Big mistake on USA hosting the Copa America Centenario

Furious Uruguayan president Wilmar Valdez have pointed out many errors about this year's anniversary event. One of them is that the USA was not supposed to be host for this great tournament. Valdez said that in the country is living around 33 million Mexican Americans who also called USA 'a big colony' and for that Mexico is in big advantage to lift the trophy. 'CONMEBOL made a mistake by holding a tournament of this scope, a cup of some of the oldest national teams in the world and in South American football here in the USA. Here, yesterday it became obvious to me that this tournament is pretty much put together with Mexico in mind. It pays me to say it and I take full responsibility as a member of the CONMEBOL executive committee. I think we made a mistake and that CONMEBOL made a mistake' are his words on the issue. No matter if this competition is played in USA, Canada, South America or even in Europe maybe the president is angry that Mexican players are way way better and the team absolutely plays astonishing football at the moment. 
'Digging' more on the hosts he added that USA is 'a country where they do not feel football neither they live or breath it' in the same way as South Americans are doing. On this occasion, for the Uruguay radio station Sport 890, Valdez also spoke about the mix up with the national anthem.
