Argentina vs. Colombia: Messi and Team Prepare for Copa America Final

Argentina and Colombia will face in Monday's Copa America final, each aiming to make history.

In Miami, people are getting excited about the Copa América final happening on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium. The match will feature Argentina, the current Copa América and World Cup champions, facing off against Colombia, promising an exciting showdown at 8 p.m. ET. Ticket prices on resale sites like StubHub have gone up to $1,600, showing how much people are looking forward to what might be Lionel Messi's last major appearance for Argentina.

After winning a semifinal against Canada, Messi expressed his happiness about taking part in these final battles with the national team. At 37, Messi, widely seen as one of the greatest soccer players of all time, has won many awards, including a record eight Ballon d’Or awards and major successes with Barcelona and Argentina.

Colombia, led by midfielder James Rodríguez, comes into the final with momentum, having won a record 28 consecutive games. However, they will miss defender Daniel Muñoz, who was sent off in a recent match against Uruguay. The semifinal itself was spoiled by disturbances after the match as Uruguay players clashed with fans, causing chaos and safety worries at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In response to the incident, Copa América organizers have started an investigation, condemning any violence that ruins the spirit of the tournament. Meanwhile, in the United States, there is disappointment after the national team left the tournament early, leading to coach Gregg Berhalter being fired. The U.S. Soccer Federation is now focused on hiring a new coach to get ready for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

As excitement grows for the Copa América final, everyone will be watching Messi and Colombia's strength, setting up what promises to be an unforgettable clash of soccer giants in Miami.
