Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Lionel Scaloni confirmed that Lionel Messi will play tonight.

“Leo is good. He will be playing tomorrow,” Argentina's head coach said. “It’s an easy decision for me. It’s a fairly honest decision: I ask him how he feels. If he says ‘I’m not good,’ then he will play the last 30 minutes. When he’s available, he will play.

"It's up to me to decide and when I see he's in good condition, even if he's not 100% he will still play. Even when he's not at his best, he still has a lot to give."

At Copa America, fouling isn't just rampant, it's an art form.

From Marcelo Bielsa's high-pressing forwards to Argentina's streetwise defenders, there have been plenty of examples of subtle but effective foul play that are proving a key part of teams' tactical armoury.

But how do teams get away with it? Stuart James and Thom Harris explain how at the link below.

Jesse Marsch watched the 1994 World Cup semifinal between Italy and Bulgaria at the Meadowlands as a Princeton student, and later his formative coaching years were in New Jersey with New York Red Bulls.

Now he and Canada will try to make history there — plotting Argentina and Messi's Copa America downfall.

Speaking yesterday, Jesse Marsch laid out Canada's plan for defending against Lionel Messi.

"We didn't do well enough with Messi last match, he was able to run free at our goalkeeper too much," Canada's head coach said. "We won't man-mark, but we will certainly place an emphasis on how to defend him. How to keep track of him will be really important, and the things that make it difficult for him like limiting his space is our number one thing.

"We don't want him to run free at our back line like last game. But we all know he's the greatest player to ever play the game, the respect we have for him and certainly the stadium will reflect that tomorrow, but it's always a privilege to play against a player like him."

What do Diego Maradona, Cristian Romero and Osvaldo ‘Ossie’ Ardiles have in common?

The answer, of course, is that they have all won the World Cup with Argentina AND pulled on the shirt of Tottenham Hotspur.

Since they were founded in September 1882, hundreds of players have represented Spurs, and they have had just under 50 permanent managers. Only 10 players — 11 if we cheekily include Maradona’s appearance in Ardiles’ testimonial, and two of the managers hail from Argentina — but the bond runs much deeper than that.

Lionel Messi loves it.

Playing in the tournament's opening game, Lionel Messi made a piece of history becoming the all-time record appearance maker in Copa America history.

Messi recorded a game-high six shots worth an expected goals figure of 0.69 but failed to score. He did, however, assist Lautaro Martinez's goal for his 30th career direct goal contribution in the competition.

He also made seven passes that broke through Canada's final defensive line, more than twice as many as any other player in the match.

At halftime in the tournament's opening match, Canada had taken seven shots against Argentina, the most any side had managed against them in a first half since November 2021. Canada's expected goals total of 0.73 at that point exceeded Argentina's 0.56.

That's not to say Argentina didn't threaten in the opening 45 minutes though. They created nine big scoring chances in the first half against Canada, tied for their most since at least 2013.

Argentina 2-0 Canada (Alvarez, Martinez)

Copa America 2024 began on June 20 with a match between Argentina and Canada at a sold-out Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Canada competed very well and could've taken the lead against the world champions, but couldn't quite find their shooting boots.

Still goalless at halftime, Argentina did what all good teams do in the second half: they found a way. Goals from Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez were enough to see off Jesse Marsch's side despite their best efforts.

Can Canada pull off a massive upset today? Or will Argentina roll right into the final?

So far, the best comment has been provided by a user named Timeisnonsensical: It's interesting that they've played before. I don't know who that'll benefit more, but Canada surely won't be intimidated. They've already got the icebreaker out of the way.

When Stephen Eustaquio walks onto the MetLife Stadium pitch to play arguably the most important game of his national team career, he’ll take a few moments to himself.

The Canada vice-captain will be thinking about the people who were always closest to him and who would have pined to watch him play against World Cup champions Argentina in the Copa America semifinal.

He’ll be thinking about how to play with purpose.

“If you asked me at 20 years old if, in every training session and every game, I was thinking about it being the last game of my life?” Eustaquio told The Athletic in an interview. “No, I was a kid, I was naïve. But now, I have to take into consideration: ‘OK, what am I here for?’”

Over the last year, Eustaquio’s life has changed in a way no one should have the misfortune of experiencing. Yet when he plays for Canada, he now realizes how much his life has come full circle, and how playing for his country has given him an opportunity.

Not just for him, of course. But instead, to honor the memory of his parents who died recently, and in tragic circumstances. Follow the link below to read on.
