Copa Libertadores and la Copa America

Copa Libertadores and la Copa América

Blog by Migl

    Okay, so I’m splitting this up into 2 sections: Copa Libertadores, and la Copa America.  

    First of all, you’re probably wondering, what is the Copa Libertadores?  Well, it’s a South American soccer tournament.  One of my favorite teams, Independiente Santa Fe, a Colombian Club soccer team, has reached the quarter finals!!!  They are going to play Internacional, a club team as well.  Before I get any further into this, there is a big difference between club soccer teams and national soccer teams.  National soccer teams cannot play against club teams.  For example, Real Madrid is a Club team, and the best one.  Colombia has it’s own national team .  These 2 teams can’t play each other because they both have James Rodriguez, a Colombian soccer player.  You can play on any club team, but you may only play for one (or 2, if you have my case) national team, which is the country you are from.  Point is, this is really exciting for me!  

    Anyways,here to go to a website with all of the scores of la Copa Libertadores, and a table.  Would you follow Santa Fe (they are in the top 5 south american soccer teams!)?  

Okay, this is the second part of the post.  La Copa América, like la Copa Libertadores, is a South American soccer tournament, except this is a national team competition.  There’s 12 teams.  The Tournament starts June 11.  I’m cheering for Colombia (duh), who won in 2001.  

Will you pay attention to this tournament?
