The Argentina vs Canada Copa America semi-final match saw tension between the two teams aiming to reach the final. Although the Canada team played well enough in the match, personally I would say they attacked enough but could not succeed. However, the Argentina team also put in an outstanding performance which saw them score a goal in the first half to equalize. Later on in the match Canada team could not equalize and after halftime Argentina team succeeded in scoring with a more brilliant attack. Messi's goal ended the match 2-0 and Argentina qualified for the Copa America final. However, the next match is between Uruguay and Colombia, the team that enters the final will face Argentina.
The Copa America 2024 season gets underway today with the first semi-final match between Argentina and Canada. The first half of this match is already over where Argentina team is still leading by one goal. Manchester United player Julian Alvarez of Spiderman fame fooled the goalkeeper with his amazing skills and put a ball into the Canadian net. Argentina team is ahead in this match but we don't see good ball passing from them. After Argentina scored the one goal they started to play a bit of a sloppy game but Canada was passing safely and attacking Argentina regularly.
Maybe in the second half Canada will be more desperate and try to attack Argentina's On defense more because they are already behind. Messi took two wrong shots in the first half and must improve his shots and put them in the net for the good of his team.

We are into the final ten minutes of the game now, and most likely the goal from Lionel Messi and Argentina's second has definitely put the match beyond the reach of the Canadian, as the Canadian team now look to have conceded the defeat and just looking to hear the final whistle, even their because attacking threats have been substituted of the game, and Alphonso Davies also seemed to have picked up an injury and couldn't continue the game, all left now is to find out who Argentina would be facing in the final.

Apart from that, I am sure that Argentina will continue to make its best efforts, because Argentina also at this moment has the status of defending Copa America champion. Therefore, even though Argentina only plays against Canada in this semifinal round, I am sure Argentina will still play its best players, of course to ensure they qualify for the final round in the regular 90 minutes.
Di Maria is likely to retire after the Copa America. DI Maria will definitely want to win the last copa of his career. However, Argentina is a very organized team. There is strong bonding between the players. The players are also very confident. Also Scaloni's match strategy is excellent. In every match we saw different match strategy of Argentina. For these reasons, Argentina is considered as the most favorite team of this year's COpa.
Uruguay and Colombia have strong squads. And the bonding between the players of these two teams is also very strong. Argentina may not have any problem to reach the final. But winning the final match and becoming the copa champion is challenging for Argentina.

Although Brazil is strong, we have not seen any remarkable performances from them in this year's Copa America. They are strong only on paper, which is evident in their performance on the field.Tomorrow we may witness another thrilling moment. Argentina, the current champions of the Copa America, will face Canada tomorrow in the first semi-final. Because Argentina team is strong, everyone is predicting that Argentina will win, even everyone considers this team as the favorite. Furthermore, Argentina and Canada will have the opportunity to face each other twice in this year's Copa America with tomorrow's match. It won't be a surprise if Argentina wins this match as they have beaten Canada in a match before.
Right now, Uruguay and Argentina are the two favorites who are expected to make it to the final without underestimating Colombia and Canada. The final between Argentina and Uruguay looks better compared to other scenarios, but it is still possible to get other teams to the final instead of just Argentina and Uruguay.
I still can't believe that Brazil that was doing very well during the time of Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima are now finding it difficult to win matches and what amazes me is that they have a very nice squad but yet they are not still performing well because Vinicius Jr, Endrick, Rodrygo, Raphinha, Lucas Paquetá are all quality players that the Brazilian team have and if not for a knee injury that Neymar Jr has he would have featured in the tournament so these are great players that should have elevated the Brazilian team but nothing is being done at all. May be it looks like more of a coach challenge but if the National finds the team coach not fit enough for the team they should employ the Service of another coach to lead the team to victories like they do in the old times like I just miss the Brazilian pattern of play those days of Ronaldinho, wish they can rebuild the team and become more better again.
The decline of the Brazilian national team began after the elimination by France in the 2006 World Cup, when the generation that was world champion in 2002 ended and a new phase began with a new coach and a new squad, a squad that was the basis for the 2010 World Cup...
I define one thing as the main culprit for all of Brazil's problems: CBF... from the poor choice of coaches (Mano Menezes and Dunga) to the terrible habit of always scheduling friendlies for the Brazilian national team against small teams with no world standing... the entire construction of the squad for a 4-year effort aimed at the World Cup was always hampered by stubborn coaches with no playing style... What is happening today is just the result of what was done in the past to create a winning team, in other words: nothing....
Today's players are completely mediocre compared to the gold standard that the Brazilian national team has always been, they are hoping for Vini Junior, Militão, Paquetá... the last outstanding player on the Brazilian national team It's Neymar, the rest are just ordinary players. I really miss when the Brazilian team scared the opponents.

Canada has only one win and the last draw with Venzuela 1-1 ended in penalties while Canada was lucky to qualify by winning.It's like going back to the original Argentina vs Canada match but it's true the result will remain the same that's my current prediction about the semi-final match whereas if Canada can hold the draw until penalties maybe they will test their luck again.
Argentina must avoid the penalty shootout because if that happens, maybe luck will be on Canada's side even though Martinez is known to be good at penalty shootouts.
Even though this is a semifinal match, of course Argentina is still at a better level than Canada. Also, in their match in Group A, Argentina also managed to beat Canada with a score of 2-0 and thus, even though this is a semifinal match, I believe Argentina still has a very good chance of winning. Indeed, in football anything can happen, because Brazil was also eliminated at this moment, so Argentina also needs to remain alert even though Argentina has been confirmed to win against Canada.
Apart from that, I am sure that Argentina will continue to make its best efforts, because Argentina also at this moment has the status of defending Copa America champion. Therefore, even though Argentina only plays against Canada in this semifinal round, I am sure Argentina will still play its best players, of course to ensure they qualify for the final round in the regular 90 minutes.
Brazil work is over in the Copa America, they will bear all the mistakes that resulted in having to go home early from this tournament. The coach became the center of fans' anger because he chose players who were unable to protect Brazil big name. Dorival Junior position will be shaken due to shocks coming from various angles due to his failure to handle Brazil. Overall Brazil's game was very bad in this tournament, disappointment from the Legends emerged before the competition started after seeing the official squad released. Learning from experience is very necessary, Brazil this time was very bad and worse than imagined, facing a team that played with 10 players they were unable to win.
It's really shameful to see Brazil can't beat these teams, I see that Brazil doesn't lack of players, they actually have many players who play in top teams and top leagues. Dorival Junior is deserve to be shaken, he didn't contribute a lot even though he's already a veteran manager in Brazil first league.They should bring back Tite to manage Brazil senior team, recently he's successful for temporary bring Flamengo to top 1 position.
PSG had Messi, Neymar and Mbappe among other good players and they did not win anything except French Ligue 1 as usual. Brazil is not different from them at all and having a bunch of top players will not guarantee anything for a team and with no surprises at all, Brazil was kicked from Copa America since the Quarter-final and I think they advanced good regarding their bad performance since I was waiting for them to impress us by leaving in the group stage...
Now the road is opened for Argentina unless they lose by a surprising goal at the end of the game or by penalties.

Brazil, one of the strongest teams in the Copa America, has already been eliminated from the quarter finals, now everyone is waiting for Argentina's match to see how Argentina fares against Canada. Considering the opponent, Argentina is a weaker team than Argentina, so Argentina will definitely be the favorite before the start of this match. Argentina may not have much trouble to overcome this obstacle against Canada.
Canada has a trust issue to their performance when they meet argentina. The trust issue comes after Argentina destroyed them in the group stage. That result will overshadow them in the semi final against Argentina. I don't think Canada has a chance to beat Argentina; Moreover, the stats show how dominant Argentina was in the group stage against Canada. So, I think this will be an easy game for Argentina. But, I still expect Canada to make Argentina struggle by changing their strategy. And, to support my argument, I provide the statistic from the last meeting between Canada and Argentina.
See, how Argentina dominated Canada in the previous meeting. The only way for Canada to get a chance to qualify for the final is to change its strategy. Canada played so badly when they used 4-4-2. I hope Jesse March continues to use 4-2-3-1 because it really fits Canada's style.
But, I'm still rooting for Argentina to win. Canada may change its strategy, but Argentina's quality is still superior to Canada. And last, it won't be easy for Argentina. This is because Jesse March learned from the result in the first group stage meeting.

Is obvious the lapses Brazil is currently having is as a result of inexperienced coach because there is no any other way we can picture were there poor performances is coming from if not from there coach because when we talk about players Brazil is known to be one of the countries that has the highest players, and like you said even there defense line is very strong but what always surprises me is that even with all this quality players they cannot still utilize it very well, imagine as big as Brazil they only won one match out of three matches they played on there group, perhaps they are actually supposed to win all there matches because there was no serious challenge against them on the group and now they have been kicked out from the league. As long as the players of the Brazilian team didn't perform well, the Brazilian team will continue to disappoint their fans like this. Maybe they need a well-organized and experienced coach who can make this Brazil team look formidable again.

Let's not be surprised that the Argentina team, most of us believe to be champions of Copa America might be kicked out the same way Brazil did.
We saw the match surprises that happened in the Euro tournament, Copa America is not far from experiencing it also. We are shocked by Brazil's elimination by Uruguay, another shocking surprise can still happen before the end of Copa America League. Argentina is facing Canada in 2 days. Let's see how the match ends in any of the team favors
Against Canada, who we met before in the group stage, I don't think Argentina will lose again. It won't be a surprise that Argentina will qualify for the final.We saw the match surprises that happened in the Euro tournament, Copa America is not far from experiencing it also.

I think the surprise will be in the final which is likely to meet Argentina vs Uruguay then this is where the surprise will be seen or still Argentina will win.
It is still uncertain who the winners will be but there is high chance the final will be between Argentina and Uruguay, another strong team in this year's competition. Such a final can swing either way because Uruguay can subdue Argentina.

Brazil is not having a good time at the moment. Apart from being regularly defeated in big tournaments, they are also defeated in various friendly matches. It is difficult for Brazil fans to accept such a performance from their team. I think Brazil have good quality players but lack a good quality manager in their team.

Brazil, one of the strongest teams in the Copa America, has already been eliminated from the quarter finals, now everyone is waiting for Argentina's match to see how Argentina fares against Canada. Considering the opponent, Argentina is a weaker team than Argentina, so Argentina will definitely be the favorite before the start of this match. Argentina may not have much trouble to overcome this obstacle against Canada. If Argentina can get past their quarter-final hurdle, they will face some tougher opponents in the semi-finals. In the last Copa America we saw Brazil and Argentina finally play in the finals but this season maybe Argentina will be the finalist and I would put Uruguay as one of the favorites along with Argentina.
They should be strong, but unfortunately they are too selfish which means they cannot perform optimally in the Copa America this time. In the past, when Brazil was still being coached, Tite prioritized collective play. Only Neymar and Vinicius displayed individual skills. The rest is more dominant as a collective game. In the 2021 Copa America, when they were defeated by Argentina, they were just unlucky because they created many opportunities. However, because of the toughness of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, he thwarted Brazil's chances.However, what is happening now is that Brazilian players prioritize individual play and tend to be selfish. The lack of cooperation makes Brazil's game monotonous and their playing style easy to predict.
This is very different from Argentina. They are now more prominent in their collective play, supported by the individual abilities of captains Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria who have above average individual abilities. The results show that Argentina played the most entertaining game and of course very strong. I predict they can beat Canada in the semifinals easily, if they are in the top match it is not impossible that they can win the Copa America trophy again in a row.

Against Canada, who we met before in the group stage, I don't think Argentina will lose again. It won't be a surprise that Argentina will qualify for the final.Well... Brazil is eliminated because this is the worst squad for the national team they always fail in any tournament and it can reach the final in recent years so I think the surprise will be in the final which is likely to meet Argentina vs Uruguay then this is where the surprise will be seen or still Argentina will win.
Brazil failure to qualify for the semifinals seemed to confirm Ronaldinho statement that the squad prepared by Dorival Junior was one of the worst squads in their history. Brazil were eliminated in a painful way, they were unable to overcome Uruguay who played with 10 players in normal time, as a result they were eliminated after going through a penalty shootout. Brazil drastically declining performance no longer reflects their identity as a strong team and also as the owner of the most World Cup titles, the era of the Brazilian team which was very strong in its beautiful game is starting to fade slowly.
Brazil, one of the strongest teams in the Copa America, has already been eliminated from the quarter finals, now everyone is waiting for Argentina's match to see how Argentina fares against Canada.

Although Brazil is strong, we have not seen any remarkable performances from them in this year's Copa America. They are strong only on paper, which is evident in their performance on the field.Tomorrow we may witness another thrilling moment. Argentina, the current champions of the Copa America, will face Canada tomorrow in the first semi-final. Because Argentina team is strong, everyone is predicting that Argentina will win, even everyone considers this team as the favorite. Furthermore, Argentina and Canada will have the opportunity to face each other twice in this year's Copa America with tomorrow's match. It won't be a surprise if Argentina wins this match as they have beaten Canada in a match before.

I would put Uruguay as one of the favorites along with Argentina.
For that, wait for the second semi-final match and watch that match. I don't think Uruguay will make it to the final as they will face strong Colombia in their semi-final match. Just because they beat Brazil in the quarter-finals doesn't mean they're too strong to beat. I don't think like you I think maybe Colombia will reach the final.

Of course, Argentina should be kept as the most favorite with star players like Messi and he can see his best game anytime. Although he didn't play well throughout the Copa America, he might get to see his true potential against Canada. But I think Messi and Martinez can be a high challenge for the Canadian team and Canada coach Jesse Marsh will set different goals to stop them. Argentina team has been performing relatively well in high voltage matches like in the past and I think Argentina can have a good game and win against Canada. But the Canadian team is also very strong and they have performed well to come this far and are very much ready for the finals. Canada coach already said in his statement that they are very much ready to beat Argentina team and they want to beat Argentina by playing the best game of their life. Jump to:
