The third date of the group stage of the Copa América 2024 promises emotions, as those classified for the quarterfinals, their position to assemble the keys and the eliminated teams will be defined.
Only 8 teams will remain in the race, while another eight will go home. And everything will be known between this Saturday, June 29 and Tuesday, July 2, when six games will be played (two per group).
However, there will be three crucial games in this Cup, which are considered true finals, and which will define the fate of the competitors.
It must be remembered that the two matches of each day, which are from each group, will be played simultaneously.
Group A
Saturday, June 29
7:00 pm: Argentina vs. Peru
7:00 pm: Canada vs. Chile
The most attractive match is Canada vs. Chile, since the winner will accompany the Albiceleste to the quarterfinal round. The tie favors the North American team, so those led by Ricardo Gareca will play everything for everything.
Argentina is practically guaranteed first place, however it will seek to add against the Peruvians, to avoid a surprise.
B Group
Sunday, June 30th
7:00 pm: Jamaica vs. Venezuela
7:00 pm: Mexico vs. Ecuador
Another duel in which the winner qualifies for the quarterfinals is the case of Mexicans against Ecuadorians; The tie favors Ecuador.
Venezuela, already qualified, needs a point to seal its first place.
Group C
Monday July 1
8:00 pm: Bolivia vs. Panama
8:00 pm: United States vs. Uruguay
The most important game will be between the team host and the charrúasand anything can happen: Uruguay needs to add points to be first, but the United States could take the top spot if they win by 4 goals, something that seems impossible…but.
Panama needs to win and hope that the local team does not beat the Uruguayans, to be in the quarterfinals.
Group D
Saturday, June 29
7:00 pm: Costa Rica vs. Paraguay
7:00 pm: Brazil vs. Colombia
No doubt Brazil vs. Colombia It is the last big game of the group stage, since first place is at stake, but also because the classification of the Brazilian team would be at risk. If there is a winner, he will be in first place; If there is a tie, Colombia passes in 1st place.
Costa Rica should beat Paraguay and hope that Colombia does the same with Brazil, to dream of reaching the quarterfinals.
