Copa America: Players to Look Out For

Neymar

The Brazilian striker has had another good year for PSG, and played a big part in the win for Brazil back in 2019. He is the leader of the team, but also their biggest goal threat and most attacking player. If he has a strong tournament, Brazil are likely to do the same.

Lionel Messi

Messi has had a fantastic career, with many club titles and awards to his name. However, one thing is missing, a major trophy with Argentina. Can he help them get that here, in one of his last chances to do so? Just like Neymar, a strong tournament for Messi will likely mean that Argentina have a strong tournament.

Roberto Firmino

The Liverpool striker plays with other talented forwards for his club, and he gets the chance to do the same with his country, playing alongside Neymar and others in this attacking line up. We’ve seen for Liverpool, he can grab goals together in patches when on form, those backing him to be the tournament top scorer will be hoping he hits the ground running and does that here.

Edinson Cavani

Despite coming towards the end of his career, Cavani has been very good for Manchester United this season and comes into the Copa America for Uruguay looking to find the net again. Uruguay have the ability to shock the big two here, if at their best, and to be there, goals from Cavani are a must.
