Copa America 2024 - Group A & B Fixtures

Copa America 2024: The Ultimate Guide to Betting and Banter

You thought we were going to forget about Copa America? NO chance! For all you non-Europeans, this tournament means as much to you as the Euros do to us. But let’s be real – overall, the Euros just mean more. We will be covering all Copa America matches just like we do the Euros, and for you footy fanatics, this year is your year, and our blogs are your blogs.

Opening Day: Argentina vs. Canada – June 20th, 8 PM

Kicking off at Mercedes Benz Stadium, approximately 12 hours from now. It is unreal that the States is hosting this tournament. I fucking love it! Bring on all the tailgates and the drunkest fan coverage. This will be a wild scene in preparation for the North American-hosted World Cup in 2026. Now, let's get onto the match. Argentina will absolutely destroy us (Canada), and that's that. Alphonso Davies will be making his international tournament debut as captain for Canada, and that's the only good news I see for Canada coming out of this game. Since this game will be a blowout, the only reasonable bet I see myself taking is Argentina to score more than 2 goals at +137.

Peru vs. Chile – June 21st, 8 PM

Capping off the Group A fixtures, we have Peru taking on Chile. Chile will have the edge in this matchup. Chile's squad is superiorly talented and is a team I can see making a deep run. I have Chile winning this matchup at +100 odds. Seems like free money.

Group B Fixtures – June 22nd

Ecuador vs. Venezuela – 6 PM

First up, we have Ecuador taking on Venezuela. Venezuela is a good, talented squad, don't get me wrong, but I predict a 2-0 victory for Ecuador here. I’m only taking Ecuador on the money line at -125, it is the only bet that makes sense.

Mexico vs. Jamaica – 9 PM

Next, we have Mexico vs. Jamaica. This is as easy for the Mexicans to win as it was to cross the border and infiltrate the United States. Expect Mexico to make Jamaica cry in patois. I love Jamaica and I'm a big fan of the culture (weed, beef patties, reggae, jerk chicken). However, not even Bob Marley rising from the dead, singing One Love would be more surprising than the whooping Mexico is going to lay down on Jamaica. Take Mexico at -163 to win this one.

Final Whistle

So, there you have it, folks. The opening days of Copa America are set to be a mix of massacres and mismatches. Argentina will trounce Canada, Chile will handle Peru, Ecuador will edge out Venezuela, and Mexico will obliterate Jamaica. Get ready for some epic football and even better betting opportunities. Buckle up and let the games begin!
