By Tom Gott Lionel Messi missed a penalty in Argentina's shoot-out victory over Ecuador, with Emiliano Martinez coming to his nation's rescue. Argentina looked to be heading to victory after Lisandro Martinez's first-half opener, but Kevin Rodriguez struck to take the game to penalties, where Messi opened things enough with a Panenka-style effort that came back off the crossbar. It mattered not, however, as Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez rose to the occasion once again with two penalty saves to steer Argentina through to the Copa America semi-finals. "I was very angry, I was convinced that I ...

By Amanda Langell Argentina's unbeaten run continues at Copa America 2024 after more heroics from Emiliano Martinez in a penalty shootout no one saw coming. Argentina were the first team to punch their ticket to the Copa America 2024 quarter-finals, comfortably finishing atop of Group A with all nine possible points. Lionel Messi did not play La Albiceleste's last fixture against Peru after suffering a minor groin injury in the match prior, but the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner recovered in time to get the start tonight alongside Lautaro Martinez. The striker earned his start up top after bagg...

By Amanda Langell Argentina take on Ecuador in the first quarter-final match at Copa America 2024, and Lionel Messi is said to be a game-time decision. Argentina unsurprisingly topped Group A at Copa America 2024, winning all three of their matches without conceding a single goal. As Brazil, Uruguay, and Colombia battle on the other side of the bracket, La Albiceleste gets to face Ecuador in their first knockout match of the tournament, a team they have not lost to since 2015. Lionel Messi is a doubt for the match, though, after the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner suffered a minor groin injury a...

By Amanda Langell Ecuador must face their toughest opponents yet at Copa America 2024 as La Tri prepare to meet the unbeaten Argentina in the quarter-finals. Ecuador barely survived Group B at Copa America 2024, advancing to the knockout stage with four points and a second place finish thanks to their goal difference. The standings do not tell the full story, though; Felix Sanchez's squad had to play with ten men against Venezuela after Enner Valencia was sent off, and then faced Jamaica without their suspended captain. With their group stage woes in the past, Ecuador's focus has shifted to th...

By Braden Chalker Just like that, the Copa America 2024 group stage is history. This summer's Copa America group stage had it all: red cards, goals and drama from the first whistle until the last in Group D. The best part is, we still have the quarter-finals and everything after to follow. Players from various nations stepped up to make key saves to keep clean sheets while others got on the scoresheet multiple times to take the lead in the tournament's Golden Boot race. Thousands of fans made their way to stadiums across the United States, hoping to see some of the biggest stars in all of foot...

By Amanda Langell Argentina kicks off the Copa America 2024 knockout stage on July 4 against Ecuador, and Lionel Scaloni has a few tough decisions to make about his lineup. Argentina breezed through the group stage at Copa America 2024, earning all nine points and conceding zero goals against Canada, Chile, and Peru. The reigning Copa America champions topped Group A and therefore get to face Ecuador, the second place finishers from Group B, in the quarter-finals.

By Max Mallow The Copa America 2024 knockout stage bracket is confirmed after Group D wrapped up late Tuesday night. Group D wrapped up with Costa Rica ending its tournament on a high note with a win over Paraguay and a draw between two tournament favorites in Colombia and Brazil. One side of the bracket always looked like it would be more difficult than the other, but Brazil now has the hardest road of any team left after failing to top its group. A disappointing group stage sees The Selecao match up with Uruguay in the quarter-finals. USA, Mexico and Chile all exit the tournament finishing t...

By Joshua Browne Manchester United's hopes of making a fast start to the coming Premier League season have been boosted by confirmation that winger Alejandro Garnacho will not be part of the Argentina squad for this summer's Olympic Games. The Red Devils are gearing up for a hectic pre-season, eager to turn the page after a mostly disappointing 2023/24 campaign. Winger Garnacho is currently dazzling specators in the United States with his performances for Argentina in the Copa America. There had been speculation that he might also represent his country in Paris later this month but, after push...

By Amanda Langell Even without Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni, Argentina still defeated Peru 2-0 to remain perfect in the tournament ahead of the Knockout Stage. Argentina already qualified for the Copa America 2024 quarter-finals after earning six points in their first two matches, therefore Lionel Scaloni rested a majority of his starters against Peru, including Lionel Messi, who is dealing with a minor injury. Instead of the traditional XI that won the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup, La Albiceleste's backups got the opportunity to show their manager what they bring to the team. How t...
