when you talk about South America you only really talk about two Countries Argentina and Brazil, the only reason Uraguay are being talked about is because those two countries teams are the worst they have had for a long time even though they have some fabulous individual players. As for the rest you can't seriously tell me teams from Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Bolivia are good teams are you and there the type of teams who mostly make up the Copa America Cup. I would fancy all the teams in the Premier League up to about 13 to beat those South American teams myself and that's why I say the Premier League is the highest standard of Football Suarez plays at and it's what's put him on the map, not Uraguay, Ajax or cup competitions. According to FIFA, Columia is number 3, higher than Brazil or Argentina. Uruaguay has more World Cup titles and more international trophies than England. I really don't think you're seeing the whole picture.

According to FIFA, Columia is number 3, higher than Brazil or Argentina. Uruaguay has more World Cup titles and more international trophies than England. I really don't think you're seeing the whole picture. Uraguay apart from winning the 1950 World Cup have done zilch in it ever since apart from the last one where they reached the semi finals they have made no impact whatsoever in the tournament, before the semi they were probably best remembers for being the dirtiest team in the world as Michael Laudrup and his Danish team mates would confirm after 86. The next team people might say is Columbia there claim to fame exists not for footballing reasons but for Rene Huguitta and his scorpion kick and Carlos Valderammas hair. After this we get to teams like Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Venezula and I would stick by my claim that any average Premier League Club would nine times out of ten beat those countries. So you see for me the Copa America is only similar to the Capital One Cup in my eyes probably less competitive in fact, do using it to make Suarez somehow world class is hollow in my eyes, the Premiership is his highest level up to now.

Do you know any of the following footballers Mick, or should I say, have you heard of any of the following?
Jackson Martinez, Luis Muriel, Abel Aguilar, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado,Fredy Guarín, Pablo Armero, Juan Camilo Zúñiga, Mario Yepes, Radamel Falcao?
Guess what they all have in common?

+1. I'd like to see Sunderland or Stoke or Aston Villa play that team.

Did you know that no other team in Europe's top 5 Leagues spent more money on transfers to not win a trophy than Everton under Moyes?
