The Copa America comes to Venezuela
Starting today the soccer world, or at least the South American soccer world, will be focused on Venezuela. That is because the South American soccer tournament, called Copa America, will take place over the next month in Venezuela. It will include all the South American national teams plus Mexico, and to be fair to imperialist countries, the United States.
While soccer is hardly Venezuela's national sport it is gaining in popularity and it should be fun
To host this tournament Venezuela has been busy over the past year building new stadiums and remodeling old ones to serve as the nine different venues where the games will be played. For your viewing pleasure here are some of them:
Merida:
Barquisimeto:
Caracas:
Puerto La Cruz
Maturin
And after a hard day of playing soccer you have to be able to relax:
