I'll be in Colombia the same time this is going on. I've never been to a soccer match live but wanted to see one for a while now. Is this worth watching, or is it a bunch of no-names? Brazil has some talent I know of that I'd like to see in person (Neymar). Tickets are cheap as hell.

If I was in the country it was being played in, yes. I wouldn't travel somewhere for it though.

I really doubt that anyone that stars on a national team like Neymar would play but I'd also think that Colombia will be a pretty good host country with a great turnout.
I'd think it would be cool but don't expect stars.

Don't expect stars, but expect future stars and exciting young players. I'd go for sure.

found this on the official site for Brazil:
Key players
Neymar (forward), Lucas Gaucho (attacking midfielder), Casemiro (midfielder)

LINK

There are a lot of global powers participating. Spain, England, Argentina, Brazil, etc.

Go if you have the chance. Don't think twice about it.

I'd be pretty surprised if any player that's already become a regular for their national team will still be included but I could be wrong.

I think you'll see many players that will be stars at bigger clubs in a couple of years -- Erik Lamela for Argentina who just signed at Roma for ex -- but if you're deciding only based on guys like Neymar I doubt they'll be there.

neymar isn't going to be there. i would tell you to go watch spain, but thiago alcantara isn't going to be there

if you go, you'll probably see a decent game, and you are bound to see a couple of them later on
