What’s on the line for Argentina in Copa America final?

Messi and Argentina could put the final touch on one of the greatest dynasties soccer has ever seen.

Another Copa America title tonight would be Argentina’s fourth major international championship in a three-year span.

Argentina won Copa America 2021. It beat the Euro 2021 champions, Italy, in the 2022 Finalissima two summers ago. Argentina won the Qatar World Cup in 2022.

What’s on the line for Colombia in Copa America final?

Colombia was unable to compete in the Qatar World Cup, so this Copa America has been a significant experience for the national team and the country.

Argentina vs. Colombia, Copa America final prediction

Argentina 2, Colombia 1: James Rodriguez might manufacture a set piece to get on the board, but Argentina will rely on goals from Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria to win this title like they did their others, behind their elder statesman.

How long is Colombia’s unbeaten streak?

Colombia has not lost in its last 28 matches. Its last loss was a 1-0 defeat to Argentina in an Olympic qualifying match on Feb. 1, 2022.

Argentina’s record in the last three years

Argentina has lost just three of its last 63 matches. Their last three losses: to Brazil in the Copa America 2019 semifinal; to Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup opener; and to Uruguay in Olympic qualifying last November.

Will it be Messi’s last game with Argentina?

Messi, the 37-year-old Inter Miami star in Major League Soccer, could possibly play his last match in a major tournament for Argentina during the Copa America final. Although Messi has left the door open on playing in World Cup 2026, pending his health and desire to keep playing, this match could be his last in a major tournament if he changes his mind.

Tonight’s match will be the final one in an Argentine jersey for Angel Di Maria, the big-game scorer who has helped Messi lift the international monkey off his back during the club’s recent run of championships.

When will Messi retire? Here’s what he said about retirement

Messi, 37, has left the door open about playing in the 2026 World Cup. Here’s what he’s said earlier this year about when he could potentially retire.

Uruguay vs. Canada, Copa America third-place match result

Luis Suarez, the Inter Miami star and Uruguay’s leading scorer, came to his country’s rescue with a late goal in the final minutes of stoppage time to force a tie and penalty shootout. Suarez also kicked the game-winning penalty kick to help Uruguay beat Canada 2-2 (4-3 on penalties) in the Copa America third-place match.

Canada finished Copa America 2024 in fourth place, but with an outstanding showing ahead of World Cup 2026.
