In a naked money grab to go after the sizable Brazilian ex pat and tourist market, Copa America announces Brazil will be the top seed of Group B and play in the Citrus Bowl June 8. Two other games featuring lower seeded teams from two other groups will be announced later.

USA in SF, Chicago, and Philly.
 
with the games assigned to Orlando we'll probably get the following:
Peru (4rd seed) vs Concacaf team (3th seed)
Paraguay (3rd seed) vs Concacaf team (4th seed) or crappy Conmebol team (Venezuela or Bolivia)
Brazil vs one of the crappy teams.

We won't get any of the decent teams here (Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, etc)
Seed 1: Brazil, Argentina, USA, Mexico
Seed 2: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay
Seed 3: Costa Rica (may be seeded 2), Paraguay, Bolivia (may be 4th seed), Concacaf 2
Seed 4: Venezuela, Peru, Concacaf 3, Concacaf 4

We needed a 1st seed vs 2nd seed game or a second round game. Orlando got shafted
