Argentina vs Colombia Copa America Preview
Argentina’s 14 Copa America titles are second only to Uruguay’s 15, but La Albiceleste haven’t won it all since 1993.
Star forward Lionel Messi, who’s been with the senior club since 2005, is still seeking his first major trophy with the national team, and his chances are running out.
“I don’t know if I’ll be in the next World Cup,” Messi told Fox Sports Argentina, according to ESPN. “I’ve got to see if my body holds up.
“Today I feel great, very well physically, but I’m [almost] 32 years old and I don’t know how it’s going to go.
“A lot of things can happen. I hope I don’t have any serious injuries.”
Argentina’s World Cup triumphs came in 1978 and 1986. Messi led La Albiceleste to Copa America title matches in 2007, 2015, and 2016 and to the 2014 World Cup final. He also guided them to gold at the 2008 Olympics, the nation’s second consecutive first-place finish at the summer games.
“I want to finish my career having won something with the Argentine national team, or if not having tried as many times as possible,” Messi said, per ESPN.
“I do not want to be left with the feeling that it did not happen and I let opportunities pass by.”
Argentine defender Sergio Aguero, 31, joined the senior club a year after Messi’s arrival.
“I’m more anxious to be a champion for Messi than for me,” Aguero said, according to Goal.com.
“Hopefully one day it happens.
“It’s his dream and everyone’s dream. I put myself in his place and I want to try to do my best for him to lift the Copa America.
“It’s been a long time that he comes here and he suffers. I also suffer.
“We know what he can bring and the rest have to be mentally prepared not to fail.”
Fellow Group B inhabitants Colombia have claimed the Copa America title just once, in 2001. They finished in third place in 2016, falling to eventual winners Chile in the semi-finals.
Los Cafeteros won a pair of friendlies 3-0 in preparation of this year’s tournament, besting Panama and Peru.
Captain Radamel Falcao scored from the penalty spot in the 45th minute for his side’s third goal against Panama. Head coach Carlos Queiroz replaced the apparently ailing forward with Duvan Zapata at halftime.
“I’m fine, it was just part of the game,” Falcao said, according to Goal.com.
“But there’s nothing to worry about. It was just a knock.”
Zapata again subbed in for the captain at the midway mark against Peru, scoring in stoppage time to put Colombia up three.
