Squads of the 2015 Copa America

The 2015 Copa America (hosted by Chile) is almost upon us, so it’s a good time to check out the squads of the favorites like Argentina (with Lionel Messi), Brazil (including Neymar), Colombia (having James Rodriguez) and Uruguay (showcasing Edinson Cavani), playing without the still suspended Luis Suarez.

The 2014 World Cup finalists have been drawn with Uruguay, Paraguay and Jamaica in group B. They’ve won the Copa America 14 times, but the last of which has been in 1993, since then losing twice in the final (2004 and 2007, both to Brazil) and were a disappointing quarterfinals exit in 2011, despite hosting the tournament.

A team that hasn’t been to the World Cup since 1994; winners of the Copa America in 1963 but not past the group stage 1997 and runner-ups on that occasion. There really aren’t that many expectations out the Bolivians, drawn together with Chile, Ecuador and Mexico.
