The three major controversies of the Copa America are heartbreaking! Inviting the Chinese national football team again next year may still be rejected

Although the Copa America has come to an end and the host team Brazil has finally won the championship as they wished, the controversy surrounding the Copa America is still ongoing. Especially regarding Messi's shelling of the South American Football Confederation, it seems that there may still be a sequel. From the organization of this year's Copa America, it can be seen that Brazil, as the host country, has many shortcomings compared to hosting the World Cup in 2014. Especially the three major injuries of the court, referee, and AVR almost destroyed this Copa America!

First, let's talk about the competition venue. This is not only Messi, Bidar and Jro roast about it, but also the coach of the host Brazil team, Dieter, was very dissatisfied. Previously, he roast that if Brazil wants to hold the Copa America, it should improve the site conditions, which will affect the players' performance.

Next are VARs and referees. This is a problem for South American Football Confederation, as VAR plays an extremely important role from the group stage to the knockout stage. Due to the fact that this was the first time VAR was used in the Copa America, there was some controversy. In the match between Chile and Peru, VAR scored 2 goals, and Chile was ultimately eliminated in a penalty shootout, failing to qualify for the final against Brazil, causing the final to lose some of its popularity. In addition, Uruguay was eliminated after losing three goals in a game.

The multiple controversial decisions made by the referee are also open to discussion, such as the game in which Messi was sent off. In fact, before this, Bidar also made a physical foul. He reached out and touched a small magic fairy, and the referee only gave him a yellow card. This foul was also completed in a dead ball state. The correct penalty for Messi's foul should be a yellow card warning.

Due to the three major factors of referee, venue, and VAR, overall, this Copa America was not very successful.
