Argentina won the 2021 Copa America to claim their fifteenth title and it appears that La Albiceleste are firmly on course to repeat this trick. It’s been a fairly straightforward tournament for a team who claimed three group victories, with Lautaro Martinez scoring in each of these games and three clean sheets being earned.
It appeared as though a slender win would be achieved against Ecuador before the latter scored a late equaliser although Argentina were able to come through on spot kicks despite Lionel Messi missing a penalty. The forward continues to be an integral part of this team, with Canada unlikely to cause an upset in this game.
Jesse Marsch has previously been in charge of the United States men’s team and the American has only been in charge of Canada for a matter of weeks, although he will hope to find a way past Argentina and the key will be to keep things tight. After losing 2-0 in their opener, they were able to shut out Peru and Chile in the group stage.
However, an Argentina win to nil looks to be the best bet here. You can combine the 1-0 and 2-0 winning scorelines to good effect, with Scaloni’s men having the experience of these tournament big matches. It’s hard to see any outcome aside from a victory for a side who will be expecting to line up against Uruguay or Colombia in the final.
