Lionel Messi and Argentina are two matches away from adding another title to their soccer dynasty.
Messi will be in action for the first match Tuesday during Argentina’s Copa America semifinal against Canada.
“Leo is well. He finished the last game well, and he’ll be part of the game tomorrow,” Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni said Monday during a press conference at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the semifinal will be played.
Although Messi has been the catalyst to three of Argentina’s six goals, he has underwhelmed slightly during the tournament being hosted in his new home country for the last year since joining Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.
How to watch Argentina vs. Canada Copa America live stream?
Argentina and Canada will play at 8 p.m. ET (9 p.m. in Argentina) on Tuesday. The game will be broadcast by FS1 in English, and Univision/TUDN in Spanish.
Is Messi playing vs. Canada?
