Copa America

Starts this Friday. Shit news on coverage: ESPN covering it over here in the UK (which I, and I suspect most others, haven't got) and the Youtube live feed of all the games to 50 countries doesn't include the UK. Fcuking outrageous.

Excellent, got ESPN meself so it'll fill the football void for the next few weeks!! Now, time to decide what my usual leading scorer/tournament winner bet will be! Messi/Arg? Forlan/Urg? Neymar/Bra? Decisions decisions.

Did Spain accept their invitation into the tournament this year?

I'll probably just use a sopcast link.

BBC = shite. Cut out Royal Ascot and the Boat Race instead you Oxbridge tvvats.

Costa Rica and Mexico are the invitees...will probably both get crushed, Mexico won't be the same Mexico team you just saw in the Gold Cup.

Oh yeah. Costa Rica and Mexico are the two guest nations.

Good preview from the BBC here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2011/06/historic_copa_america_is_histo.html

In the States ESPN is pimping the Women's WC, since they are televising it here. Yawn. Call me sexist, but I would rather watch paint dry.

They are also airing the U-17 WC on ESPNU.

They lost out on the internet rights to the Copa America, so they didn't want the English TV rights.

Youtube will be how I watch it, as the TV rights are owned by Univision, and I'm in an area where Spanish is only spoken a hour a day in high schools.
