Argentina vs Canada: Copa America 2024 Semi-Final Preview
Argentina vs Canada in the Copa America 2024 semi-final is set to be a thrilling encounter at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The match, which will take place on Wednesday, July 10, has been compared to a David vs Goliath battle by Canada’s coach, Jesse Marsch.
The favorites are Argentina, the reigning World Cup champions of 2022, and the top team in the FIFA rankings. Meanwhile, Canada, ranked 48th in the world, is making its debut in the tournament. “They’ve only lost twice in five years,” Marsch said of Argentina. “Lionel Messi is the best player to ever play the game. But we believe we have a chance and that’s the way we’re preparing.”
Despite a 2-0 loss to Argentina in their opening match on June 20, where Messi assisted both goals, Canada remains confident. They advanced to the semi-finals after a penalty shootout victory against Venezuela. “We know how good Argentina is because we played against them but we also had success in certain moments,” Marsch told reporters.
Argentina’s coach, Lionel Scaloni, confirmed that Messi, who played through a muscle injury in the quarterfinal win over Ecuador, will be part of the match. “He’s doing okay and he’s going to be part of the match,” Scaloni said. “Even when he’s not at his best, he still has a lot to give.”
