Anyways there is a rumor that Ronaldinho will not play because he wants to take a break.Brazil usually takes a "B" team to the Copa America,don't forget this is basically where Adriano kinda made a "name" for himself..
It will be shown on Univision BTW..

I'm sure it'll be shown on one of the stations here (Fox Soccer Channel or GolTV) in the States. Last time, I think I watched a couple of matches on Univision, but now we have TWO English-language stations, so who knows?
As for the "FIFA rankings" comment: LOL! That's my usual reaction to those rankings, and here I used them to support my argument.
Is Columbia's team
that different from last year's team, though? I don't remember watching any of their qualifying matches, but they finished just one point behind Uruguay in the last WC qualifier, and Uruguay got a favor from an under-determined Argentina side in the last match. (Of course, it was amusing to watch Uruguay throw away that chance vs. the Socceroos in the "play in" match).
I just wanted to point out that there is plenty of strength in the U.S. group as well, not just in Mexico's group.
