The 2018 FIFA World Cup won't be underway for another three years, but qualifying time is here. 10 South American nations will be fighting for the right to compete in the biggest soccer tournament in the world.
Another start to the season. Another year to start worrying about goaltending for Arsenal.
For years, the entire universe worried about Arsene Wenger's uninspiring trust in young Wojciech Szczesny between the pipes. For years, the 25-year-old looked promising, but always offered his fair share of howlers. Often it was a lack of focus or miscommunication with his backline that cost the keeper.
On Sunday, July 12 Eisenhower Park in Long Island, NY will light up with a mixture of Colombian folklore, culture and gastronomy as thousands will celebrate the South American country's independence as well as their Colombian pride.
The new FIFA world soccer rankings have officially been released. Huge surprises, disappointments and moves are listed. Damon Salvadore takes an in depth look at some of the biggest snubs and surprises.
Colombia may have made it to the Copa America quarterfinals but few would consider the effort a success. If anything Colombia's campaign, which commenced with dreams of a championship run, ended in utter ignominy.
That embarrassment was highlighted by one statistic - one goal.
The Copa America is now headed to the semifinals and the world has experienced a great deal of elation for major winners and yet a plethora of disappointments from those that were expected to do so much more.
Of the four remaining teams in the tournament, two of them were expected to make deep runs. The other two remaining sides were among the three worst teams in World Cup 2014 qualifiers. Those two sides, Peru and Paraguay, are where they are on their own merit but there is no doubt that they left rather disappointing sides in the dust.
Here are the biggest disappointments of the quarterfinals at the Copa America.
The 2015 Copa America is nearing the semifinals where just four teams will be left. Argentina entered as the favorites, and they have to take care of business this year. Damon Salvadore explains why.
Chile and Uruguay will face each other in the first round of the knockout stage of the 2015 Copa America. Both of these have high expectations this year, but only one can advance. Who do you think will win?
Colombia needs some major changes for its upcoming game against Argentina. Check out our in-depth analysis on the nation's struggles in this Copa America and why Radamel Falcao's time as a starter needs to end.
The 2015 Copa America has reached its playoff stage. Just eight teams remain for the chance to be named best national team in all of South America. Deserving teams remain, but only one can be crowned champion.
Who do you think will win it all?
The first round of the Copa America has come to an end. As is usually the case with major tournaments, there are bound to be a plethora of disappointments to take away from the opening batch of games.
Often times these disappointments involve teams that fail to live up to expectations and crash out quickly from the competition. In a forgiving competition in which only four of 12 teams are eliminated, there are bound to be disappointments among teams that still have life. Here they are.
Colombia won 1-0 on Wednesday ending a spell of 24 years without a competitive win over Brazil.
The big story however came after the game when Neymar took a free shot at Pablo Armero before headbutting Jeison Murrillo. The result was a red card that could potentially leave the superstar out for two games.
