Beginning with bitter endings or beginnings with happy endings. Argentina faces the Copa América 2024, in the United States, as current champion and with the hope of making history. With nothing to prove, it could be the last competition for two of the players who have had the most impact on the South American country: Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María. The first will play at “home”. The second, with the uncertainty of his future.
The team of Lionel Scaloni will face Canada in what will be the opening of the competition, with the North Americans hoping to obtain good results from the hand of Jesse Marsch. This edition, which promises to be great as it is made up of selections from Conmebol and Concacafwill test the Albiceleste’s ability to retain its continental title, giving continuity to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Something unprecedented for a team from America.
With a more mature generation, Argentina will move between the permanent ones that have always been there and the new ones that have made room for themselves. The current generation of the country is already a fact, and the demand will not be less with them despite what has been achieved previously. Up front, Alphonso Davis will be the first step they will have to overcome to reach the last match in Miami, which will once again proclaim the champion.
