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 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.

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 Braden Chalker A handful of Major League Soccer players were among the best performers at the Copa America group stage for their respective countries. As the MLS season continues to roll on despite the ongoing Copa America and Euro competitions, most of the league's best players aren't available for their clubs as they're with their national teams on the biggest stages. While two CONCACAF nations somehow didn't reach the quarter-finals -- we're looking at you, USA and Mexico -- Canada impressed with Jesse Marsch's first tournament in charge while Argentina also weren't too shabby with a cer...

By Amanda Langell Lionel Messi and Argentina kicked off their Copa America 2024 campaign against Canada, and the reigning champions reminded the world just why they are the favorites to win the tournament after a 2-0 win over Jesse Marsch's side. Argentina began their celebrations at Mercedes-Benz Stadium before their match even kicked off. Sergio Aguero presented the 2021 Copa America trophy in front of an overwhelmingly pro-Argentine crowd, and then La Albiceleste took the pitch and started their quest to go back-to-back. How the game unfolded Argentina dominated possession in the first half...

By Braden Chalker Only recently has international soccer started to be kind to the game's greatest-ever player, Lionel Messi. Every player dreams of bringing trophies back to their home country when competing in competitions like Copa America, the Euros and of course, the World Cup. Many players would probably trade fair bit of their club trophies -- if not all of them -- in exchange to lift a World Cup title with their national team. Messi is no exception to that. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has came so close on many occasions to bringing glory back to his native Argentina, but only in ...
