The Copa America became a weekly cup for Messi? Individual Cristiano Ronaldo fans, don't embarrass yourself anymore! Speak up by looking at the data!
I have always said that discussing issues is very interesting, especially about Mero. Everyone presents facts and data to increase the fun of the conversation, but the comments of some fans are also very incomprehensible.
For example, when discussing the Copa America, black fans open their weekly cups and close their mouths to help Messi win the tournament for 6 years and 4 times. It's like Messi manipulated the Copa America. Let's briefly list now and see what the Copa America is all about.
The Copa America was first held in 1916, and it has been 105 years since then. It is the oldest intercontinental national team competition in the world. Compared to the Hong Kong Asian Cup in 1956 and the French European Cup in 1960, South American football is far ahead. The Copa Am é rica, formerly known as the South American Football Championship, was renamed to its current name in 1975.
The Copa America has been held 46 times since 1916, and the specific year champions are as follows:

We can clearly see from the holding time of the 46th Copa America that the biggest feature of the Copa America is being flexible and adaptable.
The Copa America is held every two years, once a year, and even once or twice a year. The casualness of the Copa America is similar to the personality of the people of the American continent, thinking about it one by one. This lasted until 75 years.
Starting from 1975, it was renamed as the current "Copa America", and by 1987 it was held every four years. It adopted a format without a host country or a fixed sports stadium, and all competitions were held in stages throughout the year in each member country. The cup competition was held every four years. However, this format is lengthy and cumbersome, similar to the Intercontinental Cup format of the Champions League and the Libertadores Cup, and is not suitable for national team competitions.
So in 1987, it was changed to a biennial tournament, until 2001. During this period, the Copa America matches were basically in line with the international competition system, and the Copa America also earned its title as the World Three Series.
But the problem of the South American Football Association changing over and over has always been present.
They have become a mess again, and since 2001, the Copa America has been held every three years.
But the problem came quickly. From 2001 to 2004 to 2007, with three editions held, the Copa America crashed into the World Cup in 2010. Isn't that just a joke?
The South American Football Association has decided to hold the Copa America in even years between two World Cups in order to coordinate the match calendars of teams from South America with UEFA.
So when we look at history, although the Copa America has been around for the longest time, it is the most casual. Whether it's 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or even years of shutdown, it has happened twice a year. This is due to the lack of rigor and carelessness of South Americans.
So through a simple list, we can clearly see that the so-called Copa America with 6 years and 4 editions is for Messi, which is a crazy statement.
