Argentina – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Albiceleste” were able to win both previous tournaments, the Copa America and the World Cup. Still, the team doesn’t slow down even after that. The favourite started qualifying for the new World Cup very confidently, winning 5 times. At the same time, it is reasonable to mention the caveat of a 0-2 result in the struggle with Uruguay at the home arena.
Scaloni’s team played only friendly matches in 2024. It was done successfully and without particularly wasting energy (just look at how much time Messi got). Guatemala was completely destroyed.
Canada – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Reds” were finally able to return to World Cup level. On the other hand, there were already 3 defeats with a rather mediocre game. Speaking about the previous regional tournaments, there were eliminations in the quarter-finals. Moreover, it’s okay to be eliminated from the national team of the USA in the Gold Cup, especially on penalties, but Jamaica was stronger in the Nations League, at the same level.
One can note only a 2-0 result in the struggle with Trinidad and Tobago in 2024, just in the match for access to the Copa America. And a 0-4 failure in the confrontation with Netherlands, on the eve of the tournament, was followed by the opportunity to hold off France – 0-0.
