Copa America Centenario is one week old

This morning completes last day from the second round of matches and we are already familiar with three certain teams who qualified for the next stage - quarterfinals. Whoever wins at the second scheduled match that team will join the already qualified trio in the last 16.

- Chile - Bolivia. Both teams suffered identical 2:1 loses from the first day and both teams are feeling confident and determined of going trough. Despite the loss, last year's Copa America winner Chile is still being favorites to progress through to the next stage. They play a Bolivia side whose results lately are very bad. And although Chile does not play well at the moment, with plenty of stars in their team should record their first victory in the group.
- Argentina - Panama. This may be called a potential derby from this morning because who ever wins it can be secured at the next stage. Reports (and rumors) have been circulating around that Lionel Messi will be in the starting 11 for Argentina. That still does not prove anything but to play against him is (almost) impossible. Colombian coach Hernan Dario Gomez surely knows how to stop them and Panama also have chances against the giants, but the Argentine seems to be too strong for them (stars, players, Ballon d'Or winner, pace, aggression...).
