Whether you’re a big soccer fan or not, you’ve probably wondered what the results will be for today’s Copa America games. Argentina will face Colombia in the semifinals. Both countries have been to the final twice, the first time in 1993 and the second time in 2004. In both games, Argentina won 1-0, while the second time, Colombia won 2-1. Colombia is looking for its first Copa America final after six previous semifinals at neutral sites. They’ve only won once at home in that time.
The South American Football Confederation has changed the schedule for the Copa America 2021 tournament, which will now feature ten teams. Venezuela and nine-time champion Brazil will play each other in the opening game on June 13. After being postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition will now feature a full field of competitors. Qatar and Australia withdrew due to the event’s fixture congestion, but still managed to be added to the event. Colombia originally planned to host the event, but it was axed after protests broke out.
The Copa America tournament is the biggest international football tournament in South America. Each tournament takes place every three to five years, depending on other international competitions. In the current tournament, every country in the CONMEBOL jurisdiction of South America competes. Two more countries are invited to the tournament to make up the full field of 12. The competition consists of group stage and knockout rounds. With a wide array of teams, it is impossible to predict which team will make it to the final.
The final of the Copa America 2021 tournament will take place in Rio de Janeiro on July 10. The last edition of the competition took place in 1993, and Argentina hasn’t won the trophy since. The defending champion, Brazil, is the team to beat in the final. So, what will happen on the Maracana stadium? There are plenty of reasons to expect the final to be a thriller.
Argentina are leading this game 1-0. Angel Di Maria scores a stunning goal over Ederson to give the hosts the advantage. After the break, Argentina will be able to reassess their attack. However, they are still lacking in the attacking department and will need to find another way to 7mscore. Hopefully, they will score today! This will give them hope that the Copa will be their first major international honour.
Argentina and Colombia are having a physical battle at the end of the half. The teams are conceding a few loose fouls. Lautaro felt that Mina fouled him, but Mina denied his claim. Both teams are showing more attacking teeth in the second half. However, Martinez is the busiest goalkeeper in the Copa and Lo Celso is booked for a clumsy tackle on Barrios.
