to be whether Brazil will have to lift the Copa America trophy again or Argentina will.

For the record of Copa America trophy, Argentina has lifted it 15 times, Brazil 9 times

Argentina team has performed flawlessly, they have won every match against the opposition in the group stage. As a result, they easily reached the quarter final round. Both Peru and Chile are strong teams but their team performances have been lacking this year in the Copa America which has resulted in them not getting the results they were hoping for.

You may notice today's match where Argentina and Peru faced each other.
Argentina played very well in today's match especially the young striker of Argentina team Lautaro Martinez scored two goals alone. The player has scored three goals in three matches so far, including two goals against Peru, mainly because of his goals, Argentina beat Peru in this match and reached the quarter finals. But they did it from undefeated ie they were undefeated in three matches.

Argentina and Canada have been selected as the first quarter-final teams. However, their playing performance was very good, especially Argentina got three great wins in three matches and the Argentine team qualified for the quarter-finals. Canada, on the other hand, qualified for the quarterfinals with a draw against Chile, but both teams performed well enough to reach this stage. But unfortunately from Group A, Peru and Chile did not make it to the quarter-finals instead they were eliminated, which must be a shame for them.

I accept what he said about Argentina as a joke.
This is football, you never know. Uruguay is a strong team, but I don't think they will score 3 goals against Argentina.
Let's say he scores 3 goals, Argentina scores 4 goals and passes the round.
Argentina is a team 2 sizes bigger than Uruguay in terms of squad quality.
I think Argentina is the big favorite in this tournament.
It will also be Messi's last major tournament. I guess he will quit football for the next Cup America tournament.

Lol. Uruguay can beat Argentina with a big score if all Argentine players are blindfolded. Argentina is still able to maintain its performance to date, in their last match they were able to beat Peru with a convincing score even though they were without Messi. I really hope that these two teams meet and am very curious about what you just said, whether Paraguay will be able to embarrass Argentina by scoring more than two goals or whether Uruguay will have to take their suitcase first from the Copa America.

Chile is a strong team, they played very disciplined and managed to close all the gaps that could make it difficult for the opposing team to penetrate their defense area. The red card received by Gabriel Suazo in the 27th minute was the start of disaster for Chile, those who really needed a win to qualify for the next round had to defend more than attack. Lacking one player made it difficult for Chile in this match, as a result they had to be eliminated from this tournament because they were only able to collect two points from three games.

Messi absence didn't make Argentina weaker and that's essential for a team seeking to obtain Copa America. Messi return will improve the team further.
Ecuador vs Mexico will be interesting to know which one of them will face Argentina next. Odds are quite the same so a profitable victory if the picked team wins. I tend to think that Ecuador could win this game.
Canada indeed will face Venezuela which gonna be an interesting match for the south american team.

Argentina really doesn't want to score 3 goals it seems. I like the way they are currently playing but if they meet Uruguay , I think Uruguay will simply demolish them by scoring at least 3 goals against them and no matter how great a team is , you need to score as much as you can to catch more confidence.

Regarding Canada vs Chile ...it was like a LaLiga 2 game to be honest with nothing great to see and if it wasn't for that red card , Chile would have won that game for sure.
