Which tournament this summer has been more entertaining?

Copa has been higher scoring but in a way is a meaningless money grab of a tournament. Euros are pretty diverse, a meaningful tournament, and has some fun underdogs to root for but a lot of the games have been pretty meh. Today there was all of one goal scored in the two games played. Which have y'all enjoyed watching more?

They've each had their high points, but the passion at the Euros from the teams…especially the big underdogs…have made it more entertaining for me.

I've enjoyed watching copa soccer and euro fans. Sure the euros might have some better teams, but copa has had some exciting games.

For me, Copa has had the more entertaining games. The "fans" at Euros been incredibly entertaining in their own right.

Euro is the better and far more meaningful tournament...but I can't imagine it producing anything near the pleasure that I got from the Mexican beat down last night.

Hopefully the Euros will ramp up once they trim the fat. The group stage was always going to be pretty crappy after the money grab expansion.

Neither comes close to WC 2014.

COPA. Why?

Copa has been a lot more entertaining, but Euros have been more technical football.

You say that, but I watched the Peru team against Colombia the other night and was really impressed by their players. It was a mostly young, domestic-based team, but they were surprisingly good at holding onto the ball. They played very smart, and had a good sense of when to hold onto the ball, when to advance, when to pass, etc. I was almost sad to see them go out in the pens.

Peruvians are well coached. I mean they were third in 2015 Copa.

The COPA had a terrible start but has been really good the past few games.

Copa has had better games. Don't really understand the meaningless tournament thing either. Outside of Peru and Brazil, countries are fielding complete rosters and the players are clearly invested emotionally and physically.

This I have definitely noticed. I say meaningless because the tournament was just last year, there is no confed cup spot up for grabs, and this was a blatant money grab by traffic sports/conmebol/concacaf with overpriced tickets.

Tell that to Chile and Argentina. I don't see how anyone can say that they're playing better soccer in France right now

Copa for me. The Euro's have honestly been like what some people say about basketball, "the first 30+ minutes are meaningless, I'll just tune in to see the last 10." It has led to some exciting finishes, but there have been some very, very drab first 80 minutes or so in these games.
Also probably a bit biased because of the US's run, Chile is probably my favorite national team to watch outside of the US, I love watching Argentina, and last night's beatdown was a thing of beauty.

Copa's for me... though I'm partial to SA football..
I've also been able to watch more of them, since they're at night during the week..
But I've enjoyed the Euro's, as well..

Both of these tournaments have entertained me immensely. I'm glad they are in the same summer too.

B/c the level of competition is better at the Euro's.
Both have been fun to watch but the level of play overall have been better at the Euro's even with some of these 0-0.
