The draw for the 2015 tournament being held in Chile took place yesterday. Some interesting groups for the June-July 2015 tournament, I fancy Chile to do quite well with it being held in their country.

Group A

Chile

Mexico

Ecuador

Bolvia

Group B

Argentina

Uruguay

Paraguay

Jamaica

Group C

Brazil

Colombia

Peru

Venezuela

Is is still the case that invitees (a joke in itself IMO) have to play U23 teams?

Jamaica are rubbish so they should get horsed in that group anyway, but with kids, doubly horsed.

Jamaica and Mexico have the Gold Cup coming up in 2015 and won't be playing full strength teams.

The winner of the Gold Cup could qualify for the Confederations Cup in 2017.

They had a bobsleigh team once! ;)

Don't think it's the case any more but this isn't exactly definitive (from Wiki)...

"Previously, in 2011, Mexico and Costa Rica were restricted to fielding Under-22 teams for the 2011 Copa America.[15] In November 2014, Mexican coach Miguel Herrera suggested that the age restrictions for the edition 2015 have been lifted commenting that "We will come with the full Mexican team...not with the A team or the B team. We have the freedom to bring our best players".[16] Four days earlier, Herrera said that his priority will be the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup as it offers a chance of qualifying for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.[17]"
