It's always so amusing how tetchy South Americans are about the Copa America VS Euro Cup. Just like the Inter Continental Cup:
"We would annihilate them! The Copa America is better! We DEMAND RESPECT!"
Just as we heard at the World Cup as well.
Ok, chill out - we're aware there are some awesome South American teams - Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile.
But don't kid yourselves it has the strength in depth of the Euros: Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Holland, England (yes England - only South American team with a better head to head against them is Brazil), Portugal, Croatia, Russia, Serbia: all of a higher calibre than the next tier of South American teams.
Im summary: Peru would be lucky to get a win against Israel. The truest story you will hear all year
