Despite losing all three games and crashing out in the group stage, the <em>Reggae Boyz<\/em> gained some crucial experience in their first-ever appearance in the Copa America. And just weeks later, they shocked the CONCACAF world by knocking out the mighty USA and crashing the final of the Gold Cup.<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/?MyAffiliatesID=NxA1Ko962cHfiwGMXs_PKGNd7ZgqdRLk\/36\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-110647 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/250x130_COPA-AMERICA-CENTENARIO_v2.gif\" alt=\"250x130_COPA-AMERICA-CENTENARIO_v2\" width=\"250\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>The\u00a0Jamaicans\u00a0will be hard-pressed to make another sort of run at the Copa America Centenario, though, especially if they still can&#8217;t solve their\u00a0big problem: scoring goals.\u00a0They failed to score in all three games in last year&#8217;s Copa, and have scored just three\u00a0goals in their last five games heading into this year&#8217;s tournament.<\/p>\n<p>However, they weren&#8217;t blown out of the water in last year&#8217;s tournament despite facing some tough teams like Argentina and Uruguay, as their defense &#8211; led\u00a0by Leicester City&#8217;s English Premier League-winning captain Wes Morgan &#8211; kept them in all three matches.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Reggae Boyz<\/em> got\u00a0a great\u00a0result in their final tune-up match, a 2-1 win over reigning Copa America champions Chile. That should help give them the belief that they can topple\u00a0a Venezuelan team that is decidedly less\u00a0fearsome than the other South American sides they&#8217;ve faced.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Venezuela (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/soccer\/2016-copa-america-centenario-group-stage\" target=\"_blank\">+142<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>Venezuela&#8217;s Copa America history is pretty awful. They&#8217;re just one of two South American countries along with Ecuador never to have won the tournament, and have escaped the group stage just twice. In last year&#8217;s edition, they failed to capitalize on a shock 1-0 win over Colombia in the tournament opener as they lost their next two games to Peru and Brazil and exited in the group stage.<\/p>\n<p>The Venezuelans are\u00a0in the middle of a dreadful 15-game run which has resulted in just one victory. However, they are very much capable of halting\u00a0that horrific skid against Jamaica. That&#8217;s because <em>La Vinotinto<\/em> will have the best attacking player on the pitch in Salomon Rondon.<\/p>\n<p>The West Bromwich Albion striker already has 16 international goals in 49 caps, making him the country&#8217;s third most prolific goalscorer ever. One of those 16 goals was the lone strike in their aforementioned win over Colombia last year.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 22-year-old midfielder Juanmi (six caps) may still be inexperienced in this level of international competition, but he&#8217;s definitely got the quality to be one of the standout performers along with Rondon against the <em>Reggae Boyz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Jamaica still fails to score, but does earn its first ever Copa America point with a 0-0 draw (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/soccer\/2016-copa-america-centenario-group-stage\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+200<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and in on the Copa America Centenario\u2019s sizzling summer soccer action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/?MyAffiliatesID=NxA1Ko962cHfiwGMXs_PKGNd7ZgqdRLk\/36\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-110648 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/620x110_COPA-AMERICA-CENTENARIO_v2.gif\" alt=\"620x110_COPA-AMERICA-CENTENARIO_v2\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reggae Boyz of Jamaica turned into\u00a0men with\u00a0their very admirable performances\u00a0in two international tournaments last year.
