Buenos Aires — The Argentine soccer association says Japan has pulled out of July's Copa America for the second time due to problems forming a team following March's earthquake and tsunami.The AFA, the Copa America host, quoted JFA president Junji Ogura on its website Monday saying "the majority" of European clubs with Japanese players have refused to release them for the July tournament.Ogura was quoted as saying it would be difficult to call up Japan-based players because delays caused by the natural disasters had forced changes to the domestic soccer schedule.
