Brazil vs. Haiti 2016 Copa America: How to Watch, TV Info, Live Stream, Rosters and More

Published

It’s the Copa America game we’ve been waiting for…sort of. Brazil and Haiti will do battle on the sod at Camping World Stadium, but there are so many big names missing it will almost seem like some weird Brazil reserve side.

Neymar, of course, is the big name missing from Barcelona, but also gone is Orlando City’s own captain, Kaká, who sustained a muscle strain after appearing in a pre-tournament friendly against Panama. Nevertheless, Brazil still has plenty of star power. European champion Real Madrid’s Casemiro, Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho, and Chelsea’s Willian are all on the roster — and those are just the names you know from the midfield alone.

Other big names for Brazil include defenders Dani Alves (Barcelona) and Felipe Luis (Atletico Madrid), and forward Hulk (Zenit).

Haiti has some familiar names as well. Former Orlando City players Mechack Jerome (Jacksonville Armada) and Jean Marc Alexandre (Ft. Lauderdale Strikers) will represent Haiti, and MLS fans may recognize Sporting Kansas City midfielder Soni Mustavar.

Brazil is 2-0-0 in the all-time series between the two nations, and the Seleção probably won't play with their food tonight, after drawing in the opener against Ecuador, 0-0. You may remember that game as the one in which a really horrific goal should have counted for Ecuador, but didn't. The Haitians are 0-1 after a 1-0 loss to Peru in their Copa opener on Saturday.

So, it may end up being a lopsided result, but it should still be fun to watch Dunga's squad do its thing right here in Orlando. And it's our last chance to host a match in the tournament. Here's all the info you need:
