Two teams chasing the 2015 Copa America will do battle today in a match between Uruguay and Jamaica. The tournament clash scheduled for 3 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Regional de Antofagasta in Antofagasta and can be live streamed here. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
What They're Saying
Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez (via Deporte Registrado): "There won't be another player in all of the Copa [America] that will match Messi's quality. There will, however, be other important players like [Sergio] Aguero, [Gonzalo] Higuain, Neymar, Alexis Sanchez and [Arturo Vidal]. Argentina are a dangerous team and the favorites. On top of that, they have Messi, who is a complete player in form, ready to give his all to the team."
Jamaica head coach Winfried Schafer (via All Sports): "I hope we can go to the quarterfinals. Football is open, you cannot tell; Brazil were beaten 7-1 in the semifinal of the World Cup. This is good for Jamaica, it is good for the players, good for me and good for everybody. I want to win matches and hope at the end when we come back from Chile our whole island is happy about the Reggae Boyz."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Luis Suarez still serving suspension for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup, Uruguay turn to Christian Stuani atop the formation. In 15 starts with Espanyol last season, the 28-year-old finished with 12 goals.
Uruguay's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Muslera; Pereira, Godin, Gimenez, Pereira; Rodriguez, Rios, Gonzalez, Lodeiro; Stuani, Cavani
