The Copa America Centenario continues on Wednesday night, as a tight Group B begins to sort itself out.
After drawing their opening match against Ecuador, Brazil will look to climb their way into the driver’s seat with a win over Haiti in Orlando (7:30 p.m., Fox Sports 1). The perennial South American power was held to a lackluster scoreless draw with Ecuador in a game they would have lost if not for a controversial call. Haiti, meanwhile, will be fighting for their tournament lives after a narrow loss to group-leaders Peru.
Following that win, Peru will look to seal a spot in the knockout rounds in a clash with Ecuador (10 p.m., Fox Sports 2). The Peruvians are led by Paolo Guerrero, a frequent Copa America contributor who became the nation’s all-time leading scorer with his game-winner against Haiti. Ecuador will look to build on a strong CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying campaign that currently has them joint top of the table.

Enjoy the action.
Orlando can’t sell their stadium, with half of Brazil living in Orlando. I kid you not, half of Brazil does live there…ticket prices are outrageous…playing Haiti doesn’t help either…
What’s the biggest moral victory: not getting totally destroyed by Colombia but still lose 2-0 or getting destroyed by Brazil but scoring a goal on them?
Lmao to that third Brazil goal. The Haitian defender helps up the fallen Brazilian player and then he immediately scores a goal.
This is looking ahead a bit but why aren’t the final group stage games being played simultaneously? USvParaguay kicks off 2 hours before COLvCRC, meaning that the latter match could be known to be pointless (or pretty much so) for both sides from the start…
