Argentina – Canada | America’s Cup: Davis at times recalled the score of 2-8… and those are big words

ANDOpening match America’s Cup was decided with goals from Julian and Lautaro this brought three points to the reigning world champion and this tournament against Canada. Americans led by Alphonso Davis They showed a very decent performance and caused serious trouble for the Albiceleste, who ultimately saved the furniture by missing several clear chances in the second half thanks to their captain and star: Lionel Messi.

Davis, a look at the plane that excites the European champion. The Canadian defender and captain, whose future points lie far from Munich and close to Madrid, from time to time – especially in the first half – recalled that whirlwind day of the 8-2 victory over Barcelona (Nahuel was his Semedo today). Sharp in attack and defence, he puts the team on his back against a much stronger side and displays brutal qualities that confirm he is one of the best on the planet in his position. They have a blessed “brown” in the White House.

Historical Messi. The Argentine star is competing in his seventh Copa America and has broken a 71-year-old record. He surpassed Chilean Livingston in his 35th match of the tournament and although it was not his best match, his outburst lit the albiceleste’s path. He saved Mac Allister’s crazy pass that preceded Julián’s goal, missed two very clear one-on-one chances… and ended up giving Lautaro a 2-0 lead. A day that seemed gray to him ended up elevating him as a leading man.

Canadian merits. The Americans showed in their 2024 Copa America debut that the draw with France was no fluke and that they are on the right track. Little by little, interesting football players are being born in the country, and with this smart and vertical proposal, without complexes against the world champion, even when he loses, they take steps forward to become the “rooster” of the national team. football.

“Spider” is always on the alert. Regardless of whether he scores or not, having Julian Alvarez is a real treasure. Even in stagnant matches, the Manchester City striker leaves absolutely everything on the field, with or without the ball. To this he added a nose that characterizes his ability to score first and prove Scaloni right by making a bid in the starting line-up.

The arrival of Bombito to Messi left the whole country in confusion. The Canadian centre-back’s untimely introduction in the final minutes of the game saw the number 10 deal with a good job on his ankle and knee. It was necessary to make an assist, but, fortunately, the opponent was not able to completely influence the Inter Miami player. Relief after a few moments of agony.
