The 2024 Copa América will start this Thursday. Argentina, current world champion, will face Canada, at 9pm (Brasília time), in the first round of Group A. The ball rolls at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in Atlanta.
Where to watch: the match will be broadcast on SporTV.
Argentina maintained the base of the squad that won the last World Cup. Striker Lionel Messi continues to be the star of the team led by Lionel Scaloni.
The competition will have a farewell tone for the number 10, who should no longer play in the Copa América. Other players, like Di María, are also close to saying goodbye to the national team.
On the other hand, Canada, which also competed in the 2023 World Cup, wants to maintain its rise.
Now, the team is trying to surprise Argentina to start the competition well. The Canadians’ main players are strikers Buchanan (Internazionale-ITA) and Davies (Bayern Munich-ALE).
Buchanan rejected the idea that Canada will enter the field out of fear of Argentina.
“Nothing like that. The reality is that it feels good. As a player, we want to compete at a high level,” he said.
