“Oh no! I missed the game soccer today”, this should not be heard anywhere for at least a month, since the Copa América and the Euro Cup they take center stage at the same time.
There is football to choose from. The duels that take place on the old continent will be held first due to schedule. Germany is responsible for hosting Euro 2024 from June 14 to July 14. Meanwhile, the United States raises a more fierce and legendary Copa América from June 20 to July 14.
There are no excuses not to enjoy a great football duel. In fact, the Euro starts before the Copa América, but they finish on the same day. Which indicates that two finals are played on the same Sunday, something that will fill the follower of this wonderful sport with excitement.
The defending champions are Italy and Argentina, respectively. Both teams look very different from the previous edition. The first won the Euro without the stamp of being a candidate, after experiencing a regrettable chain between World Cup qualifications and poor movements on the coaching bench.
However, Italy is already in Germany with the goal of repeating the title. Luciano Spalletti’s cast lacks a franchise player, as was the former emblematic ‘Nazionale’ goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, currently head of the Italian delegation, the most acclaimed. They don’t have one star that stands out from the rest. Something that Italy has lacked in recent years.
Italy will face Albania on June 15, Spain on June 20 and Croatia on June 24 in Group B.
For its part, Argentina, who won the Copa América in 2021 and subsequently won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, does have the nerve to win the tournament again.
“I think that Argentina is always the favorite, beyond the fact that we have won everything, previously, when it was not possible that we could achieve the objectives, Argentina was also always the favorite,” said Lionel Messi, who is playing in a Copa América as “at home.” , after being the emblem of Inter Miami in the MLS.
The American champions, leaders of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 North American World Cup, look impressive. They don’t seem to have weak points.
They will open the tournament facing Canada on June 20 in Atlanta, in the opening of Group A.
Although the Copa América is held in the United States, the Latin teams feel at home due to the size of the public that will surely support them.
A month to enjoy football wherever you like it best. You can enjoy the European games in the morning and the American games in the evening. There are no excuses, there is football for everyone.
