2024 Copa America group stage draw: Argentina set for Chile reunion, Brazil paired Colombia and the USMNT get Uruguay

<p>The reigning champions are going to be paired with two familiar foes in Peru and Chile, and then a Concacaf foe in the winner of the playoff between Canada and Trinidad and Tobago. Lionel Messi and co. seemingly have an advantageous group in comparison to the rest of the field, but they have history against the team from pot 3 in this group: Chile. Alexis Sanchez and co. won the tournament in both 2015 and 2016, defeating La Albiceleste not once, but twice in back-to-back penalty shootouts. Lionel Scaloni's side will be looking for tournament revenge this time around.</p><p>Peru, meanwhile, sit bottom of CONMEBOL WCQ and are in poor form, with Chile just two spots above them now. If they qualify, Canada could shockingly be the toughest opponent during the group stage for Argentina, with the likes of Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies in their way.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>MATCH</strong></td><td><strong>DATE</strong></td><td><strong>LOCATION</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Argentina vs Trinidad/Canada</td><td>June 20</td><td>Atlanta</td></tr><tr><td>Peru vs Chile</td><td>June 21</td><td>Arlington</td></tr><tr><td>Chile vs Argentina</td><td>June 25</td><td>East Rutherford</td></tr><tr><td>Peru vs Trinidad/Canada</td><td>June 25</td><td>Kansas City</td></tr><tr><td>Argentina vs Peru</td><td>June 29</td><td>Miami</td></tr><tr><td>Chile vs Trinidad/Canada</td><td>June 29</td><td>Orlando</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>

GROUP A: Argentina, Peru, Chile & Canada/Trinidad and Tobago

<p>Mexico will take on Chelsea's Moises Caicedo and Ecuador, along with Venezuela and the winner of this Spring's playoff between Costa Rica and Honduras. Immediately, this feels like the most open group where no team is truly that far ahead of other's in terms of roster and talent. Mexico have struggled against Concacaf opponents of late, while Costa Rica and Honduras are both familiar with their game. Ecuador, who sit fifth in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, should be thought of as group favorites, but then there's Venezuela: A team who doesn't sport a superstar, but sits 4th in WCQ with recent draws against both Ecuador and Brazil and even recorded a win over Honduras in an international friendly last January.</p><p>The group is wide-open and not one team is considered a shoe-in for the knockout round.</p><p></p><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>MATCH</strong></td><td><strong>DATE</strong></td><td><strong>LOCATION</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Mexico vs Jamaica</td><td>June 22</td><td>Houston</td></tr><tr><td>Venezuela vs Ecuador</td><td>June 22</td><td>Santa Clara</td></tr><tr><td>Mexico vs Venezuela</td><td>June 26</td><td>Inglewood</td></tr><tr><td>Ecuador vs Jamaica</td><td>June 26</td><td>Las Vegas</td></tr><tr><td>Mexico vs Ecuador</td><td>June 30</td><td>Glendale</td></tr><tr><td>Jamaica vs Venezuela</td><td>June 30</td><td>Austin</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>

GROUP B: Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela & Costa Rica/Honduras

<p>Gregg Berhalter and co. drew the worst-possible team from pot 2, but lucked out in pot 3 and 4. Uruguay, now led by ex-Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa, are a formidable foe and even handed Argentina their ONLY loss of the 2023 calendar year in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying. Panama, a familiar Concacaf opponent, and Bolivia - a side who are 1-0-5 in WCQ at the moment - are favorable draws.</p><p>It's a dream draw for the USMNT, who get an elite opponent in Darwin Nunez and co. while being paired up with two sides they can expect to beat.</p><p></p><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>MATCH</strong></td><td><strong>DATE</strong></td><td><strong>LOCATION</strong></td></tr><tr><td>USA vs Bolivia</td><td>June 23</td><td>Arlington</td></tr><tr><td>Uruguay vs Panama</td><td>June 23</td><td>Miami</td></tr><tr><td>USA vs Panama</td><td>June 27</td><td>Atlanta</td></tr><tr><td>Uruguay vs Bolivia</td><td>June 27</td><td>East Rutherford</td></tr><tr><td>USA vs Uruguay</td><td>July 1</td><td>Kansas City</td></tr><tr><td>Panama vs Bolivia</td><td>July 1</td><td>Orlando</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>

GROUP C: United States, Uruguay, Panama & Bolivia

<p>Vinicius Jr. and Brazil are paired with Colombia, Paraguay and Jamaica in what just may be the group of death, and Jamaica is the reason why. The Reggae Boyz have slowly compiled a roster that is now made up of more than 50% of players from the English Premier league, poaching dual-nationals like Leon Bailey and Michael Antonio. As for Paraguay, young Brighton striker Julio Enciso and Newcastle winger Miguel Almiron could prove to be a formidable attacking force, while Colombia sports Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and ex-Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez. Los Cafeteros even recently knocked-off Brazil in WCQ 2-1, becoming the first team to EVER do so on Brazilian turf.</p><p>The Selecao, who are nine-time winners of the competition, will look to earn a spot in the knockout round but will not have it easy with these three sides in their way. Neymar's Copa hopes are in jeopardy due to injury, while Vinicius sees himself sidelined into the new year. Can their young core of Rodrygo, Joao Pedro and Gabriel Martinelli get the job done up top?</p><p></p><table><colgroup data-width="752.999247"><col style="width:33.2005332005332%"><col style="width:33.598933598933606%"><col style="width:33.2005332005332%"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><strong>MATCH</strong></td><td><strong>DATE</strong></td><td><strong>LOCATION</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Brazil vs Honduras/Costa Rica</td><td>June 24</td><td>Inglewood</td></tr><tr><td>Colombia vs Paraguay</td><td>June 24</td><td>Houston</td></tr><tr><td>Brazil vs Paraguay</td><td>June 28</td><td>Las Vegas</td></tr><tr><td>Colombia vs Honduras/Costa Rica</td><td>June 28</td><td>Glendale</td></tr><tr><td>Brazil vs Colombia</td><td>July 2</td><td>Santa Clara</td></tr><tr><td>Paraguay vs Honduras/Costa Rica</td><td>July 2</td><td>Austin</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>
