Anyone following the Copa America?

Hello... since the season is almost over (FINISHED if you're an Arsenal fan) and, quite frankly, not much is happening in the summer apart from International Football (yes, I used CAPS), I thought maybe it would be cool (fun?) to pick up the Copa America and really follow it from start to finish.
Of all the tournaments this summer (Gold Cup/FIFA U-20s/Pan-American Games), it's probably going to be the one with the best football and the best players, but as usual it will probably not be
given much attention by the English-language media. I've noticed we have loads of Brazilians and Argentines on here, and more than a few USAians, so there's no reason why we can't make ourselves
the best English source for the Copa America this summer. Anyone interested? I promise I won't keep talking about Denilson.
Anyways, if you have a blog and feel like keeping an eye out for the Copa, then have a go, and if you're interested in writing but aren't a member, then sign up!
This past Club World Cup (which NOBODY cares about outside of South America), OleOle probably had the most (and best) coverage of the event, and i'm sure we can generate a fair amount of buzz about
the Copa America. This is after all the "World Cup of the Americas"... but I guess that doesn't make much sense. I'll stop now.
Like this blog? Help spread the word: 
Of course, Copa America its, by far, the most important event of this summer, and one of the most important of the year.
does anyone know of any Copa America Fantasy Games?
yahoo had a really cool World Cup fantasy game, and i'd love to find a similar Copa America one...
thanks
This year copa america have a new player his name is HUGO CHAVEZ

I am all over the Copa America. and i would love to see more english media attention on it. the spanish media is often horrible in terms of professionalism and webmanagment.
in terms of the club world cup, i think europe doesnt care about it because they dont want to acknowledge a south american club putting up a fight with europes finest and they dont have much to gain from beating them.
good to hear it copeteco, and look forwarding to reading what you have to say.
if they expanded the CWC and made it two teams from europe and sudamerica each (you can add the winners of the UEFA cup and Copa Sudamericana), then I think it would be more interesting.
