Bayer Leverkusen changed European history

 Diaz became the top scorer with Lionel Messi in the last season. Besides, Luis Sinistera, John Duran, Yasser Asprilla are big hopes for the team. In the midfield is Bayer Leverkusen star Gustavo Puerta. In defense, there are many stars who have conquered Europe in their team. And David Ospina is the faithful soldier under the goal. Besides, veterans like Davidson Sanchez, Juan Cuadrado or Yerry Mina are in the team. Naturally, Colombia will enter the Copa as a big name.

4. United States of America

 The rise of the United States in recent times is quite visible. Christian Pulisic has been the new favorite in the race for CONCACAF regional supremacy for several years now. This year's Cup will be held in the United States. Therefore, the United States can be placed at the top of this list. They went to the round of sixteen in the last World Cup.

 Weston McKenney and Timothy Weah are the mainstays of Italian league team Juventus' midfield. AC Milan have Younes Musa and forward Christian Pulisic. Gio Reina plays for Nottingham Forest. Pulisic will be joined in the forward line by tested stars like Haji Wright and Ricardo Pepi.

3. Uruguay

 Uruguay is the team that has won the Copa America title for a record of 15 times. Although they are third in the power rating in this season, they are the big favorites according to Onel. They lost to Brazil and Argentina in qualifying. Under Marcelo Bielsa, Fede Valverde have given great football.

 The team has no shortage of stars. Captain Fede Valverde is the lifeblood of Real's midfield. This midfielder has the ability to dominate the entire field. In defense is Ronald Araujo who plays for Barcelona. Even without Luis Suarez or Edinson Cavani, Darwin Nunez or Facundo Pelestri's attack isn't bad at all. And considering the form, if Luis Suarez is called up, Uruguay will undoubtedly compete in the Copa America as a stronger team.

 2. Brazil

 The new coach Darival junior team announced yesterday. Considering that team, Brazil's cause for concern may be their midfield. Lucas Paqueta or Douglas Luiz are not proven stars in that sense on the big stage. However, Pakeha has been in great form lately. In defense, Markinos, Eder Militao or Arsenal's star Gabriel Magelhuis will enter the field as big names. Alison Baker or Ederson Moares are under the goal.

But Brazil's area of strength is undoubtedly their attack. Vinicius Jr. is undoubtedly the best star of the era. Playing in a big club like Real Madrid. His teammate Rodrigo Goz is also a big name in the football world. And there is the wonder boy Endrik. Rafinha Diaz or Gabriel Martinelli can also lead Brazil.

1. Argentina

Copa America and current World Cup champion Argentina is considered the potential winner of the Copa America by considering the power rating of Goal.com. The reason is also very natural. Argentine players have been in poor form for a long time. There are multiple stars in each position. The biggest star of the team is one of the greatest Lionel Messi of all time. He will play his last Copa America. Naturally, expectations will be high.

 Like Messi, Angel Di Maria will play his last Copa. But apart from these two, Rodrigo de Paul, Alexis McAllister, Guido Rodriguez or Leandro Paredes could be the trump cards for Argentina. There is balance in all positions in the team. A second Copa America win in a row is therefore not too impossible for Argentina.
