Football: Brazil seek to forget troubles, focus on a Copa America like no other

Brazil are the holders, having won the 2019 tournament when it was also played in front of their own fans.

As usual, they have an abundance of talent to choose from, with players such as Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and striker Gabriel Jesus plus Liverpool pair Fabinho and Roberto Firmino all struggling to find a place in the starting XI.Coach Tite has expertly managed the egos and the tactics, and will be confident of notching up Brazil's 10th Copa America title. They also face Colombia, Ecuador and Peru in Group B.

Brazil have not won the World Cup since 2002, and a 20-year gap between trophies is a long time for the five-time winners.
