Messi's Argentina - 14-time champions -
are favourites to win the centenary edition
of the Copa America in the United States,
which kicks off between USA and
Colombia in Santa Clara on Friday.
Defending champions Chile, Uruguay - the
most successful nation with 15 titles - and
Brazil also loom large, but the five-time
Ballon d'Or winner feels hosts USA and
Mexico are in the mix.
"Favourites to win the Cup? The presence
of the United States and Mexico will make
it close," Messi told Mundo Leo , a program
dedicated to the 28-year-old Barcelona
star.
"They will be candidates, not only for
being local, but by the quality that they
have."
Messi, whose Argentina team have been
drawn in Group D alongside Chile, Panama
and Bolivia, added: "It will be different in
all senses, with new national teams, new
grounds - the stadiums will be excellent."
