Copa America - has anyone been following it?

Brazil vs. Argentina final on Sunday.
Good game in the early hours this morning between Argentina and Colombia. Martinez's saves in the shootout were quite incredible.

Brazil v Argentina final looks tasty!

Been watching the Argentina games cos want Messi to win a major tournament with his country. He’s been outstanding and still by far the best player in the world in my opinion. He’s looked unbelievable this tournament. Hope they beat Brazil but gonna be extremely tough! Can’t wait for it

Been watching the Argentina games too, as Block said Messi has been at his best and has really dragged them through. Watched a few other games but cant get the enjoyment without the fans.
Brazil havent looked anything special but it should be a great final

I'm coming round to the opinion that Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. Winning this would help strengthen that claim.

Certainly would. I get that it all comes down to preference and era etc but for natural ability and a pure joy to watch and sheer consistency no one comes close. Winning the copa america would only enhance his greatness even further. He’s been sublime this tournament.

He's looked more like the leader and captain the Argentinians have been wanting to see too. Scaloni has clearly worked at bringing these qualities out in him.

Yes, and I think Brazil were somewhat fortunate in the Chile match after Jesus' assault that saw red. Chile only have themselves to blame for not taking advantage and the chances they squandered at this level shouldn't be happening.

Yep, that's my view as well - he's best hands down for me. Might not be the most successful but that doesn't stop him being the best (if that makes sense?)

That said, would be interested to see a table of the most successful - titles, cups across club and international.
