Copa América is turning 100. Play is well underway in Copa América Centenario, the one-hundredth anniversary of the original Campeonato Sudamericano de Football held in Buenos Aires in 1916.
And so far, the excitement and build-up you’d expect for a centennial bash has been on display in packed stadiums across the United States, which is hosting the 2016 special edition of the tournament.
The reigning Copa champions Chile fell to the number one team in the world Argentina, even with superstar Lionel Messi on the bench. CONCACAF’s Mexico dominated Uruguay, the nation with the most Copa América titles at fifteen.
