I will use this thread to post my Copa plays throughout the tournament.
First a little preview of how I see the groups
GROUP A **Predicted finish**
1. Colombia
2. USA
3. Costa Rica
4. Paraguay
Colombia will be without Falcao, Gutierrez, Ramos & Martinez however the Real Madrid man James will be there as will Cuardado, Rodriguez & Bacca. The squad is head and shoulders better than the other 3 teams in the group and should top it with ease. Leaving the other 3 to battle for second.
The United states is a team in transition with the old guard getting older Beckerman, Jones & Dempsey are on the wrong side of 33. The young Pulisic is too young. Wood had a decent year but in the German 2nd division.Yedlin looks decent, Altidore is injured. If this tournament were happening anywhere but the USA I would pick the Americans to finish bottom
Costa Rica have Ruiz, Saborio, Real Madrid keeper Navas as well as Joel Campbell. The team made a run in the WC and sit on top of their WCQ group. A questionable loss to the USA sees them miss out of 2nd place.
Paraguay have had a dreadful start to their WC qualifying campaign. Winners of only 3 of their last 16 games Paraguay is just not the team in form. Striker Santa Cruz is also 34 and with only 5 European based players called to the squad I'm picking them to finish bottom.
