Messi back for Argentina but Venezuela can spoil the American dream

The world's best player is likely to start for the first time at this Copa America Centenario, but Vinotinto boss Rafael Dudamel thinks his men can win the competition.

If the U.S. public is already looking forward to a mouth-watering Copa America Centenario clash against Argentina in Houston on Tuesday, they may have a shock in store.

The tournament favorite is likely to have Lionel Messi in the starting lineup in Foxborough on Saturday and is widely expected to confirm a place in the final four.

But between Tata Martino’s men and Jurgen Klinsmann’s host stands Venezuela, a team determined to upset the odds.
