The 2015 Copa America in Chile had everything: great goals, unforgettable moments and infamous controversies. Now, thanks to the celebration of one century of CONMEBOL and the Copa, we get to do it all again. This time, the memories will be made in our own backyard.
A total of 1.5 million people in the United States tuned in to watch the 2015 Copa America final, and the viewership totals for the 2016 edition of the tournament figure to be vastly larger. The cultural impact of the Copa America Centenario might even be larger than the 1994 World Cup.
The broadcasting rights for the 2015 tournament were held by beIN SPORTS, which limited its availability in many households. Now, the tournament will be made widely available for viewing through Fox Sports and Univision.
If this summer’s 45th edition of the Copa America serves as your introduction to the continental championship of South America, be ready for a wild ride. The inclusion of the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Haiti and Panama is only going to intensify the madness.
Chile won the 2015 edition of the tournament as the host country. On the evidence of having scored two of the top three goals of the tournament, their victory was well deserved. Here are the top three goals of the 2015 Copa America.
