Watch Uruguay Vs. Japan Copa America Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Group C Match Online
After their 4-0 drubbing of Ecuador in the Copa America Group C opener, Uruguay and their Man of the Match Luis Suarez may have moved into position as favorites to take what would be their 16th title in the tournament that dates back to 1919. In their group, Chile — defending champions in back-to-back Copa America tournaments — would appear to pose the only real threat to Uruguay. Now they take on one of the tournament’s two “guest teams,” Japan, who have not even sent their “A” roster to South America to take part in the prestigious championship of that continent, according to SB Nation. In the match that will live stream from Brazil, a win will put Uruguay into the knockout stage without even facing Chile yet.
