Yea but Colombia is now battle tested so to speak. They've been beating teams and dominating games, 10 men against Uruguay is not easy, cuz bielsa has Uruguay playing high intensity football. What I love about this match up is that Colombia are fired up and Argentina is a big tournament team that gets it done, they just rise to the occasion.

[@CocoKaynn]

So Colombia is gonna play worse on Sunday because they cried after winning a semi final? Lmao

[@whiteknight8734]

It's not about crying. It's about going all out. If you had ever played football in a do or die match in a competition and gave it your absolute everything in the game, then it's almost given that in the next game, you can't top that performance or energy. Fatigue is a very common thing in football. Which is why you would often see clubs performing wonders in champions league and losing the next league game or performing worse. It's because they simply cant replicate that energy after 2-3 days.

[@friendswithwheels1054]

yes.

[@TWAAAAACKS]

Because Uruguay gave them a hard match and they had to fight a ton harder than Argentina had to v Canada, tons of key players were injured enough that they'll probably not be at 100% by Sunday, they're one man down with a red + add on that they'll be 1 day less rested than Argentina. The crying comment was mostly to relay that Columbia, with how great they've been so far, didn't fly past Uruguay as easily as many thought and they took a lot of hits heading into the final. Uruguay, at the end especially, gave up on winning and wanted to make it as hard as possible for Columbia to get the next win

[@brandonayala4605]

It’s not obviously a given that they are gonna play worse, but it’s highly likely that they are not gonna play with the same energy as they did against Uruguay. Fatigue is a real thing and it showed with Uruguay today. Uruguay had to fight there way through Brazil and therefore looked incredibly more disorganized and didn’t go all out compared to the Brazil match, and by the dying minutes, it was clear that Uruguay were all out of juice and basically were in the edge of giving up.

[@elduderino7767]

mainly because they've lost left back and left attacking midfielder for the final the 2nd string is significantly weaker and will impact what the team can do - colombian are already against it in terms of quality and energy, losing 2 key starters is a bridge too far smart money is on argentina

As a Colombian fan myself, Colombia have been impressive, beating a weak Panama side 5-0 and a tough Uruguay side down a man 1-0. I haven't quite seen the intensity from Argentina, getting past Ecuador in pens but then controlling Canada 2-0. But then again, Argentina are World Cup champions and defending Copa America champions, so they could turn it up all of a sudden and show the same class they did in Qatar.

I strongly disagree. Argentina doesn't have England vibes. Coming out 9 out of 9 points from the group stage with 5 goals and 0 against them, that was matching Spain's current stats for this Euros. England got to a final only winning 1 match and drawing 2, 5 of possible 9. The only similarity is going to penalties against a team that on paper should've been easier to take down. But it's ultimately been luck hat took England to the final. What takes Argentina is heart and grit, sometimes abandoning original plan of attack.

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

The Copa América between Colombia and Argentina will be an interesting game to watch. Colombia are riding on a high note as they’ve gone 28 games without a defeat and they haven’t lost a game in international football in over 2 years and during this period they’ve beaten some of the highest ranked nations in the world (Germany Spain Brazil and now Uruguay). The last time they lost a game was against the they’re playing against in the final. You can say whatever you want about South American football, that’s still an impressive run that they’re on as they’ve had to beat a lot of top ranked teams to maintain their form even if they’re playing (international friendlies, Copa América, qualifiers etc.). They’re going up against Argentina who are world champions and have had more trophies won than games lost in the last 3 years and even after winning the World Cup, they’re on the brink of winning another international trophy to cap off one of the most dominant runs we’ve ever seen from a team in international football even if they’ve had to scrape away wins and rely on penalties to get the joke done for them. It would be great Colombia wins the Copa América because going into this tournament they were in red hot form and they’ve shown no signs of slowing down, they’ve been the best team and the thing about them is that they play with a lot of energy and intensity which is what we see from South American teams their players have technical skills and tenacity meaning that in 1v1 matchups they have a good chance at winning a lot of battles whether it’s in attack and defense. As good as they’ve been, Argentina are a team who you should be backing in a final that they’re in and that’s because of their hunger and form and their winning mentality is on another level because by their standards they could do better as we haven’t always seen the best version of them, at the end of the day that doesn’t matter in major tournaments especially if you continue to do what counts which is win games and they know how to get results in different ways and that’s where Lionel Scaloni deserves a lot more praise than what he gets. I have a feeling that if the game is level after 90 minutes, Argentina will win on penalties to secure another major trophy and if that happens, Colombia will remain unbeaten since historically speaking they don’t count penalty shootouts towards actual defeats if the game is tied after regular time. Anyways it’ll be an interesting yet scrappy game to watch between 2 in form teams as Argentina are the last team to have beaten Colombia in a game in international football which was 2 years ago.

[@jhamler1]

Man... I dunno. If Messi makes a play or two, Argentina are the favorites. But if he only walks around, shooting over the bar every chance he gets? I agree with you. Colombia will win in regulation. 2-1. That's my prediction. Bet.

The Mexican guy in the middle didnt get the point the other guys are making: based on trends, we've seen Argentina overcome final challenges and show their strength despite the athleticism of the opposite team like France in the world cup or Brazil in last Copa America, but since we havent seen that yet from Colombia as this is their first final in recent history, so its hard to bet against Argentina.

If he now wants to play at the top level again then that's good to see and I hope he does well, yet of the two Messi winning what is likely to be his last major international final is by far the better story. James also is at an age where he is likely to still be able to play another World Cup and Copa.
