Argentina vs Paraguay live stream (beIN Sports): Watch online Copa America 2015 football

Argentina will play Paraguay in their opening Copa America 2015 game on Saturday, and Lionel Messi and co will be hoping to get their campaign off to a winning start at the Estadio La Portada in La Serena, Chile. Group B will be a tight one, with Uruguay among three tough South American teams drawn in the group, and that means Argentina will be desperate to claim all three points today to ease the pressure for their coming two group games.

Today's game between Argentina and Paraguay has a scheduled start time of 5.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the beIN Sports network, or online through live stream via the link below.

Argentina are one of the favourites for this year's Copa America, and they will be hoping to improve upon their runners-up medal gained at last year's World Cup in Brazil.

Paraguay on the other hand are not expected to go far, but they are predicted to offer a stern challenge for other teams, and they will not go down easily. Argentina will have to be up for it today, and if they take their opposition lightly today then they could line themselves up for an upset.

The Argentinians will have been deeply disappointed with last year's second place at the World Cup. Where as runners up was no small accomplishment for the team, after going all the way to the Final, they will have felt bitter disappointment to have fallen short at the last hurdle. They will want to make up for that losing feeling by going all the way here at Copa America and claim the title.

The quality and depth of talent in the Argentina squad is amazing, and on paper they should definitely have the players to go all the way, however, when the pressure of competition and knock out football arrives, then experience and character under pressure can help teams get over the line. Whether this Argentina team is ready remains to be seen once they get to the latter stages of this tournament.

Uruguay are clearly Argentina's biggest threat in Group B, however, with the Uruguayans missing several key players this group should be Argentina's for the taking. Coming out top of the group could prove key, as it is likely to provide an easier route to the final and to avoid the other top teams in the early stages of the knock out competition.
