Copa America Schedule 2016: Live Stream, TV Info, Odds for Sunday Group Fixtures
The 2016 Copa America shifts its attention to Group C on Sunday, as Mexico, Uruguay, Jamaica and Venezuela all get their tournaments under way.
El Tri have been tipped as one of the front-runners to succeed in the United States this summer, and they face Uruguay at Chicago's Soldier Field, while Jamaica and Venezuela clash at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Colombia boosted their bid as one of the early tournament favourites with a 2-0 win over the hosts, the United States, on Friday, but the hunt is on to follow their lead and book a place in the second round.

Jamaica vs. Venezuela: Salomon Rondon First Goalscorer (5-1)
Of the two group fixtures taking place on Sunday, Jamaica's clash with Venezuela boasts fewer star names, particularly in attack, but the latter's Salamon Rondon stands out as being a cut above the rest.
Venezuela are without a win in their last six matches, but West Bromwich Albion forward Rondon has scored each of the team's last two goals, and he took to social media this week to express his Copa America excitement:
One major test awaiting the striker, however, is another Premier League powerhouse in Leicester City captain Wes Morgan, who is coming off the back of a historic season with the Foxes, per Squawka:
Rondon is listed as high as 5-1 to be first goalscorer in Chicago, with neither team carrying much individual firepower, and he could be the man to guide Venezuela to a memorable tournament start.
Jamaica's Clayton Donaldson is closest to the Baggies brute, priced at 7-1, while the bookmakers also favour a 0-0 stalemate, with a scoreless result listed just below that at 6-1.
Mexico vs. Uruguay: Anytime Scorer Doubles
Both Mexico and Uruguay enters Sunday's fray in very strong positions, with El Tri having gone 19 matches without suffering defeat and La Celeste losing just once in their last seven.
Unlike the other Group C clash, both of these sides are packed with attacking stars, and defender Jorge Torres Nilo is wary of the threats his impending foes pose, per ESPN FC's Tom Marshall:
Uruguay were listed as pre-tournament favourites to top Group C, according to Odds Shark, but manager Oscar Tabarez may struggle to mount the same assault without the hamstrung Luis Suarez.
Just as La Celeste have Edinson Cavani to make up for the absence of Suarez, Uruguay have reason to be wary of El Tri frontman Javier Hernandez, as evidenced by Opta statistician Orbinho:
Oddschecker are offering a host of goalscorer doubles for Sunday's showdown, and one can find odds of 11-2 for Hernandez and Cavani both to score or 7-1 for Cavani and Oribe Peralta each to make a mark, along with a raft of other combinations.
Mexico haven't conceded a single goal in their last eight matches across all competitions, though, meaning Uruguay will have a difficult time finding their breakthrough without Barcelona ace Suarez.
