Argentina doesn't go for too many goals if feels that the game is safe. It always has to do with the time on the tournament you are in. Thinking in keeping legs rested for the final after second goal and approaching the match end. For so i think u.s would had been more or less the same as Canada..

In Canada the team is covered on top of the news. In the USA the national team scores aren’t even mentioned on the sportscasts. Soccer is bigger in Canada than the States plus American mainstream media is still prejudice against soccer.

This is so crazy. Only a few years ago, Canada hadn't even played a World Cup and was many steps below the USA. Now I see MLS growing, especially since last year with Messi, but the Canadian team growing even faster. I don't even know how that happened

Nah, it's like that in Canada also. Most of the time soccer is completely ignored in mainstream media. We had to get to the Copa semis in order to get SOME attention.

Lalas would you please let FS1 know they need to step up the enthusiasm of the commentators narrating the games. The games have lots of action and activity that’s not being described. A good commentator/narrator duo should be able to describe all the action of those 90+ minutes with passion. Perhaps the trick would be for them to imagine they are narrating the game for someone who’s watching but can’t see.

None of them are more convenient than having it in Miami. Congratulations to the people that planned this out perfectly..

[@greywarden95]

I guess you need to understand how the Copa draw gets made. Argentina is ranked 1. They are also 1 in the Conmebol standings. It’s not just done randomly. Argentina is likely to get easier draws and that’s a result of their success.

[@FrankDAmico-dr5dl]

Good point on Spain, they arguably are the #1 football nation on the earth. Their men's and women's national teams (at all levels) and La Liga, they have demonstrated they truly are the best. If they win the Euros and Argentina wins Copa America, it will be interesting if there is another Finalissima.

[@FrankDAmico-dr5dl]

@@fletcherchristian6411 I think is a combination of so many factors were Brazil has gone down but the world has also caught up. Spain has always been up there, but as of 2008, Spain has gone up to the next level. As an Italian, we have also gone down quite a bit to where we missed 2 WC's and frankly I don't see us making it to WC26. But Spain as of right now, they are the Kings, they play attractive and smart football and are very humble about it. I guess you may be from Spain so be proud with no excuses. There is a lot of evidence that you guys are at the top.

We all know how Lalas really feels about Messi. It's no surprise he hides negative comments about Messi and his team within what seem like positive reviews. His bad intentions are clear. To be honest, hearing an American criticize Argentina for being "ugly" at times is amusing. Why don't you use these words when talking about your own team, the USA? Does your producer not allow it? When will the USMNT win something important?

[@tashrif46]

we are the champions mate. to defeat the champion you have to kill him. Argentina is the true host of the tournament. played the opening match. was given the most accesible group.

WIN SOMETHING, ANYTHING, A RAFFLE.
