Problems before the start

The historic 2016 Copa America edition looks like being 'cursed' before it even starts. First Neymar Jr. is out of the Brazilian team, then Uruguayan Luis Suarez is in doubt of missing the competition and now Costa Rica's best goalkeeper Keylor Navas is definitely out. But the real tragedy will be one South American country who is staging a protest of leaving the event and is not aimed at the organizers at all.
One of the strong favorites to lift the trophy - Argentina, is seriously considering pulling out of the Copa America Centenario. Its FA is threatening to exit the tournament after accusing the government over interference. Argentine government, who sends its own investigators are looking for allegations of embezzlement of TV revenues, has suspended the presidential election for 30 June.
If this indeed happens then we will be short by plenty of stars participating.
