James, Messi

Lionel Messi’s Argentina will face off against James Rodríguez’s Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

Argentina, seeking a record 16th Copa America title, has won 10 consecutive matches and is poised to achieve a rare feat by winning back-to-back Copa America titles, following their 2022 World Cup victory.

Colombia, led by the impressive James Rodríguez, reached the final by defeating Uruguay 1-0 in a heated match, despite being reduced to 10 men after Daniel Muñoz was ejected during first-half stoppage time.

Jefferson Lerma scored the decisive goal in the 39th minute, securing Colombia’s place in the final.

James, who turned 33 on Friday, has been instrumental in Colombia’s journey to the final, earning admiration from his teammates, including Luis Díaz, who has praised James as his idol.

Despite low expectations following a disappointing season at Brazilian club Sao Paulo, James has emerged as arguably the best player of the tournament, leading Colombia to their first Copa America final since winning the title as hosts in 2001.

The final promises to be an intense and thrilling encounter between two of South America’s football powerhouses, with Messi’s Argentina seeking to continue their winning streak and James-led Colombia aiming to pull off a historic upset.

The match will be played at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, with the winner claiming the coveted Copa America title.
