Was about time to settle that, must admit I was starting to get a little nervous. Is it also settled that games will be played in Brazil? Still think that is stupid considering covid situation in Brazil.

After all, decision to move Copa to Brazil instead of USA for me initially looked strange and a bit stupid because of pandemic thing there.
i would have moved the copa to the states as well - especially since the whole south american continent has not yet got a grip on the pandemic, from what we hear here from europe
* much better covid situation
* supporters on stadium
* extra popularization of soccer in USA
* more then ready infrastructure
* no extra tensions between South American teams, wherever you move Copa in South America somebody would get "unfair" advantage and it will result with complaints from their arch rivals

it may well be that the brazilian national team will not participate in the copa 2021 
Wow, this is something very unexpected, I don't even know what to say. Without Brazil this tournament probably will lose half of value. Imagine if Messi and co will win this trophy, such win without their main rival would be not that much significant.Quote
"They have an opinion and they disclosed it to the president," Tite said when asked if players had asked for permission to skip the tournament that begins in less than two weeks. "They will disclose it to the public at the appropriate time. That's why our captain Casemiro is not here today."

Why is Cavani not playing for them? I guess he just got a few extra days of rest after playing Europa League final.
got suspended (red card) last year for two games. I watched their game yesterday and it was probably the most boring game i've seen this year. I don't think Cavani woulda made that big a difference. Uruguay's tactics are too defensive, literally 2 strikers and the rest of the players on defensive roles. Kinda regret supporting uruguay in our pool now 😂 June 04, 2021, 02:18:08 PM

I think it is probably just click bait but supposedly Neymar limped a little on the way back to hotel.

regarding 3rd place match, it could make a difference for Uruguay scorers, and Suarez is the one than is motivated in all matches, that was the reason I asked about it, that could be a match with goals
it seems that 4-5 goals could be enough to get best scorers title, and on five/six matches, where one is for third place, that could be important, players within teams that will not go through group phases are clearly harder option for most goals
nevertheless, will think about it, IMO, Suarez has better value than Uruguay to win, although neither is close to be a win

It's rbf so if for some reason it's unconfirmed by weekend I'll bump fees.
I sent for Trofo and myself just now.
Both tx confirmed sending PM with joining details in a minute.
Suarez @6, as top scorers, seems as a good bet, although it will depend on Uruguay success a lot, is there a third place match on Copa?
I don't feel like Uruguay will score many goals after their performance yesterday. Why is Cavani not playing for them? I guess he just got a few extra days of rest after playing Europa League final. June 04, 2021, 11:46:26 AM

Yeah, there will be third place game, though, I'm not sure that's must needed thing in such tournament. Ford underdogs, maybe yes, even 3rd place is big achievement, but for favorites who lost semifinal, sometimes it's difficult to find motivation for this game. After all, I hardly can remember 3rd place game which would had stuck in my mind.Suarez top scorer is interesting bet with good value, I think, worth to try.
It seems that any TV channel won't show Copa America in my country - as always, this tournament don't get enough coverage in Europe. Probably time difference and all attention to EURO is main reasons. So, I will have to use IPTV. I think I saw that BBC will show it?
June 04, 2021, 11:11:37 AM
^^ it does depend where you want to place a bet, but Brasil is mostly considered as favorite (did not check week ago, maybe it is because of changing venues to Brasil)
Brasil, than Argentina a bit higher, and Uruguay and Colombia at 8/9, Chile s worth notice at 15+, others are safe to miss bets

Supporting Argentina, like I have been doing for the last 15 years or so. I'd like Messi and Aguero to win something meaningful with the national team. I think they lost 3 Copa finals, as well as a World cup final.
Brazil must be considered favorites, although I think bookies rate Argentina higher.

Hello! Thought I already put my participation but I must be confused with some other... EURO maybe or some.
I was already thinking I will have to send you a PM since you forgot about us Crazy South Americans, they are playing World Cup qualification games today, just before Copa starts. While Europeans are relaxing, training and playing friendlies to recuperate before EURO.
Yeah, it's almost as if they just want to live up to their crazy reputation ha! Some reasonably disappointing results for some last night (Chile and Uruguay both drawing being the most annoying as I don't like betting handicaps or draws) but seems like we're already getting some clues into how Copa will turn out next week.
Paid my fee;) tx id: f6d2c901903bf71502b251b16b107e543e4f08d6926399ea82df3472225d055a

I’ll join, add me to the list dude.
No official reservation list anymore, just list of paid participants. But I am keeping my own private list of "interested" participants who have not paid yet so I can shoot some PMs if people forget. That list at the moment looks like this:Trofo
Cryptofrka
buwaytress
jeremypwr
LFC_Bitcoin
I am 99.99% sure all of us from this list will actually pay and participate so that will bring the total number of participants to 14. Getting very close to my projected number of 15.

Uruguay or Colombia is my pick, but this largely because of odds (Uruguay frequent underdog in the big team pools for some reason) but I won't be surprised if Messi finds a way to swansong his way into this extra Copa (yeah, no rules eh).
I'll update here on weekend with payment, Trofo.
