It’s never easy to repeat as a champion in any tournament, but it becomes even tougher when you have to go against some of the best international teams in the world. That is what Uruguay have to face as they head to Chile in an attempt to win back to back Copa America tournaments. They will start their campaign as online betting favorites against Jamaica on Saturday night at the Estadio Regional de Antofagasta.
This will be the first appearance for Jamaica at the Copa America, and you get the sense that the Reggae Boyz may be in over their heads here. The last appearance for Jamaica on the world stage was at France 98, where they earned some fans, thanks to their wide open style of play. They have failed to qualify for the World Cup in the 4 tournaments that followed that one, but they did manage to add 4 Caribbean Cups to their trophy cabinet during that stretch. Jamaica really hasn’t played anyone of note since they met France last year. That might be a good thing, since they went down 8-0 in that game. I have a feeling that thing could be just as unpleasant for them in their first run at the Copa America.
