Friday Afterschool Special: Copa Cabana
The Copa America Centenary tournament begins today. Sixteen teams from North and South America will compete in 10 cities across the United States, and some of the biggest names in the game will be on American soil — including Messi. Argentina and Mexico are the favorites to win the competition. But it should be exciting all the way through the final match on June 26.
But if you only have time for a little bit of soccer this month, here are the games you need to watch:
USMNT Copa Primer
The The U.S. Men’s National Team’s first Copa match is tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET against Colombia. Kid Reporter Zach Johnson has everything you need to know about the USMNT and its hopes for the tournament.
Swamp Soccer
Whatever happens in the Copa tournament, we can all hope that no one has to play a game in a swamp — which was the fate of FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo last night thanks to the epic rain falling on Texas right now
Warriors Win, Kerr Smash!
The 2016 NBA Finals got off to a great start — if you’re the Golden State Warriors. The defending champs dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104-89, to take a 1-0 series lead. With that outcome, you’d think the Cavs would be the ones with a reason to want to break stuff. But you’d be wrong. Because Golden State coach Steve Kerr totally had some frustration to vent, and he took it out on a defenseless clipboard.
Mamba Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts!
Didn’t take long for Kobe Bryant to find his first post-basketball job: Ghostbuster! Maybe he can capture the evil spirits haunting LeBron’s squad right now…
