Argentina is eyeing back-to-back Copa America titles, but first, they must beat Canada again.
The first Copa America semifinal pits reigning champions and the world's top-ranked team, Argentina, against the tournament's Cinderella story, Canada. Argentina, the heavy favorites, have barely stumbled on their way to the semifinals, with Lionel Messi playing a more behind-the-scenes role in what could be his final international tournament. Canada, led by new head coach Jesse Marsch, has surprised many with their unexpected run to the final four. This intriguing matchup features two teams with different points to prove.
