What a time to be alive as a football fan, as COPA AMÉRICA joins EURO 2024 on our television screens. Here to preview the Western Hemisphere's championship is STU HOLDEN, who played for the U.S. Men’s National Team and was one of the first Americans I ever saw play in a Premier League midfield. Now he’s a co-commentator and analyst for FOX Sports, which will be broadcasting the Copa América here in the United States along with the EUROs.
We touched on how American players have gone to a new level in Europe since Stu’s days, Jesse Marsch’s appointment as Canada’s head coach, Lionel Messi and the mighty Argentines’ clash with nemesis Chile, the North Americans getting torched by the South Americans in pre-tournament friendlies, how the USMNT should line up, the major threats posed by Colombia and Uruguay, and whether there’s a mismatch between Coach Gregg Berhalter and the current crop of American footballers.
