If you haven't noticed we have two great international soccer tournaments going on at the same time. Here in the U.S. we have Copa America Centenario, celebrating 100 years of the original South American Copa America. It is pretty much a blatant cash grab with the 10 South American teams playing here against the U.S., Mexico, and four token North/Central American/Caribbean teams (Costa Rica, Jamaica, Haiti, and Panama have already been eliminated).
Over in Europe we have the expanded European Championships. For the first time, 24 teams have been invited to the Euros, as the tournament expanded from 16 teams and is now as big as the World Cup itself was in the U.
