The guys then talk Copa America, Messi’s and Neymar’s performances, the gap between Brazil and Argentina, Tite, Eduardo Vargas international play over club, and Colombia’s hopes (28:26). They discuss USWNT’s 4-0 win over Jamaica, the road to the Olympics, and if the roster should include Carly Lloyd (39:03).
