Following Colombia's 2-0 victory over the United States in the opening game, the 2016 Copa America kicks off in full on Saturday with three matchups from one coast to the other. Unfortunately, following Douglas Costa's release from the Brazil squad due to an injury, there are no Bayern Munich players taking part in today's games.
However, with three matches to choose from, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Costa Rica was the surprise team of the competition and put everyone on notice that they had arrived. Combining attractive play with brute force, the Ticos won a group featuring Uruguay, England, and Italy. Back on the international stage for the first time since the controversial 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Costa Rica will have to do things without Keylor Navas, as their fantastic goalkeeper is out of the tournament with an injury.
Haiti vs. Peru
Location: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington
Time: 5:30 pm local time, 7:30 pm ET
TV/Streaming: USA (Fox Sports 2, Fox Soccer 2 Go, Fox Sports Go, Univision, Univision Deportes, fuboTV), Canada (Univision), Germany (Ran Livestream)

Haiti surprised everyone last summer at the 2015 Gold Cup by making it to the knockout rounds, but things haven't been going as well in the early rounds of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. It will be interesting to see if Haiti can put together another solid few matches, or if they're doomed to play "destroyed minnow".
Brazil vs. Ecuador
Location: Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California
Time: 7:00 pm local time, 10:00 pm ET
TV/Streaming: USA (Fox Sports 1, Fox Soccer 2 Go, Fox Sports Go, Univision, Univision Deportes, fuboTV), Canada (Univision), Germany (Ran Livestream, Kabel Eins)

One of the favorites pre-tournament, Brazil has been rocked by injuries to the squad. Luiz Gustavo, Rafinha, Kaka, Ricardo Oliveira, Douglas Costa and Ederson have all pulled out due to injuries, while Neymar is being held out in order to play in the 2016 Rio Olympics. The stars of this Brazil team will be Coutinho and Willian. Can those two lead the Brazilians to another Copa America title?
