The South American soccer world is once again getting ready to witness the biggest sporting spectacle of the region, Copa America within a few days. The curtain raiser of the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 is going to be held on 20th June with the defending champions Argentina locking horns with Canada. Brazil is one of the favorites to lift the prestigious trophy in this edition alongside Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
The nine-time Copa America champions Brazil will not have an easy road to reach the Knockouts, given their group consisting of teams like Paraguay and Colombia. Selecao last won the South American Championship back in 2019, having lost the final in 2021 to their arch-rivals Argentina. They will begin their Copa campaign against Costa Rica on June 25.
Copa America Group D Teams
The Copa America 2024 Group D has already been termed as the “group of death” by soccer pundits, thanks to the presence of the mighty teams. Brazil is the most powerful of the lot. They are clear favorites to book a spot in the Knockouts as the group topper.
However, their journey towards the quarter-finals won’t be an easy one as both Columbia and Paraguay are two of the dark horses of the competition and can pull off upsets. Columbia have won the Copa America title only once in their history, while Paraguay have also become champions on one occasion. Despite showing promise several times, they failed to take the big bite in this tournament.
Nestor Lorenzo’s team, led by World Cup hero James Rodriguez, have the necessary fire in them to go all the way to the prized silverware. For Costa Rica, they have established themselves as the giant killer in various major international tournaments. The Copa America 2024 will also be no different for them as they will also be aiming for a Knockout berth.
