Argentina vs Canada live stream: How to watch Copa America 2024 semi-final today. Argentina and Canada will be playing their penultimate match at 2024 Copa America when they clash at the MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.
However, both sides will want to feature in the final showdown rather than in the third-place play-off as the victors will play against the winners of the other semi-final match between Uruguay and Colombia.
Argentina are dangerously reliant on individual moments
Tonight's Argentina vs Canada live stream comes from MetLife Stadium, where two of the tournament's standout players are in action in the Copa America semi-final. No, not Lionel Messi, but Albiceleste striker Lautaro Martinez and Canucks goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau, whose own personal conflict might well decide the game. You can watch it from anywhere
Argentina vs Canada live stream, date, time and channels
The Argentina vs Canada live stream takes place today (Tuesday, July 9).
Les Rouges gambled with the last-minute appointment of Jesse Marsch, but he's repaid their faith by leading Canada to the last four on their Copa America debut. Incredibly, wasteful finishing has been the overarching theme of Canada's tournament – they've only scored twice – and they've also had to overcome some extremely questionable refereeing along the way. In Alphonso Davies they have a top-tier playmaker, but Jonathan David has to sharpen up. Tajon Buchanan is out after suffering a broken leg in training.
For Argentina, Martinez's superb form has glossed over Messi's ongoing struggles, but even now it would take a brave man to drop the misfiring megastar. Lionel Scaloni no doubt will be privately hoping that the Inter marksman and Alexis Mac Allister will be able to continue carrying their No.10, and that superstars-in-the-making Julian Alvarez and Alejandro Garnacho are still content with trying to make their contributions from the bench.
Argentina team news
Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez will lead the line, with Angel Di Maria and Julian Alvarez available as options from the bench.
Penalty shootout hero against Ecuador in the quarter-finals, Emiliano Martinez will man in goal behind a familiar back-four of Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Tagliafico.
Alexis Mac Allister and Giovani Lo Celso should marshal the midfield.
Argentina possible XI: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Li. Martinez, Tagliafico; De Paul, Mac Allister, Lo Celso, Gonzalez; Messi, La. Martinez.
Canada team news
Inter Milan attacker Tajon Buchanan is a major doubt after picking up a knock in training ahead of Canada's quarter-final against Venezuela.
Head coach Jesse Marsch may go in for an unchanged line-up. Cyle Larin will feature upfront, with Richie Laryea and Jacob Shaffelburg supporting from the wide areas.
Like Emi Martinez, Maxime Crepeau stopped two penalties in the shootout in the last-eight.
After missing Argentina's final Group A match, Lionel Messi returned from injury during his country's quarterfinal test against Ecuador. Argentina enters the semifinal on a nine-match winning streak, including a 2-0 victory over Canada during the group stage. Canada will be looking to reach the finals for the first time.
Canada advanced to the knockout stage despite scoring one goal in group play, and it defeated Venezuela on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. Argentina, seeking a record 16th Copa America championship, beat Ecuador on penalty kicks in their quarterfinal match.
Here is more background ahead of the match, courtesy of the Associated Press:
The Canadians beat Venezuela 4-3 on penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals. Just the fourth team to advance out of group play by scoring just one goal, Canada is moving on again following a 0-0 draw against Chile that sent it to the elimination round.
“People will talk about should we score more goals or whatever,” Marsch said. “We should score more goals. But those are two pretty strong performances against very good opponents. You can see that this team is building.”
The victory earned 48th-ranked Canada a rematch with Lionel Messi and Argentina, the world No. 1 and defending Copa America champion, on Tuesday night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Argentina beat Canada 2-0 in a group play opener.
Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez stopped shootout attempts by Ángel Mena and Alan Minda, and Argentina advanced to the Copa America semifinals with a 4-2 victory on penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw against Ecuador Thursday night
“We know what Dibu is capable of, that he really thrives on those moments. He really enjoys them,” Messi said about Martínez, using the goalkeeper’s nickname.
Argentina conceded a tying goal to Ecuador in second-half injury time but rebound and won the quarterfinal when Nicolás Otamendi beat Alexander Domínguez with the winning kick.
“I wasn’t ready to go home,” Martínez said. “This team deserved to advance. They complicated us a lot. They played a great match, very physical. We knew they were one of the top rivals in Copa America.”
Seeking its third straight major title, Argentina advanced to the semifinals for the fifth straight Copa America and will play Venezuela or Canada on Tuesday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. Argentina is looking to win a record 16th Copa America championship.
Argentina was all but a given to reach the semifinal round after opening Copa America 2024 as the favorite to win it. Messi missed the team’s final group stage match with a hamstring ailment and returned for a quarterfinal matchup with Ecuador, which Argentina won on penalty kicks after playing to a 1-1 draw. Messi missed his lone penalty attempt as he continues his bid to become Copa America’s all-time leading scorer.
Canada also advanced to the Copa America semifinals on the strength of a win on penalties, taking down Venezuela, 4-3, after a 1-1 draw in regulation. The Canadians haven’t lost a Copa match since falling to Argentina, 2-0, in their tourney opener last month. That includes a 1-0 win over Peru, a 0-0 draw with Chile and Friday’s win over Venezuela.
Argentina vs Canada kicks off the semi-final stage of the Copa America 2024. It’s a clash between the holders and a team who have never been in this competition before. There will be one key question at the MetLife Stadium - is this the last time we will see Lionel Messi in a major competition?
Messi has not been firing on all cylinders in the Copa America 2024. Perhaps at 37 years old that shouldn’t be a surprise. Seing him miss a penalty against Ecuador was still a shock though. His side are heavy favorites for this game, but may require the kind of energy up front that someone like Julian Alvarez can bring as they seek to defend their title
This is Canada's first appearance in the Copa America, so reaching the semi-finals is undoubtedly a huge achievement. The biggest problem that Jesse Marsch’s side have is that they do not score enough goals. They missed a huge number of chances in their quarter-final against Venezuela and needed penalties to go through.
La Albiceleste beat Canada 2-0 to open the tournament and did not concede a single goal during the group stage, with 1-0 and 2-0 wins over Chile and Peru, respectively. However, Lionel Scaloni's side will not be happy that a late goal against Ecuador left them needing to progress to the semifinals through a penalty shootout.
First-time Copa America participants Canada, meanwhile, are playing without any pressure under new boss Jesse Marsch. The American head coach has only been at the helm for a half-dozen games and Les Rouges are making their first-ever Copa America appearance, but they have produced stunningly impressive results.
The loss to Argentina was followed up by a 1-0 victory over 10-man Peru and a goalless draw with another strong outfit in Chile. Venezuela's unexpected undefeated run in the group stage meant Canada faced them in the quarterfinals instead of Ecuador. Marsch's side fought to a 1-1 draw against Venezuela and prevailed in a penalty shootout to force a replay against Argentina in the last four.
Lionel Messi was sensational against Canada to open the tournament, then decent against Chile before missing the group game against Peru through injury. He was not at his best against Ecuador and was the only Argentine player to miss his penalty shot during the deciding shootout, but we will surely see a better version of the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner in this rematch against Canada.
With the captain struggling for goals and fitness, Inter Milan hitman Lautaro Martínez has provided the spark up front and leads the Golden Boot race with four goals. Although Manchester City's dynamic and versatile attacker, Julian Alvarez, opened his Copa America account against Canada in the tournament opener, the 24-year-old could be forced to settle for a spot on the bench.
At the back, Lisandro Martinez will continue to get the nod over Nicolas Otamendi following his goal-scoring heroics last time out, with the Manchester United man set to line up alongside Cristian Romero in central defence. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was yet again the hero, saving two penalties and Messi's blushes in the penalty shootout to book his side's place in the semifinals.
