Competitions fall like flies. After Euro 2020, it's Copa America's turn - yes, there was one more this year - to be postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the South American Confederation of football (Conmebol). We must "protect the health of South American football" during this pandemic, said the South American football authority.
