At long last, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL have made an announcement regarding the widely-speculated 2016 Copa America Centenario.
The two federations announced at a press conference in Miami on Thursday morning that the 45th edition of the Copa America will be played in the United States on the 100th anniversary of the inaugural 1916 tournament. The compe ion, which will run from June 3-26, will mark the first time that the Copa America is played outside of South America.
Not currently on FIFA’s international schedule, the Copa America Centenario will be comprised of the 10 CONMEBOL teams and six sides from CONCACAF. The United States and Mexico are CONCACAF teams assured of places in the tournament, and they will be joined by the 2014 Caribbean Cup and Central American Cup champions.
The final two CONCACAF spots will be filled after a four-team playoff. The four countries to advance furthest in the 2015 Gold Cup that are not already qualified for the 2016 Copa America will do battle in playoff matches and that will determine CONCACAF’s final two places.
The venues for the tournament have not yet been decided. Cities interested in hosting matches will be able to bid on them in the future.
CONMEBOL president Eugenio Figueredo said Thursday that while the tournament is not currently on FIFA’s schedule, the two federations are hoping that it will be by the time the tournament kicks off.
the last chance for Messi to ring (sort of) with the NT, IMO.
He will still have a WC and a Copa America at age 30ish.
And he will probably still be playing at age 34/35, tbh.
So, last chance
he would be a very old 31 year-old in 2018 and beyond..he is clearly past his peak and won't be able to be THAT guy for NT at that age..WC is getting played in Siberia in 2018, forget about south American team winning in Russia..And the outlook of Argies isn't that promising from the clueless coach to the pool of talent around Messi; i don't think much will change in couple of years..
Thank you so much
Messi will keep being one of the best players in the World 'till he retires. He may not be GOD but he will still be pretty ing good and Argentina will always be a contender. So yeah, this isn't the last chance Messi gets, tbh.he would be a very old 31 year-old in 2018 and beyond..he is clearly past his peak and won't be able to be THAT guy for NT at that age..WC is getting played in Siberia in 2018, forget about south American team winning in Russia

Although I might add that Argentina has potential upfront... Di Maria, Aguero, Dybala, Icardi, Tevez, Higuain
Mexic
Are they going to send the A team this time or save them for the Mexican Copa de Leche again?Mexico should be favorite, imho
