Canada will also face off against Chile , with the winner advancing to the knockout rounds. The stakes couldn't be higher.
Argenti na has confirmed that Lionel Messi, their star player, will not grace the final group stage match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, as they have already secured a spot. Instead, Messi will rest a hamstring injury that he sustained against Chile. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said this is a great chance to give the younger players some tournament experience.
