		The Copa América is the main national football competition of the CONMEBOL nations.

		For the Copa América 2001, Canada was an invitee but on July 6, 2001 withdrew because of security concerns.

	ESPN.com Soccernet Global: News - Sad and devalued Copa America starts in Colombia
		South America's World Cup qualifying competition, in which the 10 teams play each other twice over an 18-month period and in which the winners are logically considered the best team on the continent, has made the Copa a footballing irrelevance.
		Pastrana has made a successful Copa America a central part of his attempts to end the country's 37-year-old civil war which has killed 10,000 people in the past decade alone.
		He then invited fans to come to the Copa, which was somewhat ironic as supporters were clearly not in the equation as directors chopped and changed dates and venues on an almost daily basis.

	SOCCER NOTE
		Sampson, who compiled a 26-22-14 record since replacing Milutinovic in August 1995, was given the majority of the blame for a U.S. team that lost all three of its World Cup matches this summer in France and finished last among the 32 participating countries.
		He took over for Milutinovic on an interim basis on April 14th, 1995 and was named permanent coach less than four months later.
		The United States enjoyed some success under Sampson, finishing second in the 1995 Copa America, winning the 1995 U.S. Cup, defeating Brazil in the 1998 Gold Cup and going 8-2-6 in CONCACAF qualification matches for World Cup '98.

		Choosing to market the merits of the entire league on the basis of an All-Star match amounts to pre-meditated idiocy.
		An All-Star team has no focal point for fan identification, in contrast with the opposition who are playing the match for that express purpose, to build loyalty to their British club in North America.
		The persistence with an All-Star game against a "big-time" foreign club represents a short-term, doomed to fail, bottom-line appeal to casual, glory-hunting soccer support, rather than a genuine attempt to increase the base of hardcore support for league sides.

		Instead of shirking the responsibility for the lack of television coverage of the Gold Cup, the official tournament of CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football), Steinbrecher took the blame.
		Combined with last summer's Copa America, which was only available on pay-per-view, U.S. soccer fans have been cheated out of watching the team play in two quality competitions.
