The next Copa America will have 16 countries, 6 of which will be invited from outside the region

>The next Copa America will have 16 countries, 6 of which will be invited from outside the region

You now realize this is becoming the new and improved World Cup. All we need are the top 5 European countries + USA and it's settled.

Why not just merge CONMEBOL and CONCACAF at this point. The Copa America can be all 10 CONMEBOL teams, USA, Mexico and Costa Rica. The remaining three spots have to be fought over by the remaining teams CONCACAF teams.

>European countries
>Copa America
That would be shit because they would win it.
CONMEBOL invites countries like Japan, Mexico, Jamaica and US because they have no chances of winning the CA.

Please invite us.

>yfw tsunaldo wins the copa america before Missi

Why don't Suriname and Guyana play in the Copa América?

Too european to be seen with Brazilian monkeys

Because the WC spots would be taken by at least 8-9 teams from CONMEBOL and we are just 10 national teams

what a retarded format is this

Culturally those countries relate to the Caribbean more than the rest of SA.
They also probably didn't even have football federations until recently, like much of CONCACAF.

>3 Caribbean
>3 African

Cap this

Also, Conmebol will have 6.5 spots for the expanded World Cup.
>Argentina
>Brazil
>Chile
>Colombia
>Paraguay
>Ecuador/Peru

a quick search tells me that Mexico historically does well when its invited, multiple appearances in semis and such and even a Final, and if I remember Mexico cannot bring their A team or something? well, any invited team

Mexico only reached a final in the worst Copa America ever, ours kek
>Brazil with their D team
>Argentina didn't even come
>Honduras was unironically third
that cup was a meme, no one gave a shit and that's why >we won it

a win is still a win, so congrats to your country for winning it

Why even call it copa america at that stage?

Also fuck no we're not coming you'll hack the shit out of us while the refs just ignore it.

yep >we have reached the finals two times: in 1993 and 2001

feels good

USA declines to attend. I think they were invited to the last one and they decline so they ended up inviting jamaica.

conmebol is retarded
having invited teams is the definition of an amateur bullshit competition

kek missi would be put on suicide watch faster than he could even begin to regurgitate

What about the Centenary? Didn't the US hosted that?

They are in CONCACAF. Same with French Guiana.

should just be the whole hemisphere (or the "American continent" for you latin savages)

of course that's basically just S. America + USA + Mexico + some meme from Central America

centenary doesn't matter, it didn't give a spot to the Confederations cup

It's meant to be

Italy, Spain, France and Portugal. Then USA and Mexico.

Centenario is not an actual copa america.

You'll get to host an irregular one in 2020 too, the last one before the format for the world cup changes and we play copa america at the same time as the euros.

It's meant to be those 4 countries I mentioned because of historical ties since it's basically the last copa america before it starts happening the same year as the euros.

But honestly it's a disrespect, as the oldest international tournament copa america should not be moved, euros should move.

Uruguay gets the last one nigger

"In less stupid news, the Copa America will return to the USA the following year, and from then on the tournament will take place every four years, during the same summers as the European Championships."

>usa 2020
>ecuador 2024
>other south american country 2028

The only divide, like the Centenario in 2016, is between European fans and South American ones. National teams can just leave the European Championships to get into the Copa America. Maybe UEFA and COMEBOL get a agreement that gets some close qualifiers for the Euros into the Copa America, while keeping the teams that qualified for the Euros in the Euros.

Or maybe we might get 2 UEFA reps (Spain and Portugal, likely,) 2 CONCACAF reps (USA, Mexico or Costa Rica,) 1 AFC member and the winner of a playoff between the best CAF team and best OFC team (New Zealand, obs.) This would promote the Copa America to other markets, and this would most likely happen once USA 2020 comes.

Well actually out of the 100 years that this tournament has been around, only the last 30 or something like that years it's been called "Copa America". Until then it has always been known as the Southamerican Championship.

American jews realised how much money the Euros made and that they were missing out being a top tier continental cup so they remade it into the current Copa. And since calling Copa America to a tournament that only southamericans played was as retarded as calling a local league the World Series, they decided to invite Northamerican teams.

Proabs the same for 2020.

They did appear in 2 finals, actually.

Don't be triggered dinosaur man

sorry to rain on this but Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Venezuela have a piss poor record against USA/Mexico and it's unlikely Colombia/Chile become constants like Brazil/Argentina. Uruguay also can't keep falling back on the very last spot possible with those 2 added and an improving Costa Rica on their ass either.
